Anya Taylor-Joy, Salma Hayek and More Stars at the 2026 LACMA Art + Film Gala
A look at the evening’s standout outfits
The 15th annual LACMA Art + Film Gala took place in Los Angeles, bringing together a host of celebrities from the worlds of film, music and fashion. Among the guests were Kim Kardashian, Salma Hayek, Alex Consani, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicole Kidman, Kylie Jenner and many other stars. Here is a look at some of the evening’s most striking outfits.
One of the standout appearances of the night was Anya Taylor-Joy in a vintage Pierre Cardin wedding gown from the designer’s 1997 collection. The silver dress featured a column silhouette, delicate straps and floral embroidery embellished with shimmering details. Its most distinctive feature was a long, sheer cape with voluminous, undulating ruffles that flowed from the shoulders all the way to the floor.
Gucci looks also attracted plenty of attention. Kim Kardashian opted for a floor-length burgundy gown entirely covered in sequins. Featuring a high neckline and long sleeves, the design made a bold statement with its side cut-outs and open back.
Alex Consani appeared in a black, asymmetrical strapless gown with a voluminous pleated skirt and an unusual wavy hemline.
Salma Hayek posed in a fitted red sequined dress featuring a one-shoulder neckline and elegant draping.
Emily Ratajkowski opted for a white dress with a plunging neckline and a high thigh slit.
Candice Swanepoel also chose Gucci, wearing a silver gown adorned with beaded fringe, a plunging V-neckline and high front slits.
The popularity of Gucci among the guests was no coincidence: the fashion house is one of the Art + Film Gala’s key partners and sponsors.
Nicole Kidman showcased a look by Chanel, pairing a fitted beige long-sleeved bodice with a voluminous white skirt made of several layers of tulle.
Kylie Jenner arrived in a floor-length chocolate-brown gown by Ashi Studio, featuring a shimmering texture, an off-the-shoulder design and a high neckline.
Singer ROSÉ made a striking appearance in a black Saint Laurent ensemble featuring a blazer with oversized gold-tone buttons and a voluminous bow at the waist.
However, the evening was about more than fashion. This year’s honourees were filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, known for films such as «Dune» and «Arrival», and artist Vija Celmins, celebrated for her photorealistic depictions of oceans, deserts and star-filled skies.
The event was co-chaired by Leonardo DiCaprio and museum trustee Eva Chow. BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ was the evening’s musical guest, while the funds raised will support the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s film programme and other projects.
