These are the outfits worn by Black Panther's lineup of stars at the Oscars. While Danai Gurira (Okoye), Winston Duke (M'Baku) and Daniel Kaluuya (W'Kabi) went more traditional, Boseman and Nyong'o represent their film and characters with some Vibranium-inspired fashion.

Chadwick Boseman on the red carpet shouting “Wakanda forever!” has already made this the best Oscars ever.

If the fashion wasn't enough, Boseman drove it home with the Wakandan battle cry to let the Oscars know they were Outchere! Hey never froze.

If you want proof of just how much Black Panther is making stars out of its cast - read the above. They're now more than actors - they're global rock stars!

Saw Black Panther again instead of watching the Oscars... I like my decision. I have a couple tweets to tweet after seeing the winners though...

Margot Robbie and Nicole Kidman can't believe they're meeting #BlackPanther, either. #Oscars pic.twitter.com/zKAe1fPFJG

The blackest superhero around took the podium alongside the chalky-whitest supervillain in the genre - and both of them together looked like a high-class, well-dressed versions of Marvel's Cloak & Dagger. Back stage, Nicole Kidman added a little Aquaman regency to the mix!

Listen , the Oscars come on tonight y’all. Please don’t be asking all night “Where is Black Panther?”.... it just came out . We will see them next year

In case you were triggered about this, just a small reminder: Black Panther hasn't even been out for a month in theaters, so it will not be in contention for Oscars until next year. Wakanda Forever (until next year)!
