The Verdict: We could not agree with you more, Lupita Nyong’o is looking amazing! Furthermore, it also looks as though she has once again joined the Balmain Army. Just a few weeks ago Lupita was photographed in a glitzy, noire two-piece ensemble from the Balmain Pre-Fall 2018 collection; as she walked the red carpet at the 2018 National Board of Review Awards Gala.

Nevertheless, now Lupita is raiding Balmain’s spring designs. For her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, Nyong’o’s wardrobe stylist, Micaela Erlanger dressed her in a look from the Balmain Spring 2018 RTW (ready to wear) collection. Olivier Rousteing, the designer behind Balmain, says the spring collection’s vibe is inspired by Paris, France. In that case we say, “Si Belle!”

Why move Balmain to the entertainment capital of the world? That is the question that many have wondered in regards to Balmain’s decision to set up shop on the west coast in the heart of LA. Olivier Rousteing shared what exactly inspired the opening of the Balmain Los Angeles Flagship. Olivier says,

“Los Angeles has always been this incredible source of dreams and inspirations. Pop culture actually made me fall in love with the city even before I had set foot inside it! Later, when Los Angeles became more than just the setting of movies and songs. It ended up inspiring me even more.

My California friends introduced me to the singular lifestyle. Relaxed glamour and exhilarating openness, diversity and freedom that one finds there; and, of course, in my collections. So, in many ways coming to LA is almost as much as a homecoming as the opening of a new flagship.”

Moreover, West over the years has turned his attention to couture. Thus, bringing the fusion full circle.
