Last night in Manhattan, Prime Video rolled out the red carpet at the Museum of Modern Art for the New York premiere of The Better Sister. Among the glittering crowd, actor and model Mychal-Bella Bowman made sure to mark the occasion in style—and celebrate the end of her business trip.
Premiere Night At Moma
On May 20, Bowman joined the film’s cast under MoMA’s soaring glass atrium, dazzling in a tailored ensemble by Emilio Pucci. Footage captured by New Vision/Getty shows her beaming alongside co-stars and industry friends. In an Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ6_WAFJM6C/), she wrote, “New York owes me nothing! Ended my business trip with some. Entire cast was phenomenal! Lights camera action! Big thanks for having the kid!”
Prime Video’s thriller, directed by Tracy Nail, follows two sisters whose bond is tested by ambition and betrayal. Bowman’s caption underscored the warmth and energy on set, hinting at the camaraderie that keeps audiences hooked.
Cast Chemistry Steals The Show
Critics and fans alike have praised the ensemble’s tight performances. Emily Pucci, who plays the older sibling, shared backstage snapshots of the duo exchanging quips before takeoff. Tracy Nail—wearing her signature slicked-back bun—thanked the team in a post on her own story, calling the night “electric.”
While the plot delves into family secrets, last night’s mood was all celebration. Carlo Bernard, the film’s producer, toasted the group in a brief speech: “This cast brought every scene to life. Proud to show it here in New York.” Moments later, the audience rose for a standing ovation as the credits rolled at the press screening.
Beyond The Red Carpet
Balancing her on-screen work with off-screen commitments, Bowman recently spent a day at #RED headquarters in Manhattan. In an earlier Instagram share (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ3Fpfau8L5/), she teased “today’s office… stay tuned,” alongside photos of meetings on global health initiatives. The post underscored her growing role as a humanitarian and public relations advocate, managed by MBI Management.
Just days before the premiere, Bowman also attended a private tasting in Brooklyn with Chef Eric LeVine—winner of Chopped and James Beard nominee—at Evolution Tastings inside 42Hotel NYC. She praised the culinary journey, noting “presentation” and “smoke salmon” as highlights, blending her passion for film with a flair for epicurean adventures.
Style On And Off Screen
At MoMA, Bowman chose minimal accessories to let her Pucci dress shine: a slim Jennifer Fisher cuff and pointed heels. Makeup artist Mychal Bella (@mychalbella) kept her look fresh with dewy skin and a glossy lip. Hair stylist Tracy Nailsss (@tracynailssss) described the vibe as “timeless meets modern.”
For beauty enthusiasts, Bowman’s skincare routine is no secret. Her brand, Basics By Mychal Skincare, was spotlighted in an Instagram Story last week, where she shared a glimpse of her morning ritual—hydrating mist, gentle serum and SPF. The combination of acting, advocacy and entrepreneurship has quickly positioned her as a lifestyle influencer.
Looking Ahead
With The Better Sister set to stream on Prime Video next month, Bowman will be transitioning from red carpets to press junkets. She’s lined up interviews in Los Angeles and London, promising fans a deeper dive into her role. Back in New York, she left one final note on Instagram: “Took the show on the road #newyorkminute,” hinting at new projects on the horizon.
Bowman’s appearance at the MoMA premiere capped off a whirlwind of professional milestones—from global health meetings to high-end tasting menus—proving she can shine both on and off screen. The Better Sister may test family bonds on film, but behind the scenes, teamwork and passion remain front and center.
