The LACMA Art + Film Gala Delivered One Fabulous Celebrity Look After Another
The outfits were stunning.
The Met Gala, which occurs on the first Monday in May, is fittingly dubbed the Super Bowl of fashion. However, there’s another equally glamorous evening on the calendar that should be on your radar, too: The Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s annual Art + Film Gala. Every year, on the first Saturday in November, the Hollywood set flocks to the soirée to raise money for the institution's educational programming, exhibitions, and acquisitions. And on Nov. 4, the LACMA’s 2023 affair drew in every A-list celebrity, many of whom donned stunning designs from Gucci, the event’s presenting sponsor. While they may not have been as wacky and over the top as the looks known to grace the coveted Met steps, the fashion moments from the gala over the weekend certainly deserve your full attention.
On Saturday night, Sabato De Sarno, Gucci’s newly appointed creative director, unveiled his first eveningwear collection for the fashion house, named “Ancora Notte.” At the event, models like Nyajuok Gatdet, Abbey Lee, Mariacarla Boscono, and Vittoria Ceretti debuted the creations. Elsewhere, Hollywood’s top celebrities strolled into the gala wearing lavish looks from the luxury label. Jennifer Lopez, for instance, wore a semi-sheer gold Gucci dress, while Kirsten Dunst made a rare appearance in an eye-catching little white dress. There were, however, a few celebrities who broke free from the Gucci mold. Kim Kardashian, for one, posed for photographers in a Marilyn Monroe-inspired pink gown from Balenciaga (more deets on it below!).
