I’m sorry I missed covering the photos from Monday night’s LA premiere of Nope. Once I saw the photos, I was overcome by how many people came out to support Jordan Peele’s latest film. Peele has become one of those directors who direct “cultural event” movies. Watercooler movies, movies which cross demographics. It’s fascinating to see that in microcosm, at a red carpet premiere too. The Black excellence and Asian excellence on display on the carpet was really great. I’ll probably write something about the reviews when all of the embargos are over, but critics at the premiere have already been raving about Nope and calling it Peele’s latest masterpiece.

I’m including photos of Jordan Peele (who looked amazing in his custom purple suit) and his Nope actors: Daniel Kaluuya, Steven Yeun and Keke Palmer. Keke wore Marc Jacobs and I’m not in love with her look and I don’t think she loves it either. Also in attendance: Lupita Nyong’o (in a little black Brandon Maxwell dress), Steph and Ayesha Curry, John Boyega and newly single MICHAEL B. JORDAN.
