The Buzz: Black Panther Royalty
A bold purple carpet was rolled out for the world premiere
of the film took place in Hollywood last night at Dolby Theatre, and the
reviews were gushing. Viewers fell for Black
Panther’s performances, story, costumes, direction and the cinematic
realization of the African Kingdom of Wakanda.
Black viewers were elated with the representation that many
have never seen before. With positive representations of black women and a
whole cast of black people being portrayed as reality, The Grio editor’s point that there will be an upcoming generation
of kids seeing superheroes that look like them.
BLACK PANTHER is incredible, kinetic, purposeful. A superhero movie about why representation & identity matters, and how tragic it is when those things are denied to people. The 1st MCU movie about something real; Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger had me weeping and he’s the VILLAIN— jen yamato (@jenyamato) January 30, 2018
Black Panther is the best MCU movie ever. I was blown away from start to finish and I’m not even being biased. This was by far the best marvel movie to date. Thank you, Ryan Coogler! #BlackPanther pic.twitter.com/8Qh0hlOYAb— Geeks of Color (@GeeksOfColor) January 30, 2018
The Black Panther carpet,
who’s invitation made a request for royal attire, was just as expressive and
extravagant as the movie it was leading to. With vibrant colors and
eye-catching patterns, stars Lupita Nyong’o and Angela Bassett shined in bright
garb paired with gold accessories. Mike Colter and David Oyelowo joined guests
stepping out in colorful dashikis.
Costume designer and creator of the Afrofuturistic outfits
featured throughout Black Panther, Ruth E. Carter was more than pleased and proud
of what she witnessed on the purple carpet.
Twitter-watchers could hardly handle the royalty that graced
the carpet.
