African Premiere of 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' Lagos, Nigeria - 06 Nov 2022

This outfit is so neat. I really like that little strip of fabric, almost like stained glass, and kind of wish it had more to do? Then again, it's basically framed by a ruffle, so at least your eye goes straight to it.

Lupita Nyong'o in Vivienne Westwood

Truly gorgeous. Sometimes Westwood gets a little intentionally messy in a way that I realize is her signature, but doesn't always land for me. The precision here is really breathtaking.

Letitia Wright

This is also fabulous. This is their best-dressed premiere yet. I wish Angela Bassett had been able to make it.

Winston Duke

Fierce. And he does also look like he's headed to a martial arts class.

with Ryan Coogler, Tenoch Huerta Mejia

Ryan Coogler apparently found out he has some Yoruba heritage, which he had discussed with Chadwick Boseman, so he said it was a big deal to him to be in Nigeria with this. Tenoch is evidently the villain in the movie?!? Somehow I hadn't seen or heard about him AT ALL -- these premieres can be so big -- but he was pointed out to us on Facebook, and then IMMEDIATELY after that on Twitter, I saw a bunch of tweets from people who were like, "YOU ARE ALL GOING TO LOVE HIM." I went back and looked, and this is the best of his outfits by far, so we got in at a good time. The SHOES.

Winston Duke, Danai Gurira, Ryan Coogler, Lupita Nyong'o, Letitia Wright and Tenoch Huerta Mejía

The ladies all look very stylish here. Tenoch does, too. Winston's set looks... breathable? Actually he looks super comfy, even if the shorts are making me laugh a little. And Ryan Coogler is like, "I did not want to pack more than one fancy outfit. It's fine."

Wakanda Forever Went to Lagos, Too

For the first time!
