Celebrities at The 2026 LACMA Art+Film Gala

Here is a roundup of the remaining looks from the 2026 LACMA Art+Film Gala on Saturday evening, honouring artist Vija Celmins and filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. From vintage favourites to couture gowns, there were some beautiful looks, although a few could have benefited from a final fitting or a different shoe choice.

Old Hollywood Calling

With the season six press tour for Emily in Paris on the horizon, Ashley Park gave us a reminder of what she brings to the red carpet in this Atelier Prabal Gurung Resort 2027 gown. The black-and-white satin has a classic Old Hollywood glamour that wouldn’t look out of place on a 1950s film star. I just wish she had worn her highest platforms to give the hemline some lift. Chopard emerald-and-diamond jewellery completed her look.

Pretty In Pink

Brittany Snow opted for a gorgeous pink Ralph Lauren Spring 2004 dress, which, much like the Donna Karan archives, never seems to age. Simple, elegant and a reminder of just how good Ralph Lauren’s eveningwear can be. Buccellati diamond jewellery completed her look.

Styled by Yael Quint.

So Close To Perfect

My feelings about Chloe Kim’s Prabal Gurung Fall 2026 gown are much the same as Ashley’s. The rich purple colour and sculptural silhouette are gorgeous, but the skirt is simply too long.

Sugar Rush

Jessica Williams wore the most Jessica Williams dress imaginable in this Phan Huy Fall 2026 Couture creation. She loves a sugary fashion moment, and the pearl embellishments, lace and full skirt deliver exactly that.

One More Fitting, Please

I love Julia Garner, and I love Loewe, but this strapless taffeta gown needed one more fitting to get the length right. It’s frustrating because the asymmetric neckline is so good.

At least those statement earrings offer a welcome distraction from the hemline.

An Unexpected Combination

When it comes to styling Madelaine Petsch’s Georges Hobeika Spring 2027 dress, the black Casadei Superblade Tiffany pumps wouldn’t have been my first choice, but they do work with the bodice.

Styled by Siena Montesano.

Natasha Poonawalla wears an archival Gucci by Tom Ford Fall 2004 lime-green sequinned gown with a matching fur-trimmed wrap at the 2026 LACMA Art+Film Gala.

Green With Envy

Natasha Poonawalla went into the Gucci by Tom Ford Fall 2004 archives for this lime-green gown. The sequins are striking enough on their own, but the matching wrap takes the look to another level. There’s a glamour here that feels like it belongs to another era, in the best possible way. But it’s the colour, above all else, that makes this such a standout for me.

Olivia Munn wears a vintage Mugler black velvet strapless gown with a sculpted sweetheart neckline and Asprey London diamond necklace at the LACMA Gala.

Vintage Velvet

Olivia Munn opted for vintage Mugler, and I’m completely sold on the sculpted neckline of this black velvet gown. The Asprey London Storm diamond necklace was a beautiful way to amplify the glamour.

Quinta Brunson wears a black Gucci midi dress with a plunging draped neckline, Giuseppe Zanotti sandals and Gabriel & Co. jewellery at the LACMA Gala.

Keeping It Simple

Quinta Brunson kept things simple in a draped black Gucci dress, styled with Giuseppe Zanotti heels and Gabriel & Co. jewellery. I appreciate the simplicity, and the sandals were absolutely the right choice.

Sofia Vergara wears a strapless black Celia Kritharioti lace gown with a fitted corset bodice and full-length lining at the 2026 LACMA Gala.

If It Ain’t Broke…

You may be rolling your eyes at Sofia Vergara wearing another black lace Celia Kritharioti gown, considering she’s been serving up variations of this silhouette for at least a decade, possibly two. But you can’t deny how fantastic she looks. The lining extending all the way to the hemline is another win for me.

Stella Maxwell wears a sheer white floral lace McQueen gown with an asymmetric neckline, visible black underwear and black pointed-toe shoes at the LACMA Gala.

The Wrong Underpinnings

All I can see when I look at Stella Maxwell in this white McQueen lace dress is her black underwear and black shoes, neither of which should have been worn with this look. The dress deserved better styling, particularly when the lace itself is so beautiful.
