Tiffany Boone waited a long time to walk the red carpet at Mufasa: The Lion King's Dec. 9 premiere in Los Angeles.
"Three years of working on this project, it's been a real labor of love," she tells me on the phone the morning after the movie's debut at the Dolby Theater. Her gown for the evening, a sculpted Balmain stunner coated in stripes of blue, yellow, and red beads, was the reward of her patience paying off. "To be able to walk out feeling confident and feeling, regal like the queen that I'm playing...I feel really lucky that we were able to bring all of the pieces together and still tie it back to the film."
