Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o made sure that her reputation as a style mavern remained intact as she wore with two stunning dresses on Saturday.
The radiant 31-year-old attended the 2014 annual Garden Brunch in Washington DC alongside her mother Dorothy before leading the stylish stars at the White House Correspondents' dinner.
Lupita looked incredible in a Giambattista Valli satin strapless gown which had a puffball skirt detail at the first event of the day at the Beall-Washington House.

The elegant number had a rose print running through it and ruching around the bustline.
Posing for photographs, the Hollywood star held a golden clutch bag by Judith Leiber and earrings by Fred Leighton. She topped off the look with gold Christian Louboutin shoes.
She kept her make-up minimal, save for a slick of ox-blood lipstick which matched the tones in her fairytale gown perfectly.

She is thought to be taking a role in upcoming thriller Who Shot The Sheriff as well as a part in the remake of 1967 classic movie The Jungle Book.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Nyong'o is in final negotiations to voice the character of mother wolf Rakcha, who adopts Mowgli and raises him as her own.
So far, the only cast member signed to the project is Golden Globe-winner Idris Elba, who will play Mowgli's arch nemesis, Shere Khan, the man-eating tiger.
