“While making the press rounds for her new film Queen of Katwe, Lupita Nyong’o added majestic head wraps to her signature red carpet look.

Nyong’o told People magazine that her “crowns” are inspired by the character she plays on the big screen. Working with her stylist, Micaela Erlanger, and her hairstylist, Vernon François, Nyong’o creates statement-making head wraps with fabrics sourced from as far as East Africa.
