After a jam-packed day of getting into character, the women couldn’t have looked any happier setting that aside for a bit of girl time.  

Gabrielle carried a small cup of ice water, ensuring she remained hydrated throughout her busy day of work.    

Based on the best-selling book of the same name by Tia Williams, the movie will be directed by Numa Perrier, whose directorial debut Jezebel premiered in 2019 at SXSW.

Gabrielle will be playing a woman named Jenna Jones who is beginning a new job in beauty journalism, according to Deadline

However, things start to go awry when she discovers her new boss Darcy is her frenemy. 

Further complicating matters is Jenna’s new relationship with Eric, the company videographer who is also Darcy’s son.   

Gabrielle threw herself into the role of Jenna as she filmed scenes with her co-stars, while dressed in a flowing orange-red tank top and floral print midnight blue trousers.   

The actress’ look was finished off with large, clear sunglasses.

Overall, the day must have been a welcome distraction for La La, who has recently divorced her husband Carmelo Anthony. 

Sources told TMZ that La La had been separated from Carmelo for some time, but they remain friends and everything about the divorce ‘is amicable.’

The pair share their teen son Kiyan, whom they are making a priority as they try to make a smooth transition from estranged spouses to coparents.

Meanwhile, Gabrielle has been married to former NBA player Dwyane Wade since 2014. The couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Kaavia who was born via surrogate, in 2018.
