Angela Bassett and her makeup artist, D'Andre Michael, thought outside the box while putting together her Oscars look. Of course, the results speak for themselves. Instead of opting for traditional black eyeliner, the pair decided on navy, which is both an unexpected and a delightful choice. According to Glamour, Michael lined Bassett's eyes with Lancôme Hypnôse 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette in Bleu Hypnotique and Le Crayon Khôl in Black Ebony. 

 Bassett is no stranger to daring styles, as her stylist Jennifer Austin was only too happy to show off on her Instagram feed this weekend. Austin was on hand to outfit the star for the 2018 premiere of Black Panther. She explained to Yahoo! that, "Angela is the Queen of Wakanda in the movie so I wanted that to be seen on the carpet for the premiere. I pulled references from our African culture: the tribal women from Ethopia and Nigeria, and from the Indian culture as well! I wanted the jewelry to be big, gold and excessive."
