Here are some photos from last week’s premiere of Queen & Slim, the film written by Lena Waithe and directed by Melina Matsoukas (who directed some of Beyonce’s most iconic music videos). Queen & Slim looks SO GOOD. You can see the trailer here. The film marks the feature-film debut of Jodie Turner Smith, a young woman who has become something of a low-key tabloid/gossip interest because of her relationship with Joshua Jackson. Joshua and Jodie started dating this year, and they seemed to move very fast – from casual dating to engagement rumors within about five months. There were widespread reports – and even a seeming Instagram confirmation – that Jodie and Joshua did quietly marry back in August.
So, these photos are Jodie and Joshua’s first red carpet couple appearance. It’s a big deal and they look loved-up and he seems super-proud of his wife/girlfriend. People are making a big deal about how it appears that they’re wearing wedding rings too. Which is nice. I’m not going to make this into a huge thing but… it also appears that Jodie might be pregnant? Jodie was a model before she became an actress, and she had that model-trim figure. The dress is billowy for sure, but I’m pretty sure I spy a bump. We’ll see. In any case, congrats to them for all they’ve got going on this year.

She looks preggo to me! Good for them. I have always liked him.
Omg…their babies would be so beautiful. Jodie is a goddess 🙌❤️
I feel bad for speculating, but I see the outline of a gravid belly in the full frontal photo.
She’s beautiful. I think she’d really glow in warmer tones, rather than cooler. I picture this dress in a deep rose or garnet color…(chef’s kiss).
She is so insanely beautiful it’s unreal!!
She is absolutely stunning……….He is punching way above his weight!
YES !!!!
It is stupid how attractive Jodie is and I am pretty sure she is awesome as well. Don’t blame Joshua one bit for wanting a commitment.
I wonder how he was able to land a woman like that! mysteries of the world I guess LOL
I get his appeal. He can look sort of ordinary sometimes and then other times incredibly hot. He seems like he has a sense of humor and is a good guy.
I love them together. I cannot wait to see Queen & Slim. I wish them all of the happiness in the world.
I love Joshua Jackson, but what is going on with his hair here? It looks very strange in the front.
Jodie is absolutely gorgeous and what a cool dress. It is sort of a bizarre dress, imo, but she looks fantastic in it.
It’s a traditional Black hairstyle…called “Marcel Waves”…aka “Finger Waves”….and her’s are ON POINT!
Turtledove was commenting on Joshua’s hair, not Jodie’s. : )
And I would add that perhaps his hair looks a bit strange in front because it appears he is having some male pattern baldness on the sides, and his hair is naturally curly, and the longer part towards his forehead is curling in opposite directions. As a person with curly hair, I understand!
This movie looks amazing. I have a few that I cannot wait to see, and that are going to get me into the theatre rather than waiting to stream. Knives out, this, and a couple more. I do think the kind of work about to come out shows that Scorsese is wrong. Unfortunately, a couple of the probable great ones, star scarjo, and they wouldn’t if it weren’t for Marvel, so…maybe he does have a point. haha.
But yeah, this looks amazing!
I try not to stan any famous person too hard but I stan this beautiful couple. I saw these pictures last Friday and thought it looked like they were both wearing rings on THAT finger.
Queen and Slim looks amazing.
I and stanning them HARD!
How is it he looks hotter to me now than ever? Probably b/c of his stunning partner. Proximity hotness!
This couple… ❤️❤️❤️ He is hot… she is stunning…they look amazing together. I dont like speculating about pregnancy in general but if she is…that’s awesome and congrats. And congrats on the maybe/probably marriage as well!
I’ve always found Joshua Jackson very attractive. He’s “my type”. But he looks off here… Maybe a haircut and a shave would help? Jodie looks very beautiful (as usual) but I don’t love this dress, especially not with the bra peeking out. I too think she’s preggo. If so, congrats to them!
Their grooming/styling doesn’t match in fact he looks ill, perhaps getting over something, looks grey and tired to me. She looks fantastic
Yeah, I was thinking he looked like he was getting over a nasty flu or something. Sweaty, grey-pale (like NO blood in his face at all), dark circles under the eyes. He look like he doesn’t feel well and is just putting his face on for the event/to be there for his lady.
A) Her bone structure is out of this world amazing. B) They make a beautiful couple and look so happy C) This movie looks incredible and I can’t wait to see it
She definitely looks pregnant, and I don’t blame her one bit if so. I’d happily have one million of his babies. He’s so incredibly hot to me. She’s stunning too, I bet they have amazing sex, man I’m jealous!
He just screams sex to me, idk why! Like he would be an amazing lover.
She looks pregnant for sure. He looks a bit pasty in these photos but they’re a great looking couple. They seem super into each other.
This clammy-looking gent, must be working with something that we outside observers are no privy to. He landed a Diane Deuger, and now this stunningly beautiful woman. Her bone structure is off the charts and he on the other hand just looks like he has perpetually sweaty palms.
lol @ the sweaty palms comment!!!
some people jus have all the luck. his ex diane was stunning and looked regal during the time they were together.
Other 2 examples:
-Lisa Bonet and her ex and husband.
-that awful shady man Roger Vadim who married or romanced Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve, Jane Fonda and whole string of beauties.
Uhh Lisa Bonet is a TERRIBLE example because she is STUNNING all on her own and always has been.
She is GORGEOUS and definitely looks pregnant!
I didn’t see where they maybe got married? That Insta just said they liked each other a lot.
There was a photo that was around a couple of months back of them leaving a courthouse when you picked up marriage licenses.
She looks very old Hollywood glamorous with her hairstyle and outfit, I love it. I’ve always found Josh hot for some reason and she makes him even hotter.
hers’ is the face of modern beauty, of 21st century glamour. I just adore her.
