Who says you need to have a red carpet at a movie premiere?
Teyana Taylor threw her own COVID-safe and family-friendly premiere party for her film Coming 2 America, and let's just say, we wish we had an invite!
Teyana hosted the cozy backyard screening at her "Auntie's 360 Compound," the production studio mansion that Teyana works at with her business partner Coco. The lavish estate was the perfect venue for a casual premiere party to celebrate the A-list film.
"When I said 'aunties,' aunties is me and Coco," Teyana explained on tonight's We Got Love premiere. "Me and Coco is a two-woman team. Coco went from a ballerina who auditioned for me to a full-grown partner. She is literally my dancer. Coco believed in all my crazy visions and my crazy dreams. It was literally two people that were passionate and believed in what we knew this was going to be, and we've been winning since."
However, the posh Coming 2 America fête had plenty of last minute prep, thanks to numerous staffing snafus. "I hate same day prepping," Teyana complained. "I've had a lot of frustrations with my team, but thank god it's kind of like an all-hands-on-deck situation over here."
From quarantine plastic bubbles bursting to figuring out where to park the po'boy food truck, Teyana showed off her multi-tasking talents while balancing being a hostess, star and planner. Her grandparents even traveled specially for the screening, and fellow actress Karrueche Tran was in attendance.
Teyana introduced Coming 2 America with a special heartfelt message: "Thank you all for coming out, thank you to all my ghetto friends and family. Enjoy this movie. Bam."
Following the screening, husband Iman Shumpert gushed over Teyana's performance. "To see her along the likes of Eddie Murphy, Wesley Snipes, be part of a legendary cast, everybody's proud of Teyana," he stated.
Of course, the backyard movie night is a change of pace for the high-profile couple. Relive their best red carpet moments from movie premieres, Fashion Week events and album listening parties below!
