The "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever [1]" film has brought major excitement to fans everywhere, with the premiere rollouts consistently leaving fans in awe of the cast [2] and their red carpet style.
At the Hollywood premiere [3] on Oct. 26, new parents [4] Rihanna [5] and A$AP Rocky made an iconic red carpet comeback in Rick Owens [6] (yet another coordinated style moment [7] for the duo), with the "Lift Me Up [8]" 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 [9], who plays Queen Ramonda [10] in the film, was styled by Jennifer Austin [11] 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 [12], with Halle in a corseted dress from Australian courtier Maticevski and Chlöe in a custom sequined gown by her godmother, Shermay Joh [13].
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 [14] 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 [15], also rocked a standout "hair chandelier [16]," 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 [17], respectively.
Danai Gurira [18] 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 [19], 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 [20], drawing inspiration from Afrofuturism.
