While promoting Trolls in 2016, Anna Kendrick made a stylish appearance on Extra TV—and couldn’t help fangirling over co-star Justin Timberlake’s musical talent.
Interviewed by Mario Lopez at Universal Studios Hollywood, the Pitch Perfect actress shared what it was like to watch Timberlake record in the studio, describing the experience as “like watching Jackie Chan do a fight scene.”
But it wasn’t just her anecdotes that turned heads—Anna brought autumn-ready sophistication in a floral leather skirt and silk top by Tanya Taylor, finishing the look with rich suede Stella Luna pumps.
