Kiawentiio at the Netflix Avatar the Last Airbender Season 1 Premiere 🤩🌊

Fun facts about her look:
- She worked with Indigenous designers for her beaded corset and mermaid skirt etched with Avatar Easter eggs, and an overall effect like cascading water.
“I thought it would be really cool to incorporate each symbol for the four nations, so that’s in there.”
A Pai Sho tile, and a fan used by the show’s Kyoshi warriors.
“Then another favorite thing of mine, a personal touch, was the wolf prints on the side, which is actually kind of a double meaning, because I am Wolf Clan, and also Wolf Cove for Katara and where she comes from.”

- “In our culture, braids are really significant, and they are actually a form of protection as well, so it was really important to me to incorporate that”
