Ruth E. Carter is a trailblazing, two-time Academy Award-winning American film costume designer. Celebrated for her work in bringing to life the vibrant and culturally rich costumes of Black Panther, Carter made history as the first Black person to win the Academy Award for Best Costume Design, securing Marvel Studios’ first Oscar in the process. She repeated this groundbreaking success with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to become the first Black woman to win multiple Academy Awards in any category and the first costume designer to win for both a feature film and its sequel. Most recently, for her work in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, Carter earned her fifth Academy Award nomination, becoming the most nominated Black woman in Oscar history.
