Regina King Praises This Shoe Designer For Having The Most Comfortable Shoes Ever

Regina King looks so stunning in a black and white Schiaparelli gown for the 2021 amfAR Cannes Gala held at Villa Eilenroc on Friday (July 16) in Cap d’Antibes, France.

The 50-year-old actress and director completed her look with Boucheron jewelry for the charitable night.

Earlier in the day, Regina stopped by the Kering Women In Motion Talk.

While there, she opened up about how she was approached to open the 2021 Oscars show the night before the event.

“I knew I was presenting and the category, and then they said the category would be up first. And then I thought, ‘Oh, they’re really changing things!’” she shared. “Then I got another call saying, ‘Well, it’s going to be a little more than your category starting first; we would like you to open the show.’ And I was like, ‘Open the show? I’m sorry. Open. The show?’”

Regina added, “That’s a lot of pressure. I talked to [ceremony producer Steven Soderbergh], we Zoomed, he laid it down, they sent a script, we worked on it. I was like, ‘Wow this is a lot to take in 24 hours before, but you can do it!’”

She was advised to wear comfortable shoes for the event, as it was quite a walk from the carpet to the podium at Union Station.

“I said, ‘It’s the Oscars! Of course I don’t have good shoes.’ But I brought the shoes to rehearsal and when I saw the distance — we call it a country mile — I was happy I had on the most comfortable shoes possible for the moment,” Regina shared about wearing a pair of six-inch Stuart Weitzman heels.

“[Stuart Weitzman] makes the best shoes if you have to walk a country mile in six-inch heels. I gave it to God and said, ‘Let’s go.’ I walked it once for the rehearsal and once for the show.”

FYI: Regina wore a Gucci look for the Kering event.

'The Harder They Fall' Cast Shines in Netflix's First Teaser Trailer - Watch Now!

The debut teaser trailer for Netflix‘s star-studded film The Harder They Fall is finally here!

Here’s a synopsis: When outlaw Nat Love (Jonathan Majors) discovers that his enemy Rufus Buck (Idris Elba) is being released from prison he rounds up his gang to track Rufus down and seek revenge. Those riding with him in this assured, righteously new school Western include his former love Stagecoach Mary (Zazie Beetz), his right and left hand men — hot-tempered Bill Pickett (Edi Gathegi) and fast drawing Jim Beckwourth (R.J. Cyler)—and a surprising adversary-turned-ally. Rufus Buck has his own fearsome crew, including “Treacherous” Trudy Smith (Regina King) and Cherokee Bill (LaKeith Stanfield), and they are not a group that knows how to lose. The film is directed by Jeymes Samuel and written by Samuel and Boaz Yakin.

The film does not have a release date just yet but is expected sometime this year.

It bodes well for all that there’s talent like Kemp — one of my favorite Moth storytellers and Ms. King in the world,” artistic director Catherine Burns shared in a statement. “Both stand as powerful examples of how storytelling helps forge powerful connections and creates greater empathy and understanding. They inspire and engage us all.”

The 50-year-old One Night In Miami director heard of the rumor that she’s on a short list of dream directors for the project from DC and Warner Bros.

While speaking to MSNBC’s Tiffany Cross over the weekend, Regina revealed that the rumor was news to her.

“I’m curious, because this is a little bit of gossip. You’re rumored to be on the short list to direct Superman. You and Barry Jenkins, both of your names have been thrown out there,” Tiffany had mentioned. “Anything you want to tell us? Is there any news you can break this morning about those conversations?”

Regina then replied, “Tiffany, that is news to me. You have broke the news to me…a news break, live on MSNBC!”

After pausing for a moment, she added that she had not “heard that until just now.”

Regina‘s name was listed on a dream list put out by many outlets after the studio shared it wanted to hire a Black director for the movie, as it would focus on the first Black Superman.

Regina King To Direct 'Bitter Root' Comic Book Movie Adaptation

Regina King has lined up another new movie to direct, according to Collider.

The 50-year-old One Night in Miami helmer will next step behind the camera for Bitter Root.

Set during the vibrant Harlem Renaissance of 1924, Bitter Root is a racially charged monster movie that follows a fractured family of once-great monster hunters who face an unimaginable evil that descends upon New York City.

For generations, the Sangeryes have hunted and cured those infected by a supernatural force that feeds off the prejudice of the era, transforming humans into monsters. Though many Sangeryes have died in the line of duty, the surviving family members have the unenviable choice to save or kill the creatures in hopes of thwarting an invasion.

Bitter Root‘s script is being re-written by Bryan Edward Hill and based off the comic book story from David F. Walker, Sanford Green and Chuck Brown, who will also be executive producing.

Regina is also going to be producing with Ryan Coogler and his Proximity Media partners Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian.
