Ahead of the Academy Awards, a smörgåsbord of A-listers attended the 16th annual Pre-Oscar dinner hosted by Charles Finch and Chanel. Lupita Nyong'o was invited to the chic event—alongside Demi Moore, Lily-Rose Depp, Elle Fanning, and Colman Domingo—and her red carpet outfit was a masterclass in dressing like an Oscar winner.
Nyong'o, of course, won the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award in 2014 for her very first feature film appearance in 12 Years a Slave. On Saturday, March 1, she attended the intimate Pre-Oscar dinner at Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel in a silk organza dress adorned with shimmering feathers. The completely sheer Chanel shirtdress—look 66 in the label's Spring/Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection—features balloon sleeves, a large shirt collar, silver buttons, and sparkling feathers dripping from the skirt.
