ok but like, has anyone else noticed that in the beginning of BP:WF, Shuri’s wardrobe is mostly white and at the end of the movie she’s wearing black???

In traditional African culture, white is the color used to symbolize death and grief for funerals

and then, at the very end of the film when everything is over, Shuri is wearing black while burning the funeral clothes.

I think it’s really cool how ever detail in this movie symbolizes Shuri’s grief and development as a character, and the clothes show that. Big fuckin props to Ruth E. Carter
