ELLE Magazine Women In Hollywood November 2018 Issue-Feat. Yara, Angela, Lupita, Shondra!
25 years of celebrating the movers and shakers of Tinseltown! The ELLE Magazine Women in Hollywood November 2018 Issue; is PACKED with starlets. Amazing ladies ranging from actresses to writers as well as producers. So then, who’s all being honored this year?
11 stars who are killing it in 11 different ways! Moreover, in ELLE’s November 2018 edition you will be able to see Black Panther’s Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira; as well as Academy Award winner, Lupita Nyong’o. ALSO, the publication catches up with one of the biggest names in television history, Shonda Rhimes.
Yes, THE woman behind some of the biggest TV hits to grace the small screen. We are talking about Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice; and lest we forget-eth, Scandal. Rhimes is in a class of her own and still setting the standard.
Furthermore, young Hollywood is not left out of the loop either. Representing the future of TV and film, the stunning Yara Shahidi is additionally honored as a fearless industry spear-header and leader. Therefore, this issue really demonstrates the strides that women in all facets of the entertainment realm are making to even out the “male-dominant” playing field.
ELLE Magazine Women In Hollywood November 2018 Issue-Feat. Yara, Angela, Lupita, Shondra
They’re beautiful, hard-working and also simply want the best treatment for all. ELLE magazine shares why they are honoring this cool set of Hollywood elite by saying,
“To say there’s been a paradigm shift in the entertainment industry in the past year would be an understatement. And no one has faced its brave new landscape more head on than our eleven honorees for 2018. – the twenty-fifth anniversary of Women in Hollywood.
To start, Lady Gaga, the ever-outspoken singer-turned-actress currently selling out theatres in A Star Is Born. [Also] Yara Shahidi, who at 18 is a leading voice for social justice; and the powerful writer/producer Shonda Rhimes; who recently signed a multimillion-dollar megadeal with Netflix.
[There has been] gradual progress made in the… movement to get more female story-tellers behind and in-front of the camera. This theme emerges again and again in our November issue, from our Black Panther cast spotlight featuring Lupita Nyong’o– who went from penning a powerful New York Times op-ed about a disturbing encounter with Harvey Winston; to storming the box office alongside fellow Wakanda women of Black Panther Angela Bassett, and Danai Gurira.”

Oftentimes, many only think of “adult” opinions on the situation that Hollywood is currently in. However, ELLE mag also shares what Blackish’s Yara Shahidi is experiencing. They reveal,
“For Yara Shahidi, this is what it means to be a woman in Hollywood in 2018:
‘There’s an intentional knowledge disparity in any industry. Which is tied to the maintaining of power. [Moreover] I love the fact that this community of women is disintegrating that.
I’ve been able to reap the benefits of it; and I’m also fortunate to have my parents with me, guiding me. This is a hobby, so I haven’t had to do this as something that my family and I depend on. Which has helped alleviate pressures that many actors feel.”

Angela Bassett Covers Allure End of Anti-Aging Issue- November 2018!
Hey Auntie… Black Panther’s Angela Bassett Covers Allure End of Anti-Aging Issue for November 2018 and we are over here about to lose it! There is no way on this green earth that this woman is one decade times 6!
The classic beauty and iconic actress is resetting the standard and redefining what true beauty means. All while continuing a long career in an industry known for preferring youth over maturity. For their November edition Allure explores this subject with the gorgeous Bassett in order to continue to forever change views on age and beauty.
Angela Bassett Covers Allure End of Anti-Aging Issue- November 2018
Nonetheless, why exactly did Allure want to choose Bassett for their second annual End of Anti-Aging edition? The journal reveals why Angela was an obvious selection by saying,
“Stop asking Angela Bassett why she looks ‘so young’ for her age. In our ‘End of Anti-Aging issue, we spoke to the actress about growing older; and being a woman of color in an unforgiving culture- and how that all is changing.
Angela Bassett doesn’t follow the rules, she makes them. That’s why she was the perfect choice to front our ‘End of Anti-Aging issue. Last year, we decided to make some new rules ourselves; banning the term ‘anti-aging’ from Allure. In 2018, we’re continuing the conversation to better recognize that growing older is beautiful.
[Also] from Reva Styles in ‘Boyz in the Hood’ to Marie Laveau in ‘American Horror Story’ Angela Bassett walks us through her most iconic onscreen beauty looks.”

Another cool aspect of Angela’s cover and editorial is that was shot with the Google Pixel 3. Yes, Google’s latest phone drop (October 9, 2018- $799) is the piece of photography equipment used to showcase all that is Angela Bassett. Once more proving just how beautiful Angela is… all the woman needs is a measly phone camera. Goals.
Nevertheless, what advice does Angela have for looking your best as the years tick by? Get your tablets and pens ready y’all because Bassett is giving the formula. Allure’s Digital Editorial Director, Kelly Bales, recently shared the beauty intel by stating,
“As a kid watching ‘Waiting to Exhale’ I remember falling in love with the iconic strength and beauty of Angela Bassett. Her acting brought me to tears and when she lights that cigarette with the burning trash of her cheating husband’s stuff I STILL scream.
What an honor to have her on our second End of Anti-Aging issue. I leave you with advice she gives in our cover profile. ’60 is the new 40, or 70 is the new 50. It keeps getting pushed. But you have to keep the stress down and the attitude hot.”
Amen auntie! Read more of Angela Bassett’s awesome exclusive with Allure magazine. Check it out online now on Allure’s website.

