DUBAI: American actress Regina Hall took the red carpet by storm this week when she stepped out wearing Lebanese label Elie Saab at the premiere of her latest mockumentary movie. The actress, who rose to fame for her role as Brenda Meeks in the “Scary Movie” series, wore a fully embellished suit from the label’s ready-to-wear fall/winter 2022 collection.
This is not the first time the actress has worn an Elie Saab creation. At the 2018 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Hall wore a molten-gold gown from the label’s spring/summer 2017 collection.

The actress was joined on the red carpet by her co-star Sterling K. Brown (“This is Us”) as well as other castmates including Devere Rogers, Conphidance and Austin Crute.
Hall and Brown produced the film, which made its debut at Sundance this year, alongside Daniel Kaluuya and Jordan Peele, who were also present at the premiere with director duo Adanne and Adamma Ebo.
Hall, who was a co-emcee at the 2022 Oscars, also addressed Will Smith’s apology over the infamous slap incident. “I think it’s a tough thing and I know it’s a difficult road,” Hall told Variety at the premiere. “The first step is he apologized. How people see it, it’s up to them…I know that wasn’t easy.”

Hall will also be seen in the upcoming Netflix buddy comedy movie “Me Time” alongside actors Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg. Written and directed by John Hamburg, “Me Time” will release on the streaming platform on Aug. 26.
The film sees Hart and Hall reunite to play a married couple with kids. The duo previously worked together in “Scary Movie 3,” “Scary Movie 4” and “Superhero Movie.” The pair also both appeared in the 2010 remake of “Death at a Funeral” and have starred together in the romantic comedies “Think Like a Man,” “Think Like a Man Too” and “About Last Night.”
For a taste of what to expect from the comedy film, here is how Netflix describes “Me Time”: “When a stay-at-home dad finds himself with some ‘me time’ for the first time in years while his wife and kids are away, he reconnects with his former best friend for a wild weekend that nearly upends his life.”
