Moonwalk On The Red Carpet! Stars Turn Out In Three Cities For The Global Premiere Of The Michael Jackson Biopic!
The world stood still yesterday, April 20, 2026, as the highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic finally made its grand debut with simultaneous premieres in New York, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. It was a night of high fashion, nostalgia, and a few “raised eyebrows” as Hollywood’s elite stepped out to honor the King of Pop.
From Jackson-inspired “fits” to some shocking body transformations, here is how your favorites showed up and showed out:
Larenz Tate & Tomasina Parrott
The Power star and his stunning wife, Tomasina, were the definition of “Black Excellence” in Los Angeles. The couple opted for a classic, coordinated look in all-black. Larenz looked sharp in a tailored tuxedo, while Tomasina was a literal vision in a floor-length gown. These two have been married since 2006, and honey, they still look like they’re on their first date!
LeToya Jackson
LeToya had everyone talking, but for some concerning reasons. LeToya has been looking noticeably thin lately—reportedly down to just 85 pounds—but she managed to look “passable” by strategically covering up. She wore a high-fashion, structured black ensemble that covered her arms and most of her frame, keeping the focus on her beautiful face rather than her shrinking silhouette.
Raven-Symoné
Raven brought the “Gen X-meets-Gen Z” energy in a baggy, electric blue pant-suit that was the epitome of “cool.” While she looked incredibly stylish and confident, the “tea” of the night was the absence of her wife, Miranda Maday. The two are usually inseparable, so her flying solo has the rumor mill spinning about what’s going on at home.
Nia Long
Nia Long walked onto that carpet and reminded everyone why she is “Forever Fine.” She wore a breathtaking silver sequin gown that shimmered under every flashbulb. The look was a direct nod to Michael’s iconic crystal-encrusted glove, and Nia carried it with the kind of grace that only a legend can.
Laura Harrier
The Spider-Man actress took a risk that paid off, channeling “Prime Madonna” in a boundary-pushing outfit. It was edgy, high-fashion, and very 80s—perfect for a night celebrating the era when MJ and the Material Girl ruled the charts.
Bobby Brown & Alicia Etheredge
The “King of R&B” himself was in the building! Bobby Brown looked like he was in great spirits, accompanied by his wife, Alicia. She stood out in a black sequin outfit topped off with a bold red hat—a look that felt very “Smooth Criminal.”
Martin Lawrence & His Daughters
Talk about a “Dad of the Year” moment! Martin Lawrence brought his three beautiful daughters—Jasmine, Iyanna, and Amara—and the family theme was perfection. All three girls wore Jackson-inspired outfits, blending modern trends with MJ’s legendary military-style jackets. It was easily the cutest family moment of the night.
Magic & Cookie Johnson
Magic Johnson kept it classic in a crisp white blazer that made him look every bit the billionaire businessman he is. But it was Cookie Johnson who really stole the show in a vibrant green floral pant-suit. In a sea of black and silver, Cookie was a breath of fresh air!
Karrueche Tran
Karrueche was spotted looking tiny and toned on the carpet, but fans were quick to notice she was flying solo. Notably absent was Deion Sanders Jr., whom she has been linked to recently. Is there trouble in paradise, or was she just out for a girls’ night?
Wale
Rapper Wale took the “tribute” theme to the extreme! He showed up looking like a literal Michael Jackson impersonator, complete with the hair and the vintage “Thriller” era vibes. Some fans called it “extra,” but Wale has always been a huge MJ fan, so he was clearly living his best life.
Skai Jackson
The former Disney star had the internet in a total tizzy! Skai showed off her “new body” in a tiny, form-fitting dress that left very little to the imagination. Social media is convinced that the 24-year-old recently underwent BBL surgery, as her curves appeared significantly more “enhanced” than they were just a few months ago. Whether it’s surgery or a very good gym routine, Skai is definitely leaving her “child star” image in the rearview!
Which look was your favorite of the night? And do we think Skai Jackson really went under the knife? Let us know in the comments!
