We already knew that Gina Rodriguez and her upcoming revolutionary flick Miss Bala (in theaters February 1) would be impressive. The film's cast and crew are predominantly Latinx and the movie centers around Gina's character, a Mexican-American woman. It's not a plot that you see everyday. “When Hollywood reimagines films, they have historically whitewashed them," Gina says. "In this case, the American girl is me, a Latina born in this country."
So to the Latinx community, this film is extremely important and will ultimately shape the way Hollywood tackles Latinx-centric films.
To support, the fiercest Latinas attended the red carpet and absolutely showed up. From Eva Longoria and America Ferrera to Rosario Dawson and newcomer Jenny Ortega, the Miss Bala movie premiere was glowing with Latina power.
Scroll to witness the star power these gorgeous A-listers brought.
Gina Rodriguez
The Jane the Virgin actress looked stunning in a dark red, sparkly dress that featured a thigh high slit in the front. She was accompanied by her fiancé Joe Locicero.
Dania Ramirez
The Dominican actress dazzled in a bright red and sleeveless gown at the premiere. But the best part of her look? Her sky-high ponytail.
America Ferrera
America Ferrera went vintage for the Miss Bala red carpet. The Honduran actress wore a long-sleeve black frock with yellow polka dots and—this is the best part—a mini yellow clutch.
