'Prada cheerleaders!': Lupita Nyong'o and stylist pay homage to her glamorous Oscars gown by sporting matching $85 T-shirts

She was a Prada princess at the Academy Awards on Sunday, arriving in an elegant blue gown that had Hollywood buzzing.
Proud of her designer statement, Lupita Nyong'o teamed up with her stylist Micaela Erlanger to support Miuccia Prada on Tuesday.
'Prada cheerleaders,' Erlanger posted on Instagram along with a snap of the two sporting LPD Miuccia T-shirts - priced at $85 each - whilst camped out on a plane.

With the Oscar creation earning the Kenyan superstar - who won Best Supporting Actress for her role in 12 Years A Slave - a place on the Best Dressed list, it's no wonder why she chose to pay homage to the Italian designer.
Lupita, 31, had said she chose her ice blue Prada gown because blue reminds her of home in Kenya.
'I wanted to have a sense of home with me,' she told AP Live on the Oscar red carpet.

The star added that the gown was meant to evoke Champagne bubbles, which surely was the case after earning such the prestigious honour.
During her acceptance speech, she stole the hearts of the audience by saying, 'No matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid.'
Following a weekend of celebrations, Lupita was seen jetting out of Los Angeles International Airport on Monday.

With good reason, the star - who also wont the Independent Film Sprirt award on Saturday for her role in 12 Years A Slave - couldn't stop smiling.
Mexico-born Lupita, who was heading home to Brooklyn, New York, looked elegant in a selection of glamorous gowns during her stay in LA.
And she looked equally chic in her travelling ensemble - a light grey tailored jacket over a white T-shirt, black skinny jeans and black boots. 
She added a splash of colour with a large red Miu Miu handbag, which she slung over one shoulder.
