Cristin Milioti Wore Lanvin To The 2025 Academy Museum Gala

Cristin Milioti instantly stopped me in my tracks when she graced the red carpet at the 2025 Academy Museum Gala.

The Black Mirror actress wore a custom Peter Copping for Lanvin gown crafted from grey metallic liquid organza — a fabric I will never tire of admiring. There’s something hypnotic about the way it reflects light, almost like a still pond disturbed by a single ripple, catching movement in the subtlest, most mesmerising way. It’s futuristic without losing its sense of softness, and architectural without appearing heavy.

The off-the-shoulder neckline perfectly framed Cristin’s décolletage, while the column silhouette created that statuesque fluidity designers dream of achieving when working with this kind of material. It’s simple on paper, but the craftsmanship is anything but — you can practically see the precision in every curve and contour.

Her styling was in tune with the gown’s sleek energy with diamond earrings by A.Jaffe and a diamond V ring by Akillis Paris added just the right amount of icy brilliance.

While Carey Mulligan’s Armani Privé metallic liquid dress from the 2024 SAG Awards will always remain the gold standard — literally and figuratively — Cristin’s Lanvin look comes impressively close.

Stylist: Bailey Moon.
