In the 12 months between Academy Award–winner Lupita Nyong’o’s Vogue covers, the actress has enjoyed star turns in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the upcoming Queen of Katwe, along with countless pre-event appearances that further solidified her real-life role as our favorite red carpet beauty rule-breaker. In an age of no-makeup makeup, Nyong’o has never been one to shy away from color—from her famously bold manicures to her eye palettes, which include a wash of gold, extended flicks of alabaster, and shimmering shades of royal blue and lilac.
But the pigments don’t stop there, particularly since Nyong’o is known to ignore the classic mandate to never wear both an “eye” and a “lip.” Though the actress typically paints her mouth in shades of electrifying pink, red, or tangerine, an unexpected sapphire made for a new kind of futuristic appeal at the London premiere of Star Wars, a contemporary aesthetic furthered by Nyong’o’s haircut: a high-top fade adorned in black netting, just one example of a longtime commitment to keep-them-guessing hairstyles. And in keeping with the more-is-more theme, Nyong’o’s face-framing accessories—turbans! headbands! jewels! statement earrings!—tend to riff off outfits and accompanying beauty looks, the overall effect both irreverent and immaculate. Here, 10 times our October cover girl broke the rules on the red carpet.
