You stood beside me during some of the biggest moments of my life: When I got married, when loved ones passed away, and when my husband was sick – you were there for me, always and without hesitation.”
- “With every outfit we created, I wanted the world to see and feel the warmth of your beautiful spirit.”
- She recalled the instances Boseman would always make time to give her and her colleague hugs and compliments.
- “No matter how late we made you for events, you always stopped to hug @saishabeecham and I and say how much you loved and appreciated us before walking out the door,” she wrote.
- “As you walked out this final door, I wish I could’ve hugged YOU and told YOU how much I loved and appreciated everything you did for me. My big brother. My King. I love you.”
Over the years: Weston has been dressing the actor up in carpets events around the globe for years, including premieres for the hit Marvel film “Black Panther.”

- “All I have to do is shop. She’ll come with options and I just shop in that space,” he shared.
- Boseman further mulled about the changes a person goes through, noting: “Everything’s always changing. You can have a sense of what that change is and what the changes are in you, and I think it’s all about knowing who you are at this particular moment.”
