Billie Eilish, Chloe Bailey and Dominique Fishback led the star-studded arrivals at the premiere of the new horror series Swarm on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
Eilish looked like punk perfection in a cool baggy getup while Bailey and Fishback stunned onlookers in glamorous gowns.
Swarm is comedian/rapper Donald Glover’s first-ever TV series with Amazon Studios and it’s centered around Dre (Fishback), a young woman whose obsession with her favorite singer turns deadly.
Bailey plays Dre’s concerned sister Marissa while Eilish is rumored to be playing the character Eva, though no details about the role have been revealed.
Glover is not only the series creator, but he’s also credited as an executive producer and directed Swarm’s premiere episode.
Eilish hit the red carpet in an oversized white button-up shirt and a skinny black tie reminiscent of Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong’s signature silhouette.
The 21-year-old hitmaker threw on baggy black pants and a classic Converse All Star sneakers to complete her edgy look.
The Happier Than Ever singer’s blue-black hair was worn down and her wispy fringe was bumped under to keep it out of her icy blue eyes.
She looked to be having a blast posing for the cameras as she threw up the ‘Rock On!’ sign before flashing a childish, toothy grin.
Bailey put on an ultra busty display while modeling a plunging gray faux leather dress with a zip up the front.
The daring dress had exaggerated hips, pointed shoulders, a choker-style neckline and a skirt that fell to the floor.
The singer-turned-actress, 24, wore her intricately braided brunette hair in a bun as to showcase her flawless makeup.
Leading lady Fishback, 31, stole the show as she arrived the big premiere in a glowing neon green dress.
It had a billowing high-low skirt and dramatic puff sleeves, while straps of fabric wound around the actress’ midriff.
Her braided hair fell to her waist and her eyes were lined with neon green liner.
Bailey and Glover doted on Fishback as they helped fluff up her skirt for the cameras in between shots.
The trio posed for a number of photos together with Glover standing in the middle with his arms wrapped around the actresses.
The director, 39, kept it monochromatic in head-to-toe pastel yellow including a stylish button-up sweater tucked into fleece pants.
He slipped his feet into leather loafers and threw on a few gold chains to bring the look together.
Glover brought his longtime girlfriend and the mother of his three children, Michelle White.
White looked stunning in a curve-clinging black wiggle dress styled with sky-high heels and a bold red lip.
The pair have been romantically linked since 2018 and have kept mostly quiet about the details of their relationship.
Damson Idris – who plays Dre’s boyfriend – looked ultra handsome in a fitted black suit with a matching dress shirt and shiny shoes.
Other attendees included: Michael Oloyede, Kiki Layne, Janine Nabers and Thuso Mbedu.
Swarm will debut on Amazon Prime Video starting Friday, March 17.
The horror-thriller is comprised of seven episodes, many of which were written by Glover’s co-creator Janine Nabers.
Glover’s brother Stephen Glover, as well as Kara Brown, Jamal Olori, Ibra Ake, Malia Ann and Karen Joseph Adcock, are also credited as writers.
The story is inspired by the intensity of online ‘fandoms’ and the bad rap they’ve received over the years for just how invested they are in a celebrity’s life — sometimes to the point of stalking and harassment.
Many believe that the show’s fictional pop star Ni’Jah is inspired by Beyonce and ‘Swarm’ is a direct nod to the Halo hitmaker’s fanbase, who call themselves the ‘Beyhive.’

Swarm premiered last week during SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas with a two-episode screening, according to THR.
Nabers spoke to attendees, warning them that ‘the show is propulsive’ and that audiences may either be ‘angry or really inspired’ after watching it.
As per THR, the first two episodes included graphic violence, naked bodies and ‘aggressive binge eating.’
Fishback previously confessed that she was initially ‘afraid’ to take on the role but she’s ‘very proud’ of the fact that she stepped outside her comfort zone.
