Black Panther comes to theaters February 16, but the world premiere in Los Angeles was last night and it was everything! Chadwick Boseman brought his regal energy, Angela Bassett charmed with her age-less beauty, Lupita Nyong’o stunned the crowd with her luminous presence–the entire red (actually purple) carpet was a royal African slay.

Beyond the talented cast of Black Panther, much of Black Hollywood showed up and showed out to support the film. Find some of your favs in the gallery.

 

Chadwick Boseman

 

I love this look. The print is fantastic and sophisticated and the simple gold cuff is just the right accent.

 

Angela Bassett

 

The color is stunning – she demolished this look, seriously !! The simple makeup is the perfect complement to this look and the hair is young fresh and free! Love love LOVE!!

Lupita Nyong’o

 

The dress, the hair, and the jeweled harness are all beautiful on her – it’s nice to have this risk taking energy back in the carpet.

Michael B. Jordan

 

It can be hard to pull off a fresh take on that classic double breasted suit but he does it well. But truthfully he always gets it right!

 

Danai Gurira

She effortlessly pulls off the hair – and the piece in her hair looks great. But the glam and this dress is just not working for me.

Sterling K. Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathe

He looks stunning. Simple, fresh, tailored. I love her traditional print and the hair, but it all seems a bit too casual here – especially next to him.

 

DeVon Franklin and Meagan Good

They both look nice – simple with just a bit of playfulness form his suit jacket and her separates and skirt slit.

David Oyelowo

Love this traditional look and the risk of the bright pants together!

 

Issa Rae

Glam hair and dress all works super well together. Bright and fun, but still glamorous with a little edge.

 Ryan Coogler and Zinzi Evans

As a couple, they’re styled well together. He could use some better tailoring and perhaps a different hairstyle for her – something a little more on pair with the dress. But overall nice!

Chloe X Halle

Love the risk and it pays off. Love how they took a style and each made it their own on dress and hair. Super fun!

 

Janelle Monae

Everything about this is stunning. The crown, the collar, the hair and make up is perfect. He dress is beautiful and playful with the asymmetry of the sleeve colors but the simple body of the gown is the perfect foundation for all of this.

 

Donald Glover

Love the sharpness of this bright color and the embroidery on the jacket. I’m just wishing he would have paired it with something a little bit more complementary underneath that doesn’t compete against it so much!

Yara Shahidi

Stunning! Perfectly in theme for the event, the hair makeup and dress all work together perfectly. Loving the simplicity of no statement jewelry against the hair and the dress.

 

Tessa Thompson

It’s pretty – and who doesn’t love a good black lace, but it just feels off for the event.

Letitia Wright

Stunning dress and the hair and makeup frames her beautifully.

Miles Brown

Love the mixing of traditional and red-carpet prints and materials on him. Plus the navy/brown/black combination looks great.

 

Florence Kasumba

She pulls of the short cut super well and the make up highlights her face beautifully. The dress is great but the bag is so distracting here!

 

Amber Riley

The outfit is super flattering on her and the skirt is beautiful, but the hair is just coming off a bit too young for such a sophisticated look otherwise.

Simone and Dorian Missick

Super glam and they both wear it well, especially together. The idea of the asymmetrical look against her single slit was nice but I just don’t think this was the right pairing.

 

Snoop Dogg

Loving the subtle color combination here with the jacket and shoes. But this look is begging for tailoring!

Marsai Martin

It all works so well. The hair is beautiful here – one of my favorites overall for the night for sure. Elegant without seeming out-of-age for her.

 

DeWanda Wise

I appreciate the risk of the jeweled headpiece. But it’s altogether too much bling against the sequin dress and metallic silver pumps and bright lip.

 

Forest Whitaker

Nice, just a bit underwhelming in comparison to some of the other looks of tonight.

Storm Reid

Love the hair and makeup here. But I’m not sure about the outfit. It seems a bit too old for her and not sure it works against the glam.
