It has become apparent that the buzz will only get hotter. The new biopic Harrietabout American slave abolitionist Harriet Turban is set to hit the big screen later this year and we can hardly wait. At the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival premiere of the film on Tuesday however, the star actress, Nigeria’s Cynthia Erivo and other Africans stole all the spotlight.
The 32-year-old Emmy, Grammy, and Tony-winning leading lady walked the red carpet in a gorgeous blush pink Christian Siriano dress that surely turned heads.
To the after-party, she switched things up opting for a thigh-high slit metallic dress.
