Lupita wore her hair up in a chic top bun with just a touch of crimson hues swiped across her lips. 

‘We found out there was a purple carpet after we had chosen the dress, but it was kind of a perfect reason to go with the gown; I think it’s a new addition to the Lupita rainbow!’ Micaela told The Hollywood Reporter.
