Oprah‘s swanky star-studded soiree was held at the Sunset Tower Hotel in honor of the series’s executive producer and star, David Oyelowo. While Lawmen: Bass Reeves – which is a six-episode series that tells the story of the legendary first Black U.S. Deputy Marshals west of the Mississippi who escaped slavery – already premiered on November 5, there was no opportunity to really celebrate because of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
So, while delayed a few weeks, the event seemed like a homecoming of Black celebrity excellence. Oprah looked to “raise a glass” to David for the historic project. The event included music, dancing, and mingling around a beautiful outside pool area of the hotel.

David, Lupita, and others dazzled in front of a black and gold step and repeat when entering the party. Additional celebrities spotted include Gayle King, Niecy Nash, and “Insecure” stars Yvonne Orji, and Tosin Morohunfola.
