Laura Harrier Stuns in Classic Black Dress at 'Cosmopolitan' Cover Party
Laura Harrier goes with a bold lip color to complete her stunning look at Cosmopolitan’s CosmoTrips Party held at Skybar on Thursday night (September 29) in West Hollywood, Calif.
The 32-year-old actress joined editor-in-chief Jessica Giles and SVP/Publisher Nancy Berger, as well as Kitty Ca$h, jxdn, and more for the event which was held in celebration of her brand new cover.
In her feature with the mag, Laura opened up about her own mental health and her take on colorism in Hollywood.
Speaking on colorism, Laura recognizes that “some of the most successful actresses of color tend to be on the lighter side and that’s definitely not okay.”
“There are so many facets to the Black experience. There are so many ways that Black people look, and only having one narrow view is something that I think is ultimately putting everybody at a disadvantage,” she went on. “We’re only shortchanging ourselves when we don’t show a diverse range of stories and a diverse range of people onscreen.”
Laura also shared that when she was filming Spider-Man: Homecoming, she would be called as her co-star, Zendaya.
“All the time,” she notes. “People wouldn’t even take the time to differentiate us…. It got to the point where we would joke about it a lot. What else are you going to do but laugh because it’s so completely ridiculous.”
