Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth Carter talks about returning to Wakanda, creating a new Black Panther suit, and clothing an underwater world.
andSo when it came to dressing Queen Ramonda again, Carter was more than ready. “There’s a wonderful sisterhood that has formed,” the costume designer says of her relationship with Bassett. “I know she has the ability to pull off any of my wildest dreams, whatever they may be.” And for, Carter’s dream was to re-introduce the Queen as someone who is strong and intentional with her outfit choices.
Many of Bassett’s looks came in-house from Carter’s shop in Atlanta, but she also tasked India-based designer J.J. Valaya to create some of Ramonda’s pieces. “Everything in Wakanda was kind of upgraded from the last film, including Ramonda’s stature, but especially her clothes,” Carter says.Danai Gurira’s general takes on more of a central role in, meaning there’s more of a chance to explore her character’s style outside of her usual Dora Milaje uniform.
Carter, Coogler, and the rest of the crew worked closely with Mayan historians and experts to portray and represent the culture accurately through the Talokanil. It was important to determine how this tribe of people would wear their vibranium, and Carter decided to represent it with a blue stone color, seen in the jewelry worn by the Talokanil and Namor.
“We spoke with historians in West Africa specifically, and they told us that in Africa, the color for funerals is usually white or red,” Carter says. The costume designer already felt that red had a life of its own inwhether it’s the blue of the Border Tribe or a royal purple for the monarchs. Now, white has taken on a life of its own, representing “purity,” as Carter describes it. Following his funeral, it will always be connected to the late King T’Challa as well.
