The Cast of Insecure Is Almost Always Having More Fun Than You

by Lauren McCarthy

In case you hadn’t already gleaned from last week’s Coachella episode, the cast of HBO’s Insecure knows how to have a good time. And it’s not all smoke and mirrors—even when the cameras aren’t rolling, the cast always seems like they are having a damn good point. Take, for example, last weekend’s Emmy Awards, when Issa Rae, Yvonne Orji, and newcomer Kendrick Sampson took to the weekend’s many parties, leaving a trail of FOMO in their dust. Also this week, Emma Stone and Jonah Hill premiered their new Netflix series Maniac, and Harry Winston toasted their new collection with help from Naomi Watts and Katie Holmes, as well as a surprise performance from Jennifer Hudson. Here, go inside the best parties of the week.
