In addition to being a stand out piece on the red carpet, the 33-year-old proved that the stylish skirt was also a lot of fun to wear. In a Instagram video uploaded by the star's friend, Rebecca Sides Capellan, Lupita can be seen shaking her hips from side to side as the skirt 'dances' with her.

The Star Wars: The Force Awakens actress was joined on the red carpet, at Disney's El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, by her brother Peter, who looked dapper in a dark blue suit.

The Jungle Book is slated for release on April 15, almost 50 years after the opening of the original 1967 Disney animation movie. The live-action reboot has been in the works for several years, with the search for Mowgli beginning in 2013 and taking casting directors to cities all over the world.

For the Mexican-Kenyan actress, she was a big fan of the original. "Jungle Book was definitely a part of my childhood," she shared with Entertainment Tonight. "I loved Mowgli and the freedom with which he seemed to live his life. He'd swing from vine to vine and he had all these cool animal friends and he went on an adventure to find out where he belonged. And I just really identified with that and wished that I could experience such freedom."
