On Instagram, Soberano shared a few photos of herself looking incredibly stunning as she attended the international premiere night of the Hollywood film with her cast members.
“What a special night the Lisa Frankenstein premiere was! I’m so incredibly honored to be around amazing talent and even better human beings! I’m so proud of this wonderfully bonkers film we made that was born out of love for horror/comedy and a passion for storytelling,” wrote Soberano, whose role as Taffy was well received.
In the comments section, Evangelista expressed support for Soberano, commending her courage to make a power move for her career despite the risk.
“Carving out her own path. This is power! [I’m] proud of you, Liza,” wrote Evangelista. “You went against the flow of the usual norm. The risk of not getting anyone’s approval and still going for what’s in your heart, go for it!”
The fashionista also congratulated Soberano’s team, adding, “The spotlight is on you for everyone to see,” Evangelista herself is a product of big dreams as she conquers the fashion world internationally.
