Nyong’o wore a striking dress by Jonathan Cohen for the event, and the style was actually named after her. On the brand’s official Instagram page, it was revealed, “@lupitanyongo was our first celebrity to wear one of our dresses (nearly 5 years ago!) so every time she wears a piece it is very special. Even more special because this dress was named after her! Thank you Lupita and @micaela for letting us be apart of this journey!
Meanwhile, Gurira stunned in Oscar de la Renta, which she wore with Yael Sonia’s Perpetual Motion Swinging Circle earrings. The show-stopping earrings, which feature Tahitian pearls and diamonds, retail for $10,350. The actress completed the look with a chic pair of Manolo Blahnik heels.
