Lupita Nyong’o Feels ‘Shameless’ And ‘Strengthened’ In Silver Breastplate Cast From Her Own Naked Body At The Tonys
Lupita Nyong’o is having an out-of-body experience.
On Sunday night, the Oscar-winner attended the 2023 Tony Awards and stole the show on the red carpet with a silver breastplate cast from a mold of her nude body.
“A SHAMELESS OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE,” she wrote on Instagram, sharing photos of the striking outfit.
“Honored, humbled, strengthened and energized to don this breastplate created by @mishajapanwala, which she cast and molded of my body,” Nyong’o shared.
“Misha Japanwala is a Pakistani artist and fashion designer, whose work is rooted in the rejection and deconstruction of external shame attached to one’s body,” the actress explained. “In her artistic process, she creates a realistic and true record of a person’s body as an act of resistance and celebration, and an insistence on being allowed to exist freely in our bodies.”
She added, “Misha, thank you for this special opportunity to BE EXACTLY HERE, IN THIS BODY NOW.”
