Sanaa Lathan Attends “Clips & Conversation” dinner Cecconi's Dumbo 💇🏾‍♀️

Sanaa Lathan was front and center to celebrate her role in Netflix's Nappily Ever After with a special dinner at Cecconi’s in Brooklyn recently.

She snapped it up with the film’s producer Tracey Bing, director Haifaa al-Mansour and the film’s hairstylist Larry Sims before sitting down for an intimate panel discussion about womanhood, hair and more, moderated by InStyle’s Editor-at-Large, Kahlana Barfield-Brown.

In Nappily Ever After, Violet has a seemingly perfect life — a high-powered job, an eligible doctor boyfriend and a meticulously maintained, flawless coiffure. But after a life-changing event doesn’t go according to her plan, and a hair-raising incident at the hairdresser, her life begins to unravel.

Eventually, Violet realizes that she was living the life she thought she was supposed to live, not the one she really wanted. After her man doesn't propose and a little girl at the hairdresser checks her about how much money she's spending on her hair, we see the evolution of what perfection really means take place. And it's inspiring as all hell.




Ricky Whittle and Lyriq Bent star as her love interests and Lynn Whitfield as her mother also star.
