Last night, Lincoln Center was the place to be as the highly anticipated Piece by Piece movie premiere hit the red carpet, celebrating the iconic life of Pharrell Williams in a way we’ve never seen before. The energy was electric from the start, with influencers, celebrities, and those involved in the film all showing out.
The red carpet was filled with familiar faces, and let me tell you, it was a star-studded lineup: The Clipse, Teddy Riley, N.O.R.E, Aldis Hodge, Tammy Lucas, Mimi Valdez, and A$AP Ferg were just some of the big names that came through. The vibe was celebration mixed with admiration for Pharrell’s incredible journey, brought to life in a groundbreaking biopic.
And let’s talk about the movie itself. Directed by Morgan Neville, this film is something fresh and unexpected. Pharrell’s story is told through the lens of Lego animation (yes, Lego). It’s honestly wild, but it works. Pharrell, being the visionary he is, made sure this wasn’t just another music biopic. You’ve got an all-star voice cast too—Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, and Snoop Dogg all came together to make it happen.
Before the screening, Neville kicked off the night on stage, giving us some behind-the-scenes insight on how Piece by Piece started with corporate agreements—because you know Pharrell doesn’t just do anything regular. Then Pharrell himself took the mic and gave us a heartfelt moment, acknowledging the whole room. He spoke about how this film is about doing the impossible, but he made sure to give special shout-outs, especially to Tammy Lucas. Pharrell credited Tammy for teaching him how to write music, melodies, lyrics—everything. It was a moment that showed how deeply he respects the people who helped him become who he is.
The premiere wasn’t just about the movie though—it was an experience. Popcorn was served up, and Evian was on deck for everyone to stay refreshed (because hydration is key, right?).
Piece by Piece is already a major moment in pop culture, and seeing Pharrell's life told through this creative lens? It’s definitely something that’ll resonate with his fans for years to come.
