All stylish and glamorous, the stars descended on the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Califonia yesterday for the premiere of Queen and Slim starring Academy Award nominee Daniel Kaluuya and newcomer Jodie Turner-Smith.
The film, written by Emmy winning screenwriter Lena Waithe, protests police brutality in the US.
It is set around a black couple who, after a traffic stop gone-wrong situation, have to make the choice of running from the justice system or risk incarceration.
