Pinkmate Fashion Crush: Lupita Nyong'o

Now, now, after the award season, who was your favorite?  In my case, no other than Lupita Nyong'o! I mean, who isn't smitten by this newbie?! I love how she embraced fashion so willingly (thanks to her stylist Michaela Erlanger as well!)
Below are my favorite of Lupita's red carpet looks:
