And the winner is … Lupita Nyong’o. The “12 Years a Slave” star is the best dressed of the 2014 awards season after donning a gorgeous icy blue gown at the 2014 Oscars.

The pressure was certainly on this newcomer, who made a bold entrance on the fashion stage at the 2014 Golden Globes in an unforgettable red Ralph Lauren caped gown and has continued to stun ever since.

Unlike Anne Hathaway, 2013′s style star who choked on the Oscars red carpet (she decided at that last minute to wear an unflattering pink Prada after discovering her “Les Miserables” co-star Amanda Seyfried’s gown was too similar to her Valentino), Nyong’o stayed true to her red carpet style: eye-catching color, effortless silhouette. Her ice blue custom-made Prada gown had a deep V neckline, and she accessorized it simply with diamond earrings and a chic headband. “It’s a blue that reminds me of Nairobi,” says the Kenya-born actress, “so I want to have a little bit of home.”- New Jersey.com
