We are experiencing a bit of cognitive dissonance as we stare at Lupita N'yongo in her bright yellow contact lenses. On one hand, we are mesmerized and can't look away from her piercing, golden gaze. On the other, we're paralyzed with fear.

No stranger to bold beauty looks, the actress showed up with the bright irises for a taping of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, where she promoted her new horror film, Us. "80's rockstar who's also a vampire...but make it fashun 💥💥💥👹🎬 tonight," her makeup artist for the look, Nick Barose, captioned his photo of her.

See Nyong'o's entire look ahead.
