Lupita Nyong’o is one Hollywood celebrity who doesn’t shy away from trying new things on the red carpet, and she most definitely hasn’t shied away at the Star Wars Force 4 Fashion Event in New York.

Do you notice anything about her outfit in the video she uploaded? (A word of warning: turn down your volumes).

That’s right! Lupita Nyong’o interestingly chose an outfit that lights up. Perhaps this is an ode to all the lightsabers they used in her much-anticipated upcoming film Star Wars: The Force Awakens?

Lupita’s one-of-a-kind light-up dress was designed in partnership with Zac Posen and Google’s Made With Code, a nonprofit initiative that inspires girls to learn to code. Do you prefer it to Claire Danes’ Zac Posen light-up dress?

The actress still kept pretty mum about her character in Star Wars, but at least she already made an appearance on the Comic-Con reel after her noticeable absence in the first trailer.

Lupita wore a science-meets-fashion dress which was custom-made by Zac Posen. The daring actress wore a pair of Christian Louboutin “Tac Clac” in patchwork with the futuristic dress.

The 32-year-old talked more about her dress and showcased it in its full glory. And in case you weren’t over it yet, yes it lights up.
