Lupita Nyong’o was the unrivaled queen of “The Jungle Book” premiere held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California, on Monday.
The 33-year-old actress was resplendent in a green knit top and a gold disc-embellished maxi skirt that perfectly embodied the movie’s vibrant and kid-friendly theme.

Employing the twirling skills she’s come to be known for, Lupita expertly showed off her gladiator-style skirt’s multiple slits with her every step and sway.

The skirt was supposedly inspired by car wash flaps, and based on the way the Mexican-Kenyan actress moves in the following photos, it’s easy to understand.
