Lupita Nyong'o took to Instagram to share photos from her picturesque vacation in the Dominican Republic [1] this week. The Oscar winner, who currently stars in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, posted a few snaps while basking in the sun and jumping in the waves wearing a sleek red one-piece swimsuit [2]. She captioned the photo, "#PiscesPowerCharge," making mention of her 33rd birthday on March 1 [3]. And since it's only the beginning of January, we'll likely get to see a lot more of Lupita during this year's award season.

The actress's Force Awakens castmate Daisy Ridley also made the most of their downtime recently with her own relaxing beach day in Miami with her mom [4]. Keep reading to see Lupita's vacation snaps, then relive 32 times she was a perfect human being [5].
