Lupita at the Oscars Lupita

Lupita Nyong’o donned a stunning floor-length pearl-beaded gown to the Academy Awards on Sunday that quickly drew online comparisons to Kim Kardashian’s outfit for a 2008 Playboy shoot.

The 31-year-old Oscar-winning actress wore a custom Calvin Klein gown that featured 6 000 pearls to the 87th annual awards ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Social media was quick to compare the elegant outfit to the few pearl strands 34-year-old reality star Kim wore for her infamous Playboy photoshoot. Twitter users posted numerous posts noting the similarities between the two outfits.

Lupita returned to the Oscars after winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress last year for her work in “12 Years A Slave”.

Lupita accessorised with dangling Chopard diamond earrings and sparkling diamond rings.

The Yale University graduate kept her make-up simple with a shiny red lip and subtle swipes of blue eyeshadow.

Lupita recently has been working on Disney’s reboot of “The Jungle Book”, voicing the character Raksha. She is also set to star in the Star Wars reboot, “Episode VII – The Force Awakens”.

The actress has been attached to the film “Queen of Katwe” based on the true story of Ugandan chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi. Lupita landed her first feature film role in Steve McQueen’s historical drama “12 Years A Slave” and her portrayal of slave Patsey was met with critical acclaim.
