The cast of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” were out in full force at the film’s world premiere held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
Lupita Nyong’o, who plays Nakia in the film, was a vision in white at the star-studded premiere. The Academy Award-winning actress looked absolutely breathtaking in a knotted one-shoulder dress by Balmain. The top of the garment included a risky cutout and continued throughout the center of the skirt. The gown also featured a modest train with a tapered hemline.

To further elevate the moment, the “Us” star accessorized with a sea shell headband and a slew of diamond jewels from De Beers. For glam, Nyong’o went with a silver smokey eye and her signature matte red lip.
Unfortunately the angle of her dress didn’t allow for a peak at her footwear choice, but it would be no surprise if Nyong’o completed her look with height-defying platform heels, statement-making sandals or pointy printed pumps.
