On March 5, 2017,  the Oscar Award winning actress and Kenyan activist celebrated her 34th birthday with friends, all of them dressed up as their favourite character from the movie "Coming to America".

Some of the stars who attended the private affair include her best friend Danai Gurira (who was dressed as the betrothed bride of Prince Akeem) and Chadwick Boseman.

Lupita Nyong’o and her friends perfectly portrayed the characters from the epic movie.
