Lupita Nyong’o dazzles on “The Odyssey” press tour across London, Paris and New York

Oscar‑winner Lupita Nyong’o promoted Christopher Nolan’s epic film “The Odyssey,” in which she plays Helen of Troy and her sister Clytemnestra. Her press tour visited London, Paris and New York, turning each stop into a fashion showcase.

Highlights included a crystal‑embellished Christian Cowan gown in London, a red beaded Chanel dress in Paris, and a natural‑afro hairstyle paired with understated makeup in New York. Stylists emphasized individuality, with hair designer Vernon François shaping a cone‑shaped afro in London and a “loop ‘fro” in Paris, while makeup artist Nick Barose used rich black‑cherry lipstick. The tour was noted for celebrating couture, natural beauty and fearless styling.

The campaign generated discussion about representation and personal expression in Hollywood’s red‑carpet circuit.
