In the Black Panther's first solo movie, The Walking Dead's Danai Gurira plays 'Okoye', head of the Wakandan royal bodyguards and female security force, the Dora Milaje. Angela Bassett plays 'Ramonda', 'T'Challa's' mother and Wakanda's Queen Mother and oft times advisor to the king of the isolated and technologically advanced African nation.

These costumes from Ryan Coogler's Marvel Studios movie were photographed on display at ArcLight Hollywood cinema on January 19, 2018.I'd previously seen some of these costumes out of display cases at Disney's D23 Expo 2017, but it was nice to get a look at Wakanda's Kimoyo bead bracelets included in this exhibit that all the citizens wear, that provide communications and other high-tech assistance.
