Often called the Met Gala of the West Coast, the fourth annual Academy Museum Gala was a dazzling event filled with Hollywood’s brightest stars, flaunting their jaw-dropping red carpet fashion.
Held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, this fundraiser supports cinema exhibits and public programming. Kim Kardashian, founder of ‘Skims,’ turned heads in an all-white Thierry Mugler corset paired with a matching maxi jacket draped over her shoulders. Her Cinderella-esque clear heels and a sparkling diamond Tiffany & Co necklace completed the look.
Kim wasn’t alone from the Kardashian clan; her younger sisters Kendall and Kylie were also present. Kylie chose a Thierry Mugler design like Kim, donning a nude sequin top with hip cutouts, exuding a sultry vibe. In contrast, Kendall opted for a more reserved look in a demure black Schiaparelli dress.
Sheryl Lee Ralph, famous for her memorable award speeches, stunned in a cream strapless Sophie Couture gown that flaunted her curves beautifully at 67. Another standout was Taraji P. Henson, who shone brightly in a gold Tamara Ralph gown with a strapless design and deep v-neckline, giving off major Diana Ross vibes.
Ava Duvernay and Davine Joy graced the event in Louis Vuitton. Duvernay looked sizzling in a red draped gown with a cowl neckline, while Joy embraced a more historical aesthetic with a cage crinoline giving her dress a distinct cylindrical shape.
Kerry Washington brought runway elegance to the Gala in a stunning black and white Carolina Herrera floral print dress, looking simply breathtaking. Quinta Brunson also impressed in a strapless houndstooth Carolina Herrera dress, perfectly on trend for the season.
Representing the fashionable men, Coleman Domingo and Dwayne Wade made quite an impression. Domingo, known for his sharp fashion sense and future role as the 2025 Met Gala co-chair, wore a standout black Valentino suit jacket with red pants and accessorized with black lace gloves adorned with diamond rings and bracelets. Wade looked equally dapper in a double-breasted suit featuring a silver embellished pen and tapered trousers. His wife, Gabrielle Union, complemented him perfectly in a midnight purple sequin Elie Saab gown, her Tiffany & Co jewels accentuating her stunning complexion. Together, they made a stylish duo.
