Whenever you hear that Lupita Nyong\u2019o<\/a> is going to arrive at an event, you know we\u2019re in for a stunning, radiant, and rather daring red carpet moment. Ever since Nyong\u2019o hit the A-list scene, her red-carpet fashion has continuously taken our breath away. Truly, she\u2019s a modern-day style icon, and her red carpet fashion proves it.<\/p>\n

In a previous interview with Elle<\/a>, she said she truly loves having fun with her style. \u201cI\u2019ve always had fun with style. You know, I\u2019ve always cared about what I wear. I\u2019ve tried to express myself with what I wear and what I do with my outward appearance, to kind of somehow reflect part of my inner appearance,\u201d she said.\u201dAnd yeah, it\u2019s always been a part of me. I\u2019ve always had fun with it. I think now I\u2019ve gone through like a crash course on the fashion industry and the art of fashion, which has been fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

In honor of Nyong\u2019o\u2019s 43rd birthday today, let\u2019s take a look back at her best red carpet looks ever:<\/p>\n
