The "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" film has brought major excitement to fans everywhere, with the premiere rollouts consistently leaving fans in awe of the cast and their red carpet style.

At the Hollywood premiere on Oct. 26, new parents Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made an iconic red carpet comeback in Rick Owens (yet another coordinated style moment for the duo), with the "Lift Me Up" singer rocking a sequined mermaid dress with custom Giuseppe Zanotti mules and Rocky in an oversize jacket with matching pants. Meanwhile, fashion trailblazer Angela Bassett, who plays Queen Ramonda in the film, was styled by Jennifer Austin in a pleated, peplum, purple metallic Moschino dress with glitter-pink platforms from Le Silla and statement jewels from Reza and Gismondi 1754. Sisters Chlöe and Halle Bailey arrived in sultry black ensembles, with Halle in a corseted dress from Australian courtier Maticevski and Chlöe in a custom sequined gown by her godmother, Shermay Joh.

The Nov. 3 premiere in London also delivered an array of head-turning looks, featuring appearances by Cynthia Erivo and British supermodel Jourdan Dunn. While there was no competition for best dressed, it's clear that Lupita Nyong'o led the night in a dazzling black-and-silver Alexander McQueen gown, decorated with embellishments in captivating swirls, accompanied by Stuart Weitzman shoes, a gold Jimmy Choo clutch, and diamond jewelry from De Beers. The 39-year-old star, who plays Nakia, also rocked a standout "hair chandelier," shaped into a magnificent halo. Erivo and Dunn both opted for color in a striking yellow floral coat dress from Erdem and a ruched gown from emerging brand Standing Ground, respectively.

Danai Gurira and Nigerian filmmaker Adunni Ade wore cultural designs for the grand-finale premiere in Lagos, Nigeria, on Nov. 6. Gurira, who plays Okoye, wore a gold bustier and ruffled midi pencil skirt from Ghanaian brand Christie Brown, completed with a white headscarf to match. Meanwhile, Ade chose a custom African-print gown featuring a black corset and cape by celebrity fashion stylist Anjy Luminee, drawing inspiration from Afrofuturism.

Ahead, take a moment to appreciate all of the groundbreaking looks from the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" premieres. The movie is out in theaters this Friday, Nov. 11.
