Nakia from Black Panther

Nakia from Black Panther

Nakia (played by the fantastic Lupita Nyong'o) is one of Wakanda's best spies in Black Panther. She regularly leaves Wakanda to help others and to ensure that the country she loves remains safe. When Wakandan civil war breaks out she is quick to defend her king and the beliefs they share. And though she tells Okoye she is not a general, her strength and compassion clearly rally those around her!

Nakia's most memorable costume - the one she wears in the final battle of the Wakandan civil war - is gorgeously ornate. It's not an easy look to recreate but you can get close with this premade dress costume. Add black leggings and boots under that for a battle-ready look. Of course Nakia joins the battle fully prepared! She carries two ring blades or chakrams. You might not have access to Shuri's tech but embedded LED lights in the props pictures above get you close! Add to that a Dora Milaje spear and a vibranium bracelet and you're ready for battle too!
