Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington turned heads on Monday night (August 11) as he stepped onto the red carpet in an unexpectedly casual look—pairing jeans with his signature laid-back confidence. The Hollywood legend attended the premiere of his latest film, Highest 2 Lowest, held at BAMcafe in Brooklyn, N.Y., opting for comfort over the traditional black-tie attire.
Washington was joined by a star-studded cast including A$AP Rocky, Ice Spice, Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, Dean Winters, LaChanze, Elijah Wright, and Rosie Perez. Director Spike Lee, a longtime collaborator and friend of Washington, was also in attendance, adding extra New York energy to the night.
‘Highest 2 Lowest,’ produced by Apple TV+, tells the story of a titan music mogul (played by Washington)—celebrated for having “the best ears in the business”—who becomes the target of a ransom plot, forcing him into a gripping moral crossroads. The film blends high-stakes drama with a pulse on the music industry, promising tension, twists, and powerhouse performances.
The movie will premiere in theaters on August 15 before making its streaming debut on Apple TV+ on September 5. The official trailer, already generating buzz online, teases a mix of crime thriller and emotional depth, with Washington anchoring the film in his signature commanding style.
