Lupita Nyong’o Wore Armani Privé To ‘The Odyssey’ Paris Photocall

Lupita Nyong’o is delivering at every stop on this press tour, and that was once again the case as she arrived at the Trocadéro for The Odyssey Paris photocall this evening alongside Charlize Theron and Zendaya.

Speaking of her co-star, Lupita could easily have followed Zendaya’s lead and stepped out in a Chanel Fall 2026 Haute Couture look fresh from the runway after attending Matthieu Blazy’s show earlier in the day. But if you’ve seen that collection, it probably won’t come as a surprise that she looked elsewhere.

Instead, she wore a custom Armani Privé gown that immediately stole the spotlight. The rich burgundy hue alone was enough to make an impact, while the intricate crystal embellishment, inspired by Look 37 from the Spring 2025 collection, shimmered across the sculpted silhouette. This was classic Lupita: elegant, refined and completely captivating.

She completed the look with a matching Armani Privé clutch, Hearts On Fire’s Barre Multi Row Drop earrings, Vela rings and metallic Giuseppe Zanotti sandals.

As someone who usually reaches for pumps, this is an unexpected turn from Lupita. For the second evening in a row, she opted for sandals, and I’m completely on board with the change.
