Celebrities at the 2025 Franca Fund Gala
There were more celebrities who joined Tessa Thompson and Natalia Vodianova on the red carpet for the 2025 Franca Fund Gala at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha on Sunday.
Classic, But Still Pom
Pom Klementieff, whose style comfortably sits in the “fashion wildcard” category, struck that sweet balance in her Armani Privé Fall 2025 velvet bow-accent suit. It’s elegant, structured and undeniably Armani, yet it doesn’t erase her style personality. For someone who can veer into editorial extremes, this was smart, considered refinement rather than a style surrender.
Archivist-in-Chief
Miuccia Prada dove back into the Prada archives once again to create Anna Wintour’s floral silk dress — this print hails from the Fall/Winter 2003 runway but originated in the 1960 Holliday & Brown archives. This is classic Anna territory: patterned, and layered with signature necklaces and complete with those Manolos. I love this how amplified this colour is, but I wish she would take off those sunglasses.
Chanel Déjà Vu
You should instantly recognise Gisele Bündchen’s sparkling black Chanel Spring 2026 dress — Sofia Coppola debuted it two weeks ago at the MoMA Film Benefit. On Gisele, it reads sleeker, more statuesque considering her height and presence. The look was paired with Chanel Fine Jewellery including the Comète necklace. Same dress, entirely different energy.
Sister Act
For their second night a row, Lady Eliza Spencer and Lady Amelia Spencer delivered a coordinated showcase — this time in opulent gowns by Indian designer Manish Malhotra and jewels from Chopard. Both looks fall squarely into the “red carpet opulence” category, but Lady Eliza’s silver scalloped gown with emerald earrings edges ahead for me.
Feathers & Frosting
Precious Lee dazzled in a Self-Portrait rhinestone feather midi dress paired with Jimmy Choo Oriana chain-embellished sandals. It’s playful, glamorous, and entirely suited to Precious’ fun personality.
Regal in Orange
Regina King brought a stately sense of ease in a Jean Louis Sabaji one-shouldered draped gown. The colour is vibrant, the draping is fluid, and she carries it with the kind of assurance only Regina can deliver.
