Lupita wore the promotional shirt underneath a chic, form-fitting black leather jacket, which she coupled with a pair of skintight black leggings.

She carried a large, black leather handbag as she arrived in Los Angeles, and hid her eyes behind a pair of coordinating sunglasses.

She kept her make-up simple for the arrival, but accessorized her look with a black headband and a small pair of white earrings.
Earlier on Friday Lupita took to Instagram to share a photo from inside the private jet, posing in the T-shirt and alongside a toy Stormtrooper she calls 'Thunder.'
The star, who was born in Mexico City, Mexico before being raised in Kenya, was not afraid to whip out her Spanish for the occasion, as she returned to the country as a teenager to properly learn the language.
Prior to her visit for Star Wars, Lupita had gushed to The Huffington Post about missing the country, in which she had studied for seven months.

In another photograph, she showed off her favorite Stormtrooper toy - and traveling companion - alongside an even smaller version, apparently called 'Lightning.'
'#Thunder meets @r2rocine's #Lightning. The next generation. #theforceawakens #forcefriday,' she wrote.
