Attendees at the Critics' Choice Awards on Sunday were in the presence of a real-life goddess, and that goddess was Lupita Nyong'o. The star, whose role in Us nabbed her a best actress nomination [1], walked the blue carpet looking like absolute royalty, per usual. Wearing a brown Michael Kors gown [2], Nyong'o amped up her look with some seriously gorgeous hair and makeup.

Celebrity hairstylist Vernon Francois used Matrix products to help Nyong'o put her penchant for bold hair accessories [3] front and center, giving her an updo complete with golden wiring that fittingly mimicked a halo or crown and matched her metallic jewelry. The shiny accents didn't stop there, as the actress also opted for shimmery bronze eye shadow and liner, in addition to a bold red lip.

Ahead, see all the photos of Nyong'o at the Critics' Choice Awards to admire her queen-worthy hairstyle and elegant dress.
