We know we sound like a broken record, but Lupita Nyong'o looks perfect again. 

This is starting to get ridiculous! The SAG Award winner (among a now long list of accolades) appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Wednesday evening in another flawless fashion choice.

This time, we're pretty sure she's the only celeb who could pull off this crazy grape combo.

Imagine it on a less perfectly built beauty. It would either look like a weird '70s suit or a Giant Purple People Eater costume.

But is the solid jewel-tone trend getting a little bit overdone?

Yes, Luipta rocked a gorgeous beaded neckline for the SAG Awards. But before that—and since then—it's been nothing but solids: red, white, tan and now grape to be exact. Is that because she's less adventurous than we assume or because she knows what works for her figure?

We know, who are we to point out a fake flaw in an otherwise perfect fashion run? Can't we appreciate the beauty and not dwell on the potential downfall?

No. Sorry. We've tried but we can't.
