If the newest Marvel movie Black Panther is as good as its LA premiere, I’m going to run to see it!!! The invitation mentioned a « Royal Attire » dress code, and the guests DE-LI-VE-RED! I’ve always been drawn to African fashion because of the richness of the fabrics, prints and colours… Needless to say, I was in fashion heaven!
THE LADIES
Lupita Nyong’o in Atelier Versace
I have to start with Lupita Nyong’o who looked beyond amazing in Atelier Versace. I mean that gold jewelled harness over the deep purple ethereal dress was nothing less than royal!
Angela Bassett in Naeem Khan
Angela was one of my favourites of the night! I love the bright colour the playful side of the fringes and the stunning collar. Plus, the accessories are perfect!
Janelle Monae in Christian Siriano
The dress is very interesting, especially with the two-toned sleeves, but it’s the accessories that kill me! The colourful multi-beaded choker by Erickson Beamon is absolutely stunning and the embroidered hat is the perfect topper!
Yara Shahidi in Etro
I wasn’t as crazy about this dress, but she still made it work, and I adore the hair and natural makeup. She’s really beaming!
