‘The Odyssey’ Journeys to New York, Anya Taylor-Joy Debuts ‘Lucky’ and This Week’s Best Events
This is a Hollywood Reporter photo gallery rounding up celebrity red carpet premieres, screenings and social events from the week of 21 July 2026, rather than a single news story. It highlights high-profile film and TV launches in New York and Los Angeles, including Universal's epic The Odyssey and Apple's Lucky, alongside charity galas, restaurant anniversaries and sporting honours attended by A-list stars.
Notable appearances include Charlize Theron, Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong'o and Zendaya at The Odyssey's NYC premiere, and Anya Taylor-Joy with Reese Witherspoon at the Lucky premiere in L.A.
