She previously won Oscars for Black Panther in 2018 and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2023, becoming the first Black woman to win two Academy Awards. Carter is now a five-time nominee, surpassing Oscar-winning actor Viola Davis. She is tied with longtime collaborator Spike Lee and Morgan Freeman for the third-most nominations among Black creatives, behind the late Quincy Jones and Denzel Washington."

She earned Oscar nominations for her work on Spike Lee's Malcolm X and Steven Spielberg's Amistad, and received acclaim for period ensembles in projects including The Butler, Selma and the reboot of Roots. Her designs have also been worn by Washington, Oprah Winfrey, Eddie Murphy and Jerry Seinfeld, including for the original Seinfeld pilot."
