Nik Richie joined a smattering of celebs and hit the red carpet for one of the most anticipated films of the year, "Midnight in the Switchgrass," the directorial debut of Randall Emmett. The crime thriller stars some big Hollywood names, including Megan Fox, Bruce Willis, Emile Hirsch, Lukas Haas, Machine Gun Kelly and Lydia Hull. It also features Randall Emmett's wife, 30-year-old "Vanderpump Rules" star, Lala Kent.

It was a big night for Randall Emmett and Lala, as "Midnight in the Switchgrass" proved to be quite difficult during filming, which primarily took place in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, production was shut down more than once due to issues during the height of the COVID pandemic, but Randall was able to keep the trains rolling and deliver a finished film.

Nik's Night Out

It was also a big night for Nik Richie, as it was his first L.A. event since the split from his wife, Shayne Lamas. Giving off vibes that some dubbed the "Persian Leonardo DiCaprio," Nik commanded a presence on the red carpet with his Hollywood-casual look of a white button-up and black baseball hat.

"Thank you for getting me out of the house," Nik commented to Lala and Randall in his Instagram post. The CEO of CelebMagazine is also due to appear on the reality couple's podcast this week, "Give Them Lala.. With Randall."

No Megan Fox

Although many of the film's stars attended the premiere, Megan Fox was not one of them. The controversial actress bowed out of attending the premiere last minute, citing rising COVID concerns in L.A. as the reason for not showing up.

"Due to the recent California mask mandate and rise of COVID cases, Megan Fox will no longer be attending the premiere tonight," a statement from the former "Transformers" actress read.

The absence of Fox was probably disappointing for the attending media, as "Midnight in the Switchgrass" really brought to light the romance between the actress and co-star, Machine Gun Kelly.

Sly's Daughter

Although Megan Fox was not there, the red carpet was still full of beautiful faces, including Sylvester Stallone's daughter, 23-year-old Sistine Stallone. Without many of the heavy-hitters in attendance, Sistine stole the show in a green mini-dress with gold accessories. After the premiere, Sistine took to Instagram to show off her smoldering look and it's clear being a star runs in the family.
