#Oscars for the final farewell to 12 years of How to Train Your Dragon & my Berkian Warrior Queen Astrid,” Ferrera wrote.

"Tonight, I bring my own warrior ancestors with me, the indigenous Lenca tribe of Honduras," she continued.

In the photo, Ferrera is wearing a maroon dress with a gold headpiece which is similar to Lencan headpieces while also cradling her baby bump.
