Black Hollywood was out in full effect on Wednesday night for the premiere of Spike Lee‘s latest joint, BlackKklansman. 

Stars swarmed the red carpet before watching the film that focuses on the true-life story of  Ron Stallworth, a Black detective who successfully infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in the 1970s.

Executive producer, Jordan Peele, was missing in action but there were plenty of famous faces on deck to celebrate the eye-opening film before heading to Chateau Marmont for a star-studded after party.
