attends the 90th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood & Highland Center on March 4, 2018 in Hollywood, California.

Danai Gurira’s beauty look at the Oscars was nothing short of magical, while the Black Panther and The Walking Dead star is known for her signature cut which she has worn it with aplomb all through awards season.

There’s only one way to describe this look: Stunning.
