LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Lupita Nyong'o channels Enrique Iglesias in a preview clip for Wednesday's episode of Spike's hit music competition series, Lip Sync Battle.

The clip, released Tuesday, features Nyong'o dancing and shaking her hips while rocking a flower-printed black dress as she mouths along to lyrics from Iglesias' 2014 Spanish-language hit "Bailando" featuring Gente de Zona.

Co-hosts LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen along with Nyong'o's opponent Regina Hall can be seen dancing along to the Star Wars star as she mimics the lyrics perfectly.

Hall, according to People magazine, will be performing the Weeknd's hit single "Earned It" from Fifty Shades of Grey.

Nyong'o has been hyping up the face-off on social media recently, calling out Hall and sharing her preparation for her performance.

"In war, it's not about who is right, it's about who is LEFT! Here we go, @morereginahall!" Nyong'o wrote on Instagram alongside a promotional poster for the upcoming episode.
