The Best Fashion Looks From The 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' Premiere

The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever worldwide premiere happened on Wednesday, October 26 in Los Angeles, California, and attracted a ton of top-tier fashion.

October 27, 2022

The official worldwide premiere of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever took place on Wednesday, October 26, 2022, at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California. Hollywood's best and brightest attended the event, including all the main figures from the movie, from Lupita Nyong'o to Danai Gurira to Ryan Coogler. The premiere was bittersweet: with the cast honoring Chadwick Boseman, who died after a four-year battle with colon cancer in 2020.

“#WakandaForever is amazing! Coogler delivered an epic and emotional sequel that is an incredible tribute to Chadwick Boseman’s legacy. Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett and Tenoch Huerta give their all in the roles. This is easily the best movie from phase 4.”

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 11, 2022. And it is already receiving rave reviews online so far.

“#WakandaForever is amazing! Coogler delivered an epic and emotional sequel that is an incredible tribute to Chadwick Boseman’s legacy. Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett and Tenoch Huerta give their all in the roles. This is easily the best movie from phase 4.”

“Black Panther: #WakandaForever is as epic as Marvel sequels get. The story is hugely ambitious & thematically rewarding with gut-wrenching twists and turns throughout. You feel the length but it’s fun, wildly beautiful and has the best credits scene in Marvel history, no contest.”

“#WakandaForever's bigger in scope and scale than #BlackPanther, but its story is also one of Marvel's most intimate and heartfelt. It's definitely a Comic Book Movie, but it’s one that centers grief and the grieving process rather than superheroics and spectacle. Full review soon”

“#WakandaForever was beautiful. Majestic, touching, and funny with plenty marvel magic”

The premiere also saw many fashion-forward actors and actresses grace the red carpet. Here are some of the best looks we saw.
