Lupita Nyong’o got into the Halloween spirit to shoot the new Off-Broadway play Teeth on Wednesday night in New York City.

The 12 Years a Slave actress – who confirmed her split from Joshua Jackson earlier this month – accessorized with an elaborate gold neckpiece that accentuated her elegant neck.
The Black Panther star, 41, added a witchy white hairpiece and long, pointed white nails to her ensemble. She also wore plain white contact lenses for a super creepy effect.
The new musical, which has been called ‘a coming-of-rage comedy’, is based on the 2007 horror film of the same name.

The play’s synopsis reads: ‘Dawn O’Keefe is an evangelical Christian teen with a powerful secret that even she doesn’t understand: when men violate her, her body bites back. That’s not a metaphor.
‘Based on the cult film of the same name, ‘Teeth’ is a fierce, compelling and brutally entertaining new musical, crackling with unstoppable desire and age-old rage – a dark comedy that evokes the legend of a girl whose sexual curse is also her salvation.’
Lupita’s culture night comes almost a month after she confirmed her split from Doctor Odyssey star Joshua Jackson, 46.
The Wild Robot star said she isn’t currently dating because she simply doesn’t have eyes for anyone other than her cat Yoyo.
‘My love for my cat is unique. If I’m ever so lucky to be in a romantic relationship again, it will be thanks to him,” she said in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK.
“I was ready to close that door, lock it, and lock it. He has kept my heart open.”
She got the tabby cat a year ago and posted about it on Instagram. “Introducing my new companion, Yoyo!” she wrote.
‘I have traditionally been afraid of cats, but recently when my life immediately changed, a little voice whispered to me that it was time to embrace change and new possibilities.
“So a dear friend (shout out Palmer Hefferan!) held my hand through the process and took me to my first animal shelters.

“I fostered Yoyo from the Best Friends Adoption Center, and after three days I knew I couldn’t give him up.”
She then listed all the things – both practical and humorous – she had learned about her feline companion so far.
‘I’ve never understood people whose phones were full of photos and videos of their pets – now I’m one of those people! It may seem like I saved Yoyo, but in reality Yoyo saves me,” she concluded.
In Harper’s article, Lupita also said that she considers herself a “childless cat lady” and that she will be casting her vote for Kamala Harris.
