Lupita Nyong'o brings her proud mother to the BAFTAs

She preferred to let her mother Dorothy experience the glitz first hand at the 2014 BAFTAs on Sunday.
The 12 Years A Slave actress looked like she was having a great time as she lived it up at the star-studded event in London.

She had reason to smile as she arrived for the thrilling awards spectacle, as she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress and the hotly-contested Rising Star award.
Unfortunately for the 30-year-old actress, she ended up leaving empty-handed after losing out to American Hustle favourite Jennifer Lawrence and 21-year-old British actor Will Poulter respectively.

However 12 Years did fare well overall, as it won the coveted best picture award, with star Chiwetel Ejiofor also scooping best actor.
Lupita did manage to look positively ravishing thanks to her impressive emerald green silk fishtail-hem gown by Christian Dior.
And Delightful Dorothy looked almost as good in a more conservative ensemble of turquoise blazer and complimentary blue maxi-dress.
