Ciara's Black Panther Costume Is So Perfect, Even Lupita Had to Bow Down

Nov 2 2018 - 7:00am

As soon as Black Panther [1] hit theaters in February and did wonders for the culture [2], we knew it'd inspire some of the best Halloween costumes [3] this year. Lucky for us, Ciara came through with one of the best Black Panther [4]-inspired getups when she dressed as the philanthropic, butt-kicking heroine Nakia [5] at the Bacardí "Liberate Your Spirits" Halloween [6] party. The "Level Up" [7]singer posted a few photos and videos of her in character, serving looks à la Wakanda. She donned a gleaming black, red, and gold structured suit and bodice with a pair of thigh-high boots. To top it all off, she rocked a hairstyle similar to Nakia's gorgeous knotted coiffure [8].

Her husband, Russell Wilson, dressed as Black Panther himself, and her two children, Sienna and Future, were mini versions of Nakia and Black Panther. Ciara also posted a video of her doing her best model walk with Kendrick Lamar and SZA's song "All the Stars" from the film's soundtrack [9] playing in the background. The outfit was so on-point that Lupita Nyong'o, the real Nakia in the MCU, reposted one of Ciara's videos [10] with the caption, "My Wakanda Knots have unraveled!"

The entire ensemble has us so mesmerized that there's only one thing left to say: WAKANDA FOREVER. Look on to see Ciara work it as one of the best Marvel characters to hit the big screen.
