Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong’o And Others At ‘Black Panther’ Premiere

Stars pulled out all the stops for Black Panther‘s world premiere!

The Disney and Marvel movie had its big night on Monday, rolling out a purple carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Many of the film’s stars turned up, including Lupita Nyong’o, Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira, Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordon, Daniel Kaluuya, Sterling K. Brown and Letitia Wright, and they looked just as regal as the ground they walked on.

Nyong’o (Nakia) stunned in the evening’s most glamorous look, clearly adhering to the night’s royal dress code in a jaw-dropping purple custom Versace number with a plunging neckline and bejeweled chest piece. She paired the stunning frock with a sky-high narrow bun, gold starburst earrings and a plum lip.

“Tonight is the night at last,” she said.

The 34-year-old actress also noted that with Black Panther came “a deep sense of responsibility,” because there has “been nothing like it” before, even with the other movies in the Marvel canon.

“It’s like you’re like the first to do something like this on this level, so, yeah, it’s going to be something you feel challenged by because there’s no rule book for it,” she explained.
