Lupita, who has become a firm fashion
favourite over award season, said she chose the gown as it reminded her
of her native Kenya.
'This is Prada and it was made for me,' she told E!'s Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre. 'It's a blue that reminds me of the Nairobi sky.'
The 31-year-old actress is nominated for her role as Patsey in Steve McQueen movie 12 Years A Slave in her first major role after acting school.
'I've just felt so blessed that my first job after school had got me so much recognition,' she told Seacrest. 'I didn't grow up watching the Oscars but it's something I came to understand what a big deal it was when I was in college.'
