Lupita Nyong’o made her way down the red carpet in a white beaded dress at Glamour‘s Women of the Year Awards in NYC on Monday evening. The Oscar-winning actress recently graced the magazine’s December cover and was given the honor of being its annual woman of the year. In the accompanying interview, Lupita dropped some serious inspiration about fame and current beauty standards, saying, “To rely on the way you look is empty. You’re a pretty face, and then what? Your value is in yourself; the other stuff will come and go. We don’t get to pick the genes we want. There’s room in this world for beauty to be diverse.”
Lupita was joined at the high-profile event by fellow women of the year honorees Freida Pinto, Jodie Foster, Shonda Rhimes, and Girls star Zosia Mamet, who flaunted her figure in a belly-baring crop top. Also on hand for the fun was new mom Chelsea Clinton, who posed for photos with husband Marc Mezvinsky; the cute couple welcomed daughter Charlotte back in September and seemed to be enjoying a sweet date night at the event. Mom-to-be Coco Rocha was all smiles, and model Karlie Kloss showed off a new blond ‘do. Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox looked stunning in a cobalt gown, as did Keri Russell, who rocked a black leather jumpsuit, and Mindy Kaling, who sparkled in a short blue dress.
