Lupita Nyong’o is one Hollywood celebrity who doesn’t shy away from trying new things on the red carpet, and she most definitely didn’t shy away at the Star Wars Force 4 Fashion Event in New York in December 2015.

Do you notice anything about her outfit in the video below?

That’s right! Lupita Nyong’o interestingly chose an outfit that lights up. Perhaps this is an ode to all the lightsabers they used in her much-anticipated upcoming film Star Wars: The Force Awakens?

On the red carpet, Lupita Nyong’o shared her enthusiasm for the Star Wars universe and highlighted her collaboration with designer Zac Posen and Google for their initiative, Made with Code. “This is a Zac Posen collaboration with Google for an initiative they have called Made with Code, where they encourage young girls to try out computer science as a possible career,” she explained. She emphasized the connection between fashion and science, saying, “This is how fashion can intersect with science.”

She expressed her excitement for Star Wars and added, “I love both fashion and Star Wars. I’m geeking out like everyone else over this film…I can’t wait to see the film and to experience it with everyone else who loves it so much.”

Lupita’s one-of-a-kind light-up dress was designed with Zac Posen and Google’s Made With Code, a nonprofit initiative that inspires girls to learn to code. Do you prefer it to Claire Danes’ Zac Posen light-up dress?

The actress still kept pretty mum about her character in Star Wars, but at least she already appeared on the Comic-Con reel after her noticeable absence in the first trailer.
