This might be one of the toughest best-dressed lists we have ever put together, considering all the celebrity attendees brought their style A-game to the Marvel superhero film’s European premiere in London in February 2018.

1. Lupita Nyong’o Dazzles in a Crystal-Encrusted Balmain Gown and Custom Alexandre Birman Sandals

Lupita Nyong’o looked phenomenal in a black velvet Balmain long-sleeved gown encrusted with sparkling crystals. She flaunted her legs and her custom Alexandre Birman suede ankle-strap sandals through the thigh-high split of her dress.

The Kenyan-Mexican actress added even more shine with De Beers “Phenomena Glacier” 10.44-carat diamond earrings, silvery eyeshadow, and a silver string tied around the center knot in her hair.

Hot on the custom heels of Lupita is co-star Danai Gurira, who was scene-stealing in a Jean-Louis Sabaji Spring 2018 Couture gown featuring a feathered and sequined peacock motif.

Other lesser beings would be lost in such a tricky dress, but Danai pulled it off effortlessly with a bad-ass patterned buzzcut to boot.

Florence Kasumba was a force to be reckoned with herself in a Jenny Packham Spring 2017 gown. While the German-Ugandan actress’s dress was more delicate in its sheer fabrication and candy-like pink-and-red embellishments, she still served a face as fierce as her other female co-stars.

Florence’s Christian Louboutin “Golden Blake” platform sandals had a bit of a toe overhang, though, and the chain-fringed heels were a busy pairing with her colorful ensemble.

Letitia Wright didn’t wear a long evening gown, but she still evoked royalty in her Rami Al Ali Fall 2017 strapless dress, which featured a regal beaded design at the waist.

Last but certainly not least among our best-dressed is the Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman. Some guys say they wouldn’t be caught dead wearing animal print anything, but the 41-year-old actor pulled off a tiger-striped long blazer with aplomb.
