Angela Bassett was in attendance at the 95th annual Academy Awards on March 12, 2023, in Los Angeles. The actress wore a vibrant regal Moschino gown. Bassett is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as “Ramonda” in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
Bassett wore a purple off-the-shoulder tulle dress that has a sculptural neckline with a sweeping midsection. Bassett completed her look with a black circular clutch and sparkling silver Moschino jewels.
Directed by Ryan Coogler, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” follows Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye and the Dora Milaje as they fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with Nakia and Everett Ross to forge a new path for their beloved kingdom.
The annual Oscars celebrates film, cinematography and the artists who bring characters to life. This year, Jimmy Kimmel hosts the show. Performances include Rihanna and Lady Gaga, and presenters include Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Janelle Monáe and more. For the 95th annual ceremony, the red carpet was swapped for a champagne color due to an aesthetic choice to enhance the photography during the arrivals. The champagne carpet is the first to change from red since the 33rd Oscars in 1961.
