Lupita Nyong'o is in love...with a print!

Never one to play it safe, the star of Star Wars: The Force Awakens turned heads when she walked the red carpet at the 21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium in L.A. Sunday. The actress modeled a floor-length, floral print gown that featured dramatic black stripes. The daring design came from Elie Saab's Pre-Fall 2015 collection, which was unveiled in December 2014. Nyong'o, 31, completed her look with Sophia Webster heels and Art-Deco-inspired Fred Leighton diamond earrings.

Nyong'o and Jared Leto, 43, co-presented the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries to Mark Ruffalo for The Normal Heart. Ruffalo was asleep on the East Coast, as he had to report to set  Monday morning for Now You See Me: The Second Act. Nyong'o and Leto accepted on his behalf.

After the ceremony ended, Nyong'o changed up her look—slightly. When she arrived at The Weinstein Company and Netflix's 2015 SAG Awards after-party, held at Sunset Tower in L.A., the Jungle Book star wore a fit-and-flare Elie Saab dress that was reminiscent of her red carpet look, thanks to its striking floral pattern and stripe detail. Perhaps coincidentally, the dresses appear side-by-side in the look book!

At the event, Nyong'o partied with a handful of Orange Is the New Black stars, including Danielle Brooks and Lorraine Toussaint. She also took an Instagram selfie with Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series winner Uzo Aduba, writing, "Congratulations to my super-talented, sweet sweet friend, @uzoaduba for taking home the Actor tonight. Very well-deserved. @sagawards #oitnb."
