Johnny Depp walked the London red carpet for Ebenezer on Thursday, November 9 — a global premiere at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square that marked his first major public outing since the trial fallout. The film, a reimagining of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, was screened in front of an audience that included co-stars and industry figures, though no official word on distribution or release windows has surfaced yet.

Depp’s presence was notable not just for its rarity, but for the quiet confidence he carried, a stark contrast to the media frenzy that followed his recent legal battles. He wore a tailored coat and kept his expression neutral, speaking only briefly during a post-screening Q&A. No mention of future projects was made.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian turned heads in Los Angeles two days prior, arriving at the LACMA Art+Film Gala in a Gucci gown that drew attention for its sheer drama. The event, hosted by the museum and backed by Gucci, saw Nicole Kidman and Javier Ambrossi among the attendees. In New York, Sarah Paulson and Glenn Close lit up the red carpet for the All’s Fair Season 2 premiere, while Allison Janney shone in a Christian Siriano gown at the CFDA Awards.

Back in LA, Jordan Firstman and Benito Skinner attended a Club Kid Q&A, and Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer were spotted at a Paramount+ event for The Madison. The week ended with Justin Hartley at a Disney screening in Munich. But it was Depp’s return to the spotlight, low-key, unannounced, and without fanfare, that set the tone.

No press conference. No interviews. Just a film, a city, and a man stepping back into view.
