In this way, Carter contributed to the female characters in Black Panther being among the most memorable and beloved. Carter has also received Oscar nominations for costume design for Steven Spielberg’s Amistad and Spike Lee’s Malcolm X, and has worked on other films including Selma, Marshall and The Butler.
