Ruth E. Carter, costume designer for BlackPantherWakandaForever, discusses the complexities of creating underwater suits.
Costume designer Ruth E. Carter has revealed her process of designing the new Black Panther super suit for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as well as other characters’ costumes. Carter revealed her biggest challenge was creating a suit that would also function underwater. She also explained the importance of elevating Queen Ramonda’s status and the significance of gold and silver in Princess Shuri’s suit.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY After the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman, Carter revealed she wanted to create a suit that both incorporated T’Challa’s suit and played to Princess Shuri’s femininity. “We didn’t go too far away from her form, the silhouette of a woman, with a bust and hips and shoulders,” Carter explained. “But we also wanted to delicately enhance the dynamic figure of the panther suit.
The use of metal was also an important feature of Queen Ramonda’s costume in elevating her status. “We see a strong presence of metal. Her crown has been elevated and she has a collar to her dress that’s been 3D-printed and painted to look like metal,” Carter said. In Black Panther , Ramonda was in an advisory role, requiring her costume to be more relaxed rather than needing to exude the strength of a ruler.
