The Hollywood stars aligned at the Regency Theatre at Westwood Village in Los Angeles for the premiere of Kenya Barris’ new film, You People.
The interracial rom-com, loosely based on Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, is loaded with social themes that will explore racial stereotypes in America with a comedic twist. “black-ish” creator Kenya Barris and Jonah Hill, who stars in the film, teamed up to write the script for Barris’ feature directorial debut.
The film follows a heavily tattooed white Jewish man, Ezra (played by Jonah Hill), who falls in love with Amira (played by Lauren London), a Black woman whose father (played by Eddie Murphy) identifies as Muslim, and the friction between their families.
Lauren London pulled up at the premiere to apply all the pressure! The You People star showed off her snatched frame in a pink stretch devoré-velvet and mesh turtleneck Alex Perry mini dress paired with FEMME London sandals…and ATE!
Slayed!

While on the carpet, the Academy Award nominee talked about why he turned down filming a third installment of Dr. Dolittle.
“You know, it’s funny, when I remember way back when they were trying to put together Dr. Dolittle 3 and the reason I didn’t do that [is because] I was like, ‘Raven [Symoné] is a grown woman.’ I said, ‘I can’t have no grown woman calling me Dad,'” Eddie told Entertainment Tonight. “But now we’re here, we’re really here, and I think it’s cool ’cause we still look like ourselves.”
“But still’ I’ve aged though. It’s all in my feet and my back teeth,” the actor added, laughing. “If you saw my feet and my back teeth, you’d be like, ‘Oh yeah, he really is in his sixties.'”
Ha! Speaking of Raven…
