3. Black Panther 2, Ruth Carter. “It was very important that the materials not create a costume that looked too much like a costume. We wanted it to be taken seriously. We didn't want it to be oversexualized, like the [way the] comics sometimes paint female warriors.” She said that out of thousands of tribes in Africa she used 8 to twelve of them to stand for the tribe of Wakanda.
4. Everything Everywhere All at Once, Shirley Kurata Evelyn, the owner of a laundromat, is terrorized by each of Jobu's absurd multiverse-jumping personalities that costume designer and stylist Shirley Kurata have put together (Michelle Yeoh).

Martin points out that a lived-in experience versus an on-screen portrayal has distinct expectations for directors, actors, and audiences. Elvis, of course, wasn't constantly changing into a new outfit, and when he sat down, his jeans might have occasionally exposed his socks.
