Lindsay Pugh is Costume Designer on director Nia DaCosta's MCU debut, and responsible for creating Monica's 'Photon' super-suit (a name she never adopts in the movie, but which was her mother's U.S. Air Force pilot callsign and is used on merchandise for the film).

Monica receives her black and white costume (which is similar the S.A.B.E.R. station uniforms) courtesy of 'Prince Yan' of the water planet Aladna and initially it comes with sleeves which is an ode to her original comic book look.

I love the DNA Double Helix on the sleeve detail and I'm slightly obsessed with the stitching and design of her black knee-high boots. She looks great in action in the movie.

Fans of the latest Marvel Studios cinematic entry can also enjoy these other movie costumes from The Marvels on display, and these Captain Marvel movie costumes from 2019. 

Black girl magic indeed.
