As the Essence Music Festival wound down, things in Paris geared up for couture week. Today, Raf Simons offered his latest collection at Dior with billowing shapes and cape-like overcoats. Though only two models of color were a part of the casting, Lupita Nyong’o was front and center for the event, wearing a custom red pleated Dior Couture frock, Dior ‘So Real’ sunglasses, a Dior badge embellished clutch, and sensible heels.

For her front row seat alongside Anna Wintour, the star beamed in the short, simple, fun dress, cinched at the waist as is the style for the founder of the New Look.

With her natural hair in a little fro, she was the embodiment of summer fab.
