LOS ANGELES (Feb. 4, 2026) – Actress McKenna Grace spoke about her experiences filming "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping," including working with Glenn Close, at the Dior Addict Sweet Shop Party on Monday.

The collection features 22 different t-shirt styles inspired by the Hogwarts Houses, characters, and symbols, according to Variety.