A Wrinkle in Time
So why should young girls and boys flock to go see Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time? The film’s award-winning director, Ava DuVernay, hit us with all the details as well as several fascinating reasons. From it’s significance in the continuance of pushing for more diversity in Hollywood; to it’s pure relatable premise. Ava says,
“Look closely. That’s a girl. A girl of color. Saving the universe. Heroes come in all shapes and colors and walks of life.
In fact, heroes look just like you, reading this right now. Something to remember in these trying times. Our hero played impeccably by Storm [also appeared] on the Barnes and Noble exclusive Wrinkle in Time cover [which hit] stores on October 3rd (2017) in advance of the film’s March 9 release.
[Nevertheless] the first image I had in my mind was to place a brown girl in the role of Meg. A girl traveling to different planets and encountering beings and situations that I’d never seen a girl of color in. I was interested in that and in a heroine that looked like the girls I grew up with.
[My daughter] Mali. She’s the true reason I made Wrinkle in Time. So she could see a girl with brown skin and eclectic tastes who is the brightest star in the universe. Just like her.”
Simply amazing! However, now that you know why the film was made and got to see some gorgeous red carpet fashion. Scroll on to learn 5 other super cool Wrinkle in Time facts!
A Wrinkle in Time- It’s A Barbie Baby!
Oh baby yeah! Wrinkle in Time is not just an amazing movie about to be released. The new Disney flick has also produced a collection of Barbie dolls based on the film’s inspiring characters.
There are dolls for Mrs. Which (played by Oprah Winfrey), Mrs. Whatsit (played by Reese Witherspoon) and Mrs. Who (played by Mindy Kaling). Lead actress Storm Reid says she’s, “In love with the new Wrinkle in Time dolls. My Mrs.’s look incredible, strong, and fierce.”
Nonetheless, Reid is not alone. Director Ava DuVernay is also proud and excited over the dolls. Regarding them she mentions,
“When Disney makes Barbies of your movie’s characters and you just want to stare at them all day in disbelief; because you loved Barbies as a girl but never had any like these.”
Isn’t that the truth! However, want one of these dolls or want to gift someone with one? The dolls are now available for purchase and you can find them online at Toys R’ Us, Walmart as well as shopdisney.com. Each Doll retails for between $50-$55.
A Wrinkle in Time- Her-story in the Making
Did you know the making of this very movie marked a huge achievement in Hollywood history? Many are not aware. However, with A Wrinkle in Time, Ava is the first woman of color to direct a $100 million film.
Sad, yet a reason to still be happy. Upward movement means more opportunities in the future. Furthermore, with the wild success of Disney’s Black Panther; black directors are steadily showcasing that their skills can pull in the big bucks too. Black Panther alone broke several box office records and made over $700 million dollars in just a mere 10 days.
Nevertheless, what does DuVernay have to say about this movie milestone? In a true display of humility, Ava pays respects to the many black directors that helped pave the way. Speaking on being the first black female director of a 100 million budget movie she states,
“Not the first woman of color capable. Not by a long shot. This should have happened a long time ago with Julie Dash; or Euzhan Pacly or Kathleen Collins or Neema Barnette. We need more. And more. And more.
More voices. More kinds and creeds and colors of filmmakers. Thanks to Disney for making it so. And saluting my sister filmmakers. Onward for all of us.”
A Wrinkle in Time- Sade Plays a Part!
Well, not in the film itself, but will be apart of the movie’s soundtrack. The sultry singer’s melodic voice can be heard during an original song. How did Sade come to be apart of this Disney movie’s music? Looks like Ava once again worked her magic!
Recently, DuVernay took to social media to reveal the Sade news to fans. On the Twitter platform she revealed,
“I never thought she’d say yes, but I asked anyway. She was kind and giving. A goddess. We began a journey together that I’ll never forget.
Proud to announce that Sade has created an original song for a Wrinkle in Time. It’s entitled, “Flower of the Universe.” And it’s a dream come true.“
A Wrinkle in Time- So it’s a Classic
What is now a film, started off as a book. Wrinkle in Time was penned by author, Madeleine L’Engle. The book was originally released back in 1962. Moreover, L’Engle was an American writer known for not only A Wrinkle in Time but it’s sequels such as A Wind in the Door.
The story of Meg and her brother Charles evolves around a tesseract. A tesseract is a “wrinkle in time.” In the book, a visitor from another realm and dimension interrupts Meg, her brother and mother thus leading the children to begin an exciting quest. We’ll stop there so as not to spoil anything; but knowing that there are additional books in the series; we are confident that if this film is successive Disney will bring the subsequent story lines to life as well.
A Wrinkle in Time- Time Travel That Will Make You Want to Travel
Big budget films means cool effects, A-list actors and of course being able to shoot at some of the most eye-popping locales around the globe! In order to achieve dramatic, unforgettable scenery and visuals the cast took a few trips.
Where did they go? Locations were scouted throughout mesmerizing New Zealand as well as the infamous Redwood Forest in northern California. Ava describes sights that took her breath away. She mentions, “lakes are so blue they look like crystal clear pool water. Everywhere you turn there is some new jewel of nature –just shining, being gorgeous.” Man, now we really want to see this film even more! Therefore, don’t forget to go see it with all your friends when it drops March 9th.
