Actor Nyong'o eschewed the traditional red carpet gown for the Tony Awards, instead choosing a black tux and a silver cast of her own torso. Created by Pakistani artist and fashion designer Misha Japanwala.

'[Japanwala's] work is rooted in the rejection and deconstruction of external shame attached to one’s body,' Nyong'o wrote on Instagram. 'In her artistic process, she creates a realistic and true record of a person’s body as an act of resistance and celebration, and an insistence on being allowed to exist freely in our bodies.'
