Lupita Nyong’o, the Oscar winner for Black Panther and 12 Years a Slave, recently caught Pakistani Twitter by storm after photos of her at a local wedding went viral. The star, who is in Karachi for artist Misha Japanwala’s wedding, has been dedicated to sharing her Karachi experience with her Instagram fans, releasing sneak peeks from the wedding as well as photographs and videos of her around the city.
The actor shared photos with the bride and groom on her Instagram stories, revealing that she knows the couple from her college days. Lupita wrote, “YSD [Yale School of Drama] class of 2012. We’ve stuck together. Very proud of us!”
She shared photos of herself dressed in traditional desi attire, including a blush pink Anita Dongre shalwar kameez with a floral print. The actor looked magnificent in the casual outfit, which she paired with a pair of exquisite diamond drop earrings and white tie-up decorated flats.

A blush pink manicure and pedicure, as well as a matching potla, completed the shalwar outfit. The star also posted photos of her hands, which were hennaed in a simple pattern.
In the second set of photos, Lupita was spotted out and about seeing the city in a classic embroidered white and black kurta and matching slacks, with Lupita wearing a black headscarf. The actor stood in front of a tiled wall and captioned one of the photographs, “A Kenyan captured in Karachi.”

Lupita stood with her arms folded in front of a typical decked-out Pakistani bus in another similar shot, with the star describing Pakistan as an “aesthetic force.” She said she’s “feeling the desi vibe” while jamming to music in another video.

Lupita not only posed in front of the bejeweled bus, but she also uploaded footage of herself sitting on the roof of one while exploring the city’s historic districts. The actor was dedicated to experiencing the whole Karachi experience, sharing photos from Empress Market, and having chai at a nearby Dhaba.
She also seemed to be convinced that she adores Pakistan. Lupita went on a tour around Karachi, stopping by TDF Ghar to learn about the city’s history!
She had traveled to attend the wedding of Misha Japanwala, a Pakistani artist famed for her wearable breastplate sculptures, which have been worn by celebrities such as Cardi B and Halsey.
Nyong’o, along with other wedding guests, danced to Ginuwine’s ‘Pony’ during Japanwala’s wedding, according to videos viewed by Images. To protect the privacy of everyone concerned, those films have not been made public and will not be published on this platform.
Nyong’o and Japanwala have yet to post photos from the event, but The Viral Cat, hoping Nyong’o would share some of herself in the pink lehenga choli we think we saw her in!
