A year after she left New York in the wake of a breakup and a career implosion that made tabloid headlines, The Perfect Find’s Jenna Jones (Gabrielle Union) is ready to start over. So what if that means working as an online fashion editor at Darzine for her career nemesis Darcy Hill (Gina Torres)? So what if her ex Brian (D.B. Woodside) is still living the life they were meant to share? At this point, Jenna can handle anything — that is, except falling head over heels for a much younger man. Cue Eric Hill (Keith Powers), Darcy’s son and a videographer at Darzine, who slowly but surely sweeps Jenna off her feet.

What she has to say about transforming into Jenna Jones: “[On] my journey to finding Jenna, I went down a rabbit hole of Black women in fashion who’ve pivoted in some way. We talked about the biggest obstacles in the fashion world, where they found inspiration to keep going and how they claimed their space. From there, it was a surrender to Jenna’s style, from the power bob that she wears in the film to the eyewear, to the reimagining of corporate couture.”
