Ruth E. Carter received an Oscar in 2019 for designing Wakanda's fashions. It's only fitting that she would follow that by tightening her stitches on Zamunda's wardrobe, which was first seen in 1988's "Coming to America." Under her masterful guidance, everyone in "Coming 2 America" looks magnificent, from the soon-to-be king, Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy), to the rose petal-throwing ladies, once again led by Garcelle Beauvais. The end result is hypnotic; you can't take your gaze away from the screen for fear of missing a magnificent pattern or a beautifully designed angle of fabric rising in the air with ferocity. Fashionistas rejoice, because as we say in my old neighborhood, Ruth E. Carter put her foot in it when she designed these outfits.
