Lupita Nyong’o Looks Like an Actual Queen With Gold Wire in Her Hair

Even though Kendrick Lamar and Sza‘s stunning music video for “All the Stars” is the latest “Black Panther” update to take Twitter by storm (Lamar is producing the film’s soundtrack), we can’t let leading actress Lupita Nyong’o’s innovative and affordable hairstyle slip by.

Last night, the Oscar winner stepped out with her co-stars for the film’s Seoul, South Korea premiere and looked like royalty in a hairdo fit for a queen. Her trusty hairstylist, Vernon Francois, made sure she sparkled by wrapping metallic string around her signature afro. As you can see, it perfectly mirrored her golden stacked necklace.
