Lupita Nyong’o in Misha Japanwala @ Tony Awards 2023

Lupita Nyong’o in Misha Japanwala and De Beers Jewelry

The Oscar-winner said she felt “honored, humbled, strengthened and energized” to wear a silver breastplate cast and molded from her body by Pakistani artist and fashion designer Misha Japanwala, whose work “is rooted in the rejection and deconstruction of external shame attached to one’s body,” Nyong’o wrote on Instagram.

The actress added, “In her artistic process, she creates a realistic and true record of a person’s body as an act of resistance and celebration, and an insistence on being allowed to exist freely in our bodies.” Nyong’o teamed the breastplate with a sleek black suit and accessorized with De Beers jewels.
