The stars, as in celebrities, were definitely aligned at the Los Angeles premiere of the Michael Jackson biopic Michael on Monday. One celeb who is always red-carpet-ready was Vivica A. Fox, who wore an off-the-shoulder dress designed by Mary Katrantzou, and auburn side-swept hair styled in loose waves. We spoke with the actress and director to ask about her takeaway from the film.
“The Hollywood premiere of ‘Michael’ was EPIC! A MAGICAL nite with a star-studded red carpet, amazing fashions & fun!” says Fox.

Smith, Deon Cole, Bill Bellamy, Raven-Symoné, Chance the Rapper, and legendary music producers Jimy Jam and Terry Lewis were just a few of the faces there to support this iconic time in world music history—along with Michaels’ siblings Jackie, La Toya, Marlon, and Jermaine Jackson.
