“It was actually one of the most insane experiences of my life,” says Chase Infiniti. The 25-year-old actor is still riding a wave of adrenaline from the prior night’s premiere of her new movie, “One Battle After Another.” She stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Teyana Taylor, Benicio Del Toro and Regina Hall in the Paul Thomas Anderson film, which lands in theaters on Sept. 26.
For the film’s Los Angeles premiere, Infiniti was dressed in a Louis Vuitton custom champagne halter embroidered gown and platform sandals, by stylists Wayman and Micah, with hair by Coree Moreno and makeup by Amber Dreadon.

“I got ready at my hotel and my team was so great at creating a very calm environment and making sure that I felt supported. I just tried to stay calm in my hotel room as much as possible,” Infiniti said. “I had my family pop in right at the end, and we kind of had a little celebration toast.”
