The Black Panther star stepped out at the National Board of Review Awards in NYC on January 9 in a modest yet striking Balmain high-neck crop top and maxi skirt — a look that struck the perfect note in accordance with #WhyWeWearBlack. Her look was stylish and glamorous, but not overly flashy.

Nyong’o has been outspoken about her support of the Time’s Up movement — the logo is still her avatar on Instagram, where she posted a pic of her dress — and her stylist, Micaela Erlanger confirmed that the choice was intentional to continue the symbolic gesture from last weekend’s movement of solidarity. The stylist posted a snapshot of her client to her Instagram account and hashtagged the pic #TimesUp.

The Oscar winner kept the rest of her look subdued, yet chic in accordance with her outfit. Celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose used Lancome Custom GLow Drops in Bronze Glow to give the actress her otherworldly glow and dabbed Lancome L’absolue Rouge in 399 Secrete to give her perfect pout a polished and refined berry lip. Hair guru Vernon Francois then created an equally elegant braided pony for the star that perfectly complemented her hair and makeup.
