Rather than constructing loose, baggy shorts as were traditional in battle, Phillips went for a fitted look to make the costume feel contemporary. The palace tunics layered on top incorporate shades of turquoise and gold, woven byin South Africa. The decorative cowrie shells had monetary value and were used for protection, and the gold jewelry they wore was said to be gifted from the king.

Phillips revealed that directorgave the actors who played Agojie their weapons to keep, wrapped in beautiful boxes after filming ended."I think they probably have them displayed somewhere really nicely," Phillips said."Viola had even asked me for the arm cuff [she wore], and I have it for her. I just haven't given it to her yet.
