Nyong’o, who’s been working with her longtime stylist Micaela Erlanger on her looks, showcased Giuseppe Zanotti‘s Lilibeth 105 sandal style in a snakeskin print. Retailing for $995, the silhouette embodies a less-is-more ethos with a simple slingback strap and hourglass-shaped stretch across the toes; meanwhile, a 105mm thin stiletto heel elevates the style. The reptilian print shoe, grounding Nyong’o’s look in earthy shades, carries on the snakeskin footwear trend that picked up in 2025 with myriad brands and celebrities embracing the wildlife inspiration.

Nyong’o modeled her Giuseppe Zanotti heels with a silky Silvia Tcherassi halter neck dress with geometric patterning and vibrant chartreuse standing out in the color palette. Her white bag was from Mulberry while her sunglasses hailed from Cutler and Gross; she also accessorized with jewelry from Marco Bicego.
Nyong’o wore this look to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where she showcased a black Diotoma look with black pointed-toe pumps.
