Lovely in lemon! Lupita Nyong'o teams elegant dress with biker jacket for radio appearance in New York

Hot on the publicity trail and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as well as starring in her latest stage play, Lupita Nyong'o has got her hands full.

But despite a hectic schedule the actress still managed to look glamorous when she paid a visit to the SiriusXM studios in New York on Wednesday.

The Oscar winner was stunning in a lemon yellow dress paired with a black leather biker jacket.

She wore her hair in a funky mohican style and kept her make-up minimal.

Lupita wore a pair of monochrome and patterned pointed shoes which finished off her ensemble.

The 32-year-old Oscar winner has been hitting the ground running with promotional duties for Star Wars, in which she plays Maz Kanata, a space pirate who has lived for over a thousand years.

The part places huge importance on eyes.

She has said of the role: 'As an actor for films, your eyes are a lot of the way you communicate anyway.'

Lupita added to Entertainment Weekly: 'So it was definitely a gift to have that be the means to her magic as a motion-capture character.'

Director J.J. Abrams said of Maz: 'I had some specific ideas about how she would work and what she would do.

'I had this pitch about these goggles that she wore. Her eyes are an important aspect of her character, and you’ll see how it plays out.'

Lupita, who won an Oscar for her turn in 12 Years A Slave said she got caught up in the whirlwind of Hollywood after her success.

She told Essence magazine: 'I had talked so much about who I was that I'd forgotten who I was.'

'After 12 Years A Slave and the quote-unquote meteoric rise, I felt like there was a moment where I was suffering from whiplash,' Lupita confessed.

The Kenyan beauty has spent the past few months in the off-Broadway play, Eclipsed which was written by playwright, Danai Gurira.

The smash hit just wrapped on Sunday but will move to Broadway in February with Lupita attached after a nearly sold-out run.

Lupita stars in the play which is set in 2003 and 'illustrates how women and girls are usually the first and most horrifically abused victims of such warfare,' the New York Times reported.

'I didn't grow up seeing African women onstage very often, much less African women in African stories,' she told Essence.

'I was in love with the world Danai created.'
