I was hoping for this,” “Black Panther” costume designer Ruth E. Carter said on 
the purple carpet.
“All of the award shows I was watching on TV, I was like, ‘Oh, you wait until ‘Black Panther’ red carpet rolls around. It’s a celebration.”
Carter added: “How best to get the party started than to, on premiere night, have 
the cast, have the crew, have the directors and everybody participate in this 
explosion of patterns and African prints? Everyone can join in the fun!“
