No one does a photo booth quite like Molly Shannon.
As HBO rolled out the white carpet for “The White Lotus” premiere in Los Angeles Wednesday evening, the funnywoman was spotted soaking up the spotlight at the event’s photo booth, taking solo shots and photos with everyone who asked her.
While guests searched for their own photos on an iPad, there was a noticeable abundance of snaps featuring the 56-year-old actress, who wore a bright pink dress to the lavish soirée.
Also spotted taking advantage of the photo booth was John Stamos, who noshed on fries as the photographer took photos of him with wife Caitlin McHugh.
HBO spared no expense on one of its first events back after the COVID-19 pandemic, holding the premiere of the Hawaiian resort show at the Bel-Air Bay Club in LA’s ritzy Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
Guests including Jennifer Coolidge, Connie Britton, Sydney Sweeney, Steve Zahn, Natasha Rothwell, Murray Bartlett and Alexandra Daddario snacked on fresh sushi, caviar and slices of pizza ahead of the premiere screening. Personalized embroidered robes were also stitched on-site as partygoers sipped champagne.
While introducing the show, creator Mike White joked, “HBO is like that hot on-and-off girlfriend, who one minute you’re making sweet love to her and the next eating alone and they don’t show up … and then they gaze their loving eyes on you, and you’re like, ‘All is forgiven.’ It’s worth it.”
He added, “I hope you guys like the show. I’m not going to watch. I’ll be down there, and if I’m, like, flat on my face in the grass when you come out for the party, pick me up. I’ll rally.”
“The White Lotus,” which premieres Sunday at 8 p.m. ET, follows a group of guests and employees at a tropical resort over the span of a week.
