For the event, the “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” Oscar-nominated star wore a strapless Barbiecore-pink matching set with a queenly spin courtesy of Nadine Merabi. The actress’ matching set featured wide-leg, high-waisted pants as well as a flowing train on the strapless top.

As the actress walked up the stairs to accept her honor, the train of her look flowed behind her, giving the actress a completely regal appearance she carried with confidence. She paired the ensemble with shining, reflective platform heels.
Ryan Coogler, the director of 2018’s “Black Panther” and 2022’s “ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ,” shared remarks about Bassett during the onstage presentation. “She [has] always given these incredible larger-than-life performances that somehow still feel incredibly real and tangent. What she does is truly a gift,” Coogler said.

Members of the Dora Milaje from the Marvel film were also onstage. A video tribute to Bassett, featuring commentary from Coogler and Bassett’s husband of more than 25 years, Courtney B. Vance, also played.
Given that Bassett portrayed Queen Ramonda in both “Black Panther” films, her elegant and vibrant attire was ideal for the D23 convention.
