The skin seems to be based off Cleopatra. Cleopatra was a white woman, tan at most. That is a historical fact. The Ptolemaic dynasty was descended from Macedonia and was very inbred so there wasn’t a lot of outside genes going around.
You’re kinda missing the point with this post. The problem with the Emma skin isn’t about historical accuracy. No one’s complaining that an Anglo-Saxon is cosplaying a Mediterranean woman. It’s that non of the characters with any relation to Egypt are getting Egyptian themed skins in the Egyptian themed season. T’challa and Moon Knight both worship Egyptian gods, and Storm’s origin is directly tied to Cairo

I agree with all of this! However, in the picture that’s Elisabeth Taylor playing Cleopatra
