I have to say, I’m kind of obsessed with this Danai Gurira’s take on the sheer dress trend at the London premiere of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The sheer, black gown, which features a dramatic center slit, is covered in a shimmering gold floral design, with matching gold flecks in the actor’s hair and eye-makeup. Against her dark skin, the gown makes Gurira look like the night sky come to life.

Gurira posted a close-up photo of the glam to her Instagram, explaining that her makeup artist’s inspiration for the look was the “Starry Night” painting by Vincent van Gogh. “When in London 🖤,” she wrote. “The #WakandaForever press tour continues.” The dress, according to Gurira’s stylist Thomas Carter’s IG, is Elie Saab, paired with Cartier jewels and strappy, Louboutin heels.
