Lupita Nyong'o channels classic Hollywood glamour in white scallop-edge bikini
SHE was recently dubbed 'the most beautiful woman of the year' by People magazine, and Lupita Nyong'o has reenforced that title.
The 31-year-old star was spotted on the beach in Maui looking simply incredible - showing off a seriously enviable figure.
The actress is in Hawaii to attend the Maui Film Festival, where she will accept the Rainmaker award for her turn in 12 Years A Slave.
It's reported she will also be recognised for her work on the 2009 documentary In My Genes, which she created, directed, edited and produced.
Wearing a white scallop-edged two-piece, the star took a cooling walk in the wash of the sea as she relaxed on a day off.
The Mexican-born beauty shot to fame last year when she starred in 12 Years A Slave - a blockbuster movie that cleaned up at the Oscars in February.
Wearing a wide-brimmed hat, Lupita channeled old-school glamour as she strutted along the beach.
The star accessoried with huge sunglasses and a simple silver belly chain - further enhancing her slender figure.
The Kenyan star was revealed as the latest in a long line of Hollywood A-list names to be making an appearance in J.J. Abrams' much-anticipated Staw Wars sequel: Episode VII.
