One Dress a Day Challenge
June: Weddings
Coming 2 America / Jermaine Fowler as Lavelle and Nomzamo Mbatha as Mirembe
This gown gives the Marry Me wedding dress a run for its money in sheer size: the train was 15 feet long, and the whole dress weighed 83 pounds. Mbatha said, "I felt like a such princess, the dress was so gorgeous, and I was told 'OK, try to move.' And I literally could not move." The crew set the train up on three little carts, but then they had a problem with the train moving in unexpected ways and pushing Jermaine Fowler out of shots. So finally they added some wires to keep the whole thing moving in a straight line.
The gown itself is made of a gorgeous orangey-red ankara fabric. Mirembe also has a red veil attached to a colorful beaded fascinator, a multi-strand ruby necklace, and ropes of cowrie shells in her hair.
Lavelle looks equally impressive in white and cream, with embroidery on the sleeves and back. His outfit is topped off with a jaunty crown.
Costumes for this film were designed by Ruth E. Carter.

These are the earrings Black Panther costume designer Ruth E. Carter wore with that stunnnning yellow and fuchsia gown (that she designed, BTW) to the 2023 Oscars.
They look like they’re little handwoven baskets but they’re actually 3D printed pieces by artist/engineer/architect Julia Koerner. She made the isicola crowns and shoulder mantles worn by Angela Bassett’s Queen Ramonda in Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
There are only 100 pairs of these art pieces. (Yes, they are art. Fight me.) Check out @JK3Dofficial on Instagram. They’re doing some really wonderful things with sustainability and design and fashion.

i can always count on Spike Lee to capture Queen Angela Bassett in the perfect frame and the perfect light.
As he has said about her,
So regal, so majestic
like hell, yes. she is. that protest scene lives in my head rent free, sir.
