Lupita Nyong’o just slipped back into the spotlight—this time, with “The Odyssey.” The actress has officially joined the film’s press tour, stepping out alongside co-stars Zendaya and Anne Hathaway as the momentum builds.
Only a handful of cast members are still to come on the promotional circuit. Charlize Theron, Mia Goth and Samantha Morton have yet to join their castmates.
Nyong’o’s timing also carries a quiet significance. Unlike Zendaya and Anne, her last sustained promotional run came in October 2024, when she was promoting “The Wild Robot.” This first LaPointe look suggests she hasn’t lost the thread.
For a daytime appearance, the outfit leaned into glamour without heaviness. The fluid silver satin was trimmed with wispy feathers at the collar and cuffs, creating a balance that felt deliberately airy—an effect that suited a summer day in New York.
The finishing touches followed through. Jimmy Choo pumps and a Brahmin top-handle bag completed the look, and even with the bag’s snakeskin finish, it didn’t steal focus from the statement coat.
There was also a recognizable through-line for fans of her red-carpet style. The silver palette is more muted than the bold color fans often associate with Nyong’o. but it still reads like a confident opening—one that reinforces how consistently she can make a look feel intentional rather than trendy.
The press tour also adds a new layer of interest because of her work with Chanel. As a Chanel ambassador. Nyong’o hasn’t been seen much under Matthieu Blazy’s direction yet. so this run has plenty of room for what comes next. The question isn’t whether she’ll make an impression—it’s whether Chanel’s presence shows up in her wardrobe over the coming weeks.
Stylist: Micaela Erlanger. Makeup Artist: Nick Barose. Hair Stylist: Vernon François.
The actress’s latest move lands right where a press tour should: visible, stylish, and just specific enough to set up what viewers will watch for next.

So she’s back… but is it like officially a press tour or just outfits on outfits?
LaPointe sounds like a car brand lol. But that silver look with the feathers?? Kinda obsessed. Also I saw something about Chanel so now I’m confused—are they changing her wardrobe or is she just wearing whatever?
I don’t get why people care who’s on the press tour, but the article says only a handful are left like Charlize Theron and Mia Goth. Didn’t Mia Goth already promote something like last year? Feels like the timeline is off. Anyway if Lupita is with Chanel now, shouldn’t she already be doing those Matthieu Blazy looks right away?
Silver satin + Jimmy Choo + Brahmin bag… that’s like 3 rich-lady traps in one outfit. I’m trying to follow the logic though like it says she hasn’t “lost the thread,” which is a sewing thing? Like did she forget how to promote? 😂 And why does Chanel being in the wardrobe matter, like is the movie sponsored by Chanel or just her being an ambassador? I guess we’ll see, but this all feels like fashion news pretending to be movie news.
