Another busy week brought plenty of reasons for Hollywood to step out. Red carpets, trailer launches, television premieres and live performances kept the calendar full, with stars making appearances from New York and Los Angeles to London and Newport.

One of the week’s biggest gatherings celebrated the upcoming release of Children of Blood and Bone, where Gina Prince-Bythewood joined Thuso Mbedu, Tosin Cole, Regina King, Lashana Lynch and Lena Waithe for the film’s trailer launch. Diarra From Detroit also welcomed its cast to Los Angeles ahead of the second season, with Issa Rae, Kenya Barris, Yvonne Orji and Jay Ellis showing their support.

Music had its share of standout appearances as well. Shaboozey performed on Today, Leon Thomas III brought his talents to the Newport Jazz Festival, and Vince Staples treated fans to a special appearance at the GRAMMY Museum. Meanwhile, Zendaya, Michael B. Jordan and Tramell Tillman celebrated Spider-Man: Brand New Day at the premiere in Los Angeles.

Take a look at this week’s best celebrity sightings below.
