Black Panther: Lupita Nyong'o leads the charge of stylish celebs at star-studded premiere

Lupita Nyong'o at the Black Panther premiere

A host of actors including Angela Bassett and Lupita Nyong'o stormed the purple carpet for the long-awaited premiere

Lupita Nyong'o commanded attention on the purple carpet of the Black Panther premiere in Los Angeles on Monday night. The Oscar-winning actress lead the charge of stylish celebrities at the star-studded premiere.

The 34-year-old beauty wore a deep plum-colored, custom-made Altelier Versace gown complete with an ornate jewel caged harness. Her stylist Micaela Erlanger told The Hollywood Reporter:

"We found out there was a purple carpet after we had chosen the dress, but it was kind of a perfect reason to go with the gown; I think it’s a new addition to the Lupita rainbow! There’s definitely a nod to her warrior character Nakia here, without being costumey,' she said. 'It’s a really glamorous take on our vision and it’s very fierce, certainly."

Fresh from a powerful presentation at the Grammys, Janelle Monae rocked a show-stopping black Christian Siriano gown with billowing royal blue and white sleeves.

Styled by Alexandra Mandelkorn, Janelle Monae wore a beautiful African kufi on top of her side-swept locks.

Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman looked dapper wearing a silky black Emporio Armani jacket with intricate golden floral patterns. He also wore a pair of black trousers and shiny black shoes as he smiled on the purple carpet ahead of the premiere.
