Arriving in style to LAX is no problem for Lupita Nyong'o, who has won raves for her fashion sense since picking up an Oscar for 12 Years A Slave in 2014.

The 32-year-old was spotted on Monday wearing dark jeans, a white tank top as well as a cascading dark shawl with floral accents around her head. She was returning from a trip to Paris.

That same day the stunner shared her current nail color inspiration by displaying a copper hue alongside a delicate flower to her 1.7m Instagram followers.

Meanwhile, thousands fled to Comic Con 2015 in San Diego last Friday and were delighted to catch a first look at the Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens behind-the-scenes trailer featuring Nyong’o.

She makes a quick cameo appearance wearing a heavily-lit motion capture headpiece illuminating her face while portraying Maz Kanata in the continuation of the George Lucas saga.

Also on panel that day was Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fischer to discuss what fans can expect to see in the action-adventure flick coming to theaters this December.

Set thirty years after Return of the Jedi, director J.J. Abrams narrated the montage clip: ‘Real sets, practical effects. You've been here, but you don’t know this story. Nothing’s changed, but everything has changed. Just the way you like it.'

He went on: ‘To see the way technology is involved, yet keeping one foot in the pre-digital world.’

It’s been quite a busy time for the acclaimed star, considering Lupita was just pictured last week at the Lancome Paris Party wearing a jaw-dropping floor length metallic gown with a plunging neckline.

Just prior to that event, the actress was catching up with Vogue’s Editor in chief Anna Wintour as well as actress Emily Blunt at the Christian Dior fashion show.

She wore a red form-fitting skater dress and chic pointed-toe pumps to the star-studded Haute Couture collection.

Also making a glamorous appearance was supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and socialite Olivia Palmero.
