#AboutLastNight: Rihanna & More Hit Red Carpet For ‘Queen & Slim’
It’s fridayyyyy! Congrats, you made it to the end of the week, again. We know this was a long one, and you deserve all the relaxation in the world, but before you hit reset on your life you need to make it through the workday AND get caught up on all the happenings of Thursday night. And that includes the “Queen & Slim” premiere.
QUEEN & SLIM
It’s the film fans are waiting to see and critics have been praising with adoration. The Lena Waithe written, Melina Matsoukas directed, “Queen & Slim” has been described as the modern-day Black Bonnie & Clyde … but, of course, we know in this climate it means so much more. The film has so much buzz that the hottest of Black Hollywood hit the red carpet to support the premiere at AFI FEST 2019 held at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. We’re talking Rihanna, Zendaya, Janelle … oh my!
