Suits L.A. centers on Ted Black (Stephen Amell), a former federal prosecutor from New York, who has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles after joining forces with his old buddy Stuart Lane (Josh McDermitt) to build Black Lane Law, which specializes in criminal and entertainment law.

The firm is at a crisis point and to survive Ted must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career. He is surrounded by a group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives. All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel, leading Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved.

Lex Scott Davis, Bryan Greenberg and Troy Winbush also star.

Amos is playing himself as a client at Ted’s firm who also has a longstanding friendship with Ted. Justice is playing Dylan Pryor, a young movie star who’s confident and ambitious. She’s on the way up and looking to be represented by Ted. Weisman is playing Lester Thompson, a smart and powerful man who is used to getting his way. He’s just been charged with murder and has to listen to others to stay out of prison.

The key to making the most of Coachella is preparation. Not sure where to get started? Victoria Justice is here to help. From her go-to beauty must-haves she’s been using for years to her ultimate self-care essentials for those moments of relaxation amidst the excitement, Victoria has you covered.

In an exclusive E! interview, Victoria opens up about releasing new music, navigating her 30s, and teaming up with International Delight. Victoria’s insights are just what you need for Coachella and beyond.

E!: You always stun at coachella. What are your tips for creating the perfect, unique festival look?
VJ: I would say for Coachella, anything goes. The brightest, craziest colors, patterns and prints, anything you want to do. Just go for it and have fun with it. It’s also so important to wear shoes that you’re comfortable in because of all the walking!

E!: What are you looking forward to from Coachella 2024?
VJ: This year at Coachella, my go-to spot to beat the heat and find shade will be at the International Delight Cold Foam House. I’m so excited to partner with International Delight this year. They’re bringing an immersive multisensory flavor experience to festival grounds.

E!: Do you have any plans to releasing more music. Are there hints you can give your fans about what we can look forward to?
VJ: Yes, absolutely. My focus is on music right now and I will be releasing new music very soon! As far as musical direction, I feel like I’m always going to stay true lyrically and sonically to what feels authentic to me. I have a song coming out that’s very, you know, stripped down with guitar and vibey, and one that’s dancier. Sonically, it still sounds like me and under the pop umbrella, but lyrically they’re all very honest and true to where I’m at.

E!: Do you have any goals you would like to achieve in your 30s? What are you most looking forward to in the rest of your 30s?
VJ: I would like to put out a full length album, that’s a goal of mine. I want to make more movies and do more acting projects that I think are cool and stretch me in different ways. And traveling more, definitely something I want to do! I’m really looking forward to being a mom— which sounds so crazy, and starting my own family eventually.

E!: What makes you smile the most? What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received that has helped inspire you in your journey?
VJ: Friends & family make me smile the most. And also the people who have been supporting me for a long time definitely make me smile, with the love that they’ve shown me over the years consistently. I wanna make them proud. They mean a lot to me. Music, art, fashion, being in nature, and good food all make me smile. Best advice, I would say is “Stay true to you. Follow your own gut and own intuition.”

The thriller stars actress and singer Victoria Justice (The Tutor), model and actress Devon Ross (Irma Vep), Taylor John Smith (Where The Crawdads Sing), Sasha Luss (Anna) and Dermot Mulroney (Hanna).
