For Halle Bailey, bringing authentic Black girl moments to the screen, just as they show up in her everyday life, was essential to 'You, Me & Tuscany.'

Ahead of the film’s premiere, GU Content Editor Danielle Wright linked up with Halle to talk about how she connects to her character Anna and the real-life touches she infused into the role.

Make your weekend plans to see @youmetuscany in theaters April 10th! ✨

For The Drama premiere, Zendaya and Law Roach walked us down the aisle of imagination.

The pair reimagined the bridal tradition: Something Old. Something New. Something Borrowed. Something Blue, all in true couture fashion.

From looks pulled straight from Zendaya’s own closet to borrowed glamour once worn by silver screen legends.

The style architect and his ultimate muse remain fashion’s favorite union, and we’ll say “I do” every time.

Romance is back and it’s got a passport stamp. 

You, Me & Tuscany brings back the soft, joyful, a little messy magic of Black rom-coms we’ve been missing.

Starring Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page, this love story reminds us that sometimes healing looks like laughter. Sometimes, it looks like letting love meet you exactly where you are, and sometimes, it looks like Tuscany.

In theaters April 10.

Everyone be quiet, our favorite show is on! 🥹✨

Still not over the outpouring of love at ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood. From the carpet to the luncheon room, the sisterhood was powerful, joyful, and beautifully generational.

The Marvelous Marsai!

From attending her first ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood in 2019 to returning as our 2026 host, Marsai Martin continues to shine in a true full-circle moment.

Many of us watched her grow up—and some grew up right alongside her. And before taking the stage, she reflected on that journey by sharing a letter to her younger self.
