ruth e carter always putting shuri in high collars tops + chokers vs. leittia always having her collar bones out is very facinating to me in terms of character costuming vs celebrity styling and what story they're trying to tell with her silhouette ,,,like idk ive been thinking about it a lot. also she's hot and im gay

One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Weddings

Coming 2 America / Jermaine Fowler as Lavelle and Nomzamo Mbatha as Mirembe

This gown gives the Marry Me wedding dress a run for its money in sheer size: the train was 15 feet long, and the whole dress weighed 83 pounds. Mbatha said, "I felt like a such princess, the dress was so gorgeous, and I was told 'OK, try to move.' And I literally could not move." The crew set the train up on three little carts, but then they had a problem with the train moving in unexpected ways and pushing Jermaine Fowler out of shots. So finally they added some wires to keep the whole thing moving in a straight line.

The gown itself is made of a gorgeous orangey-red ankara fabric. Mirembe also has a red veil attached to a colorful beaded fascinator, a multi-strand ruby necklace, and ropes of cowrie shells in her hair.

Lavelle looks equally impressive in white and cream, with embroidery on the sleeves and back. His outfit is topped off with a jaunty crown.

Costumes for this film were designed by Ruth E. Carter.

Congrats to Ruth E. Carter for winning Best Costume Design!!!

These are the earrings Black Panther costume designer Ruth E. Carter wore with that stunnnning yellow and fuchsia gown (that she designed, BTW) to the 2023 Oscars.

They look like they’re little handwoven baskets but they’re actually 3D printed pieces by artist/engineer/architect Julia Koerner. She made the isicola crowns and shoulder mantles worn by Angela Bassett’s Queen Ramonda in Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

There are only 100 pairs of these art pieces. (Yes, they are art. Fight me.) Check out @JK3Dofficial on Instagram. They’re doing some really wonderful things with sustainability and design and fashion.

i can always count on Spike Lee to capture Queen Angela Bassett in the perfect frame and the perfect light.

As he has said about her,

So regal, so majestic

like hell, yes. she is. that protest scene lives in my head rent free, sir.

ok but like, has anyone else noticed that in the beginning of BP:WF, Shuri’s wardrobe is mostly white and at the end of the movie she’s wearing black???

In traditional African culture, white is the color used to symbolize death and grief for funerals

and then, at the very end of the film when everything is over, Shuri is wearing black while burning the funeral clothes.

I think it’s really cool how ever detail in this movie symbolizes Shuri’s grief and development as a character, and the clothes show that. Big fuckin props to Ruth E. Carter
