Hollywood’s biggest names gathered in Los Angeles on November 7 for the annual LACMA Art+Film Gala, and the red carpet turned into its own fashion event.
From archival couture to unexpected animal prints, this year’s guests brought some of the weekend’s most talked-about looks.
Kylie Jenner arrived wearing a fitted Ashi Studio gown covered in shimmering deer-inspired spots. The brown and silver design featured an open back and a dramatic decorative tassel, giving the outfit an unusual twist on the animal-print trend.
And while leopard print has dominated fashion conversations for years, Kylie’s look introduced a softer alternative.
Anya Taylor-Joy took a completely different approach.
The actress wore a vintage Pierre Cardin bridal look from the designer’s Spring 1997 haute couture collection, combining a silver dress with an elaborate organza coat.
Nicole Kidman also embraced the evening’s artistic atmosphere in Chanel, wearing a textured bodice and a voluminous tulle skirt inspired by classical ballet imagery.
But the event wasn’t only about celebrity outfits.
The fifteenth annual gala celebrated filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, known for Dune, and visual artist Vija Celmins.
Gucci returned as the evening’s presenting sponsor, with several guests wearing the Italian fashion house.
BLACKPINK’s Rosé also performed during the event, bringing another major pop culture moment to the evening.
The gala raises money to support the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s exhibitions, educational programmes and film-related initiatives.
Still, for everyone following from Instagram, the biggest discussion was happening on the red carpet.
Between Kylie’s deer print, Anya’s vintage couture and Nicole’s sculptural Chanel look, the night offered three completely different approaches to fashion.
And one question remains: which outfit would you actually wear?
