Last night, the Emilia Perez squad rolled up to the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood for a premiere so glamorous it could’ve melted the stars off the Walk of Fame. Adriana Paz, Karla Sofia Gascón, Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez, and Edgar Ramirez strutted the red carpet like it owed them money – and honey, they collected.
Celebrity Couples and… Mysterious Plus Ones?
Zoe brought her Italian artist hubby Marco Perego, proving that love and good hair still reign supreme. Meanwhile, Edgar Ramirez strolled in with Sofia Boutella on his arm, sparking “Who’s the plus one?” whispers louder than a Kardashian pregnancy rumor.
The Plot Thickens – And So Does the Absurdity
Directed by the French genius Jacques Audiard (the kind of guy who drinks espresso while reading Sartre), Emilia Perez is a cinematic rollercoaster described as “an audacious fever dream.” Honestly, it sounds like what happens when you binge-watch three telenovelas while listening to Beyoncé’s Renaissance. With vibrant dance numbers and visuals so bold they probably need a warning label, this film follows Emilia (played by Karla Sofia Gascón), a terrifying cartel leader with a midlife crisis. She hires lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldana), whose life has gone more off-course than a GPS with no signal, to help her fake her own death and finally live her truth.
Think: Breaking Bad meets Mamma Mia! but with salsa dancing, soul-searching, and some seriously life-changing wigs.
Oscar Buzz: Start Practicing Those Acceptance Speeches
If the buzz is to be believed, Karla Sofia and Zoe Saldana are already penciling in their Oscar acceptance speeches. And why not? With the Academy eating up unconventional roles, Emilia Perez might sweep the awards season faster than Adele at the Grammys.
Release Dates: Mark Your Calendars, Streamers and Dreamers
Emilia Perez sashays into theaters on November 1, just in time for post-Halloween recovery. And if you’re too full of candy corn to leave the house, Netflix will have your back on November 13.
Fashion Flash!
In case you were wondering (and let’s face it, you were), Selena Gomez graced the premiere in a sparkling Elie Saab number that probably costs more than a Tesla. Zoe Saldana, ever the fashion goddess, slayed in a Saint Laurent dress that whispered, “Yes, I am flawless, and yes, you will deal.”
This film isn’t just a movie—it’s a vibe. And judging by that red carpet energy, Hollywood better be ready for Emilia to take over… with style, sass, and a little bit of chaos.
