Lupita Nyong’o just nabbed her first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “12 Years a Slave” and the girl is clearly only getting started. A newcomer to the red carpet, Lupita is already dominating the scene with some of the best, most versatile hair and makeup looks we’ve ever seen. Whoever said pixie cuts were limited clearly has never seen Lupita, who manages to show up with a new hairstyle to every single event — thanks to her hairstylists, Ted Gibson and Larry Sims — and her makeup is on point again and again with help from Nick Barose.
Below, we’ve pulled together some very important GIFs of our girl Lupita, highlighting her flawless hair and makeup throughout awards season.
