Lupita Nyong'o in McQueen

This is so striking, and bonus points for the fact that she still pops against a busy backdrop AND a dark carpet. Her makeup is luminous, too.

So neat.

Danai Gurira in Elie Saab

There is a lot of pretty workmanship here that's lost to the winds of wackitude. I saw SO many other dresses in this collection that would've made her look less like she is a very chilly present. You want sheer? This one has some, but it's not distracting! You want sculpture? Try this! Drama? MAY I PRESENT THIS CAPE. Etc.

Danai Gurira

But look what she pulled out for the afterparty! I LOVE this. More of this please.

Letitia Wright in Prada

This is really wonderful on her -- the best thing Prada has done in a while. She has seemed really excited during this whole promo tour, in a way that makes me wonder if the ages-ago rumors of Shuri taking over Black Panther are going to come true. (If you know, don't tell! I haven't read any reviews and I don't know if it's leaked.)

Michaela Coel in custom Riccardo Tisci

Tisci got the boot from Burberry, so I guess we'll see more of his own stuff for a while. This is not making a convincing argument that we NEED his stuff.

Florence Kasumba

Well, OBVIOUSLY this was going to tickle my fancy bone.

Susan Kelechi Watson

She doesn't have anything on her IMDb right now, so I hope someone hustles her to my screen again really soon, as Beth was THE BEST on This Is Us. I'm happy to see her here, although her skirt is molting.

Cynthia Erivo in Erdem

Erdem loves a floral explosion, but often they're way too twee for me. This is perfect.

Winston Duke

This kind of looks like something DJ Khaled would design for, like, Macy's. It's not good or bad, it just... is.

Winston Duke

Why didn't he ALSO come out of the gate with what he wore to the afterparty? So slick.

Maya Jama

The mod feel to this is neat. For a while I thought maybe that was flesh-tone fabric, but no. It is... a very intense neckline. EDIT: Apparently it is and my eyes just don’t know what they’re seeing anymore (closeup on the next slide, which may help).

'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' film premiere, London, UK - 03 Nov 2022

I can't decide what's pancaking her more, the dress or the necklace. It's like a paperweight for boobs.

Sir Ozwald Boateng

Dapper, as usual.

Stormzy

I know I'm boring, but I can't get on board with the jackets that are made to look like you buttoned them wrong.

Clara Amfo

Is there a remote that expands and contracts the elastic here?

Martin Freeman

I repeatedly, routinely forget that he is in this movie. I did it again and had to add him right before I finished this. Sorry, Martin. You look fine!

Wakanda Goes To London

With flashy results.
