Teyana Taylor dons face covering while Laura Harrier oozes elegance at White Men Can’t Jump premiere
Prior to its wide release, the upcoming movie White Men Can’t Jump premiered in Los Angeles.
Many of the stars of the sports comedy, a remake of the 1992 movie of the same name, were on hand for the promotional event at the famed El Capitan Theater.
Of all the cast, Tejana Taylor made quite an impression as she stepped onto the red carpet for a photo round in a multi-colored ensemble consisting of baggy pants and a jacket combo with a matching hat and face covering.
The covering over her head had a sheer quality to it, so that her face was still visible, although her hair was obscured by the hat.
Co-star Laura Harrier opted for a more elegant look in a burgundy and black velvet dress and a pair of open-toed heels.

Taylor, 32, was seen smiling through that semi-sheer face covering as she struck a variety of poses on the red carpet.
The combination of pants and jacket consisted of shades of yellow, blue, red, pink, black and orange in square shapes.
The face covering, which had the same color scheme, went over her hat and went down her neckline.
As a sporty touch, the singer and actress also wore a pair of white and red high-top sneakers.
Harrier, 33, flashed her infectious smile for all to see in her eye-catching velvet number that was complete with black spaghetti straps and a plunging neckline that hinted at her cleavage.
For the event, the Chicago native had styled her raven black locks long, wavy and straight down to about the middle of her back with a parting on the right side.
At one point during all the pomp and circumstance on the red carpet, Harrier greeted co-star Jack Harlow, who was decked out in a double-breasted plaid suit and matching shirt.
The What’s Poppin rapper, 25, had grown his brown hair to about shoulder length, while also sporting a scruffy beard and moustache combo.
