Oscar-nominated costume designer Ruth E. Carter talks outfitting her fellow nominee Angela Bassett in her royal head-to-toe finery for her role as Queen Ramonda in BlackPanther: WakandaForever
“It’s a bold choice to not walk in with a business suit on,” says Ruth E. Carter, who made history as the first Black costume designer to win an Oscar with her stunning world-building work in 2018’s. “It’s more of her claiming her power — and her position in the world — and being very unapologetic. [It’s a] metaphor: to bare arms and to just take on your own strength and power.”
When confronting adversary Namor , who ultimately just wants to protect his people in the underwater realm of Talokan, Ramonda sets the tone for her negotiations in a celestial caped gown. “She has her queenly silhouette — and she wants him to know who she is,” says Carter, who ornamented an “overdyed” peach brocade with “silver paintwork.” Ramonda’s metallic isicholo and bustier-like “chest armor” communicate the force of Wakanda’s vibranium, as well as her own.
Ramonda’s silver collar necklace, with a scarab and mask, portrays her connection to her people — even through backstory. “I love the touch that [Atlanta-based jeweler Baba G’s] work gives to this whole creative world of Wakanda,” says Carter. “Because he would be a Wakandan, who was making something for the queen.”Later, Ramonda metes out punishment to Okoye , after the Dora Milaje special forces leader loses Princess Shuri to Namor.
