Lupita wore a form-fitting, sleeveless grey dress by Hugo Boss which featured a chic geometric pattern along the front.

The figure-hugging number - which showed off the star's athletic shape - hit at just below her knees and featured a slit along the front.

She covered the dress with a coordinating, chic grey blazer, which the star wore with the collar flipped up.

Steal Lupita's style in a sheer insert sheath dress

Lupita Nyong'o put an upscale twist on her business attire when she made an appearance on The View in a full ensemble by Boss.

The 12 Years A Slave star donned a pale grey dress with a matching jacket, red pumps, and the American brand's 'Bespoke' bag.

We love the pop of color that Lupita added to her monochrome separates with her scarlet footwear, but her front split frock stole the show. Pulled from the Fall 2015 collection, the classic sheath was updated with sheer mesh inserts.

Creative director, Jason Wu, is one of Michelle Obama's favorite designers and we're already counting on her to turn up in a piece or two from his latest line. You won't find Lupita's look in stores just yet, but click right to get a similar dress from Nordstrom.

In the show, which takes place during the Liberian Civil War and is written by The Walking Dead's Danai Gurira, Lupita plays 'the newest and youngest sex slave that is being held captive by a rebel commander.' 

As Lupita describes, the show is 'about these women and how they deal with the situation of war and what war does to who they become.' 

The 12 Years a Slave star actually started out as a stage actor, having trained at Yale. However, this is her first time back on stage since performing at Yale.
