STYLE

There were all types of #blackgirlmagic on the purple carpet at the Hollywood premiere of Marvel’s Black Panther this past Monday, January 29. The star-studded event included actresses, directors, writers, and more, all in their most royal attire to accompany the theme of the movie. Check out our faves below!

Lupita Nyong'o
Purple is the color of royalty! This Black Panther actress’s skin is glowing under this beautiful sleeveless dress with a gold embezzled armor-like swath to complete the look.

Angela Bassett
Go big, or go home seems to be the theme for Black Panther actress in her big gold earrings, ring and platform heels. Not to mention her beautiful curly tresses, and of course, the fringe jumpsuit!

Issa Rae
Dressed as the goddess she is, Insecure creator and writer shows off her flowy white gown complimented with a pop of ombre metallic paneling. Doesn’t this outfit make you think of the Muses from Hercules?

Tessa Thompson
Check out the beautiful sheer detailing of this top?! The Thor: Ragnarok star is giving us fierce vibes in her head-to-toe all black outfit.

Letitia Wright
Everyone cannot wait to see this beautiful star in theaters when the movie comes out! She plays a 17-year-old sister to T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and is said to be the “smartest person in the world,” Marvel Universe that is. This sleeveless flowy gown gives an illusion that she’s floating!

Black is always in. These singers and Grown-ish actresses show off some skin in these beautiful all black sheer dresses.

Danai Gurira
Another Black Panther star who we’ve all seen in the trailer, ready for battle, puts down her weapon and wears a beautiful pink ruffled gown with perfect bedazzling.
