Afro-Inspired Accessories

Ruth E. Carter, the legendary costume designer behind Black Panther’s now infamous Afro-inspired looks is no newbie to the business of majestic movie magic. Yet with over 30 years in the business and two Oscar nominations, she considers Black Panther to be one of her greatest honors because, according to Carter, “I was able to touch people with the artistry of Africa.”  From gorgeous head wraps to regal tribal-inspired collar necklaces, we’ve rounded-up the fiercest Afro-inspired accessories to help you channel your own inner Black Panther mystique.
