The Photograph star Y’lan Noel wore a sleek blue, grey, and black striped suit on the red carpet.
Chanté Adams put on a leggy display in a semi-sheer green gown with a high leg slit. The actress portrays a young version of Issa’s character’s mom in The Photograph.
The film’s director, Stella Meghie, wore an elegant black gown to the premiere event. I just fought for all of them. In a recent profile, she gushed about her entire cast. “I begged all of them to be in the film and then I fought for all of them to be pushed through the studio system to get their spot to shine in a broader film than we’ve seen them in that had smaller distribution. It’s just such an amazing ensemble. There could be no better cast,” she told Refinery29. “We have some of the best African American actors, period, established or up-and-coming. I just really zoned in on who I felt was right for each role, and I was really lucky.”
