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.

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA.
