The annual Academy Museum Gala brought out all of the stars in their most glamorous gowns and tuxedos. Likened to the Met Gala in terms of high fashion, A-list attendees and a lush carpet fit for the stars, the gala was held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
Much like the Met Gala, which takes place on the first Monday in May each year at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, the event is mostly kept under wraps aside from the red carpet. Celebrities including Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Ayo Edebri, Paul Mescal, and many more lined up in their Saturday best for an opulent night out.
Cynthia Erivo, who is currently in the midst of her Wicked press tour ahead of the highly anticipated film adaptation, performed during the gala. In true Elphaba fashion, she wore green both on the red carpet and on stage. Her co-star Ariana Grande channeled Glinda with her light pink polka-dotted dress.
Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner had a sisters’ night out at the gala, posing on the red carpet together. Both Kim and Kylie wore vintage Thierry Mugler for the night, while Kendall went with Schiaparelli.
This is only the fourth year of the gala and raises money for museum exhibitions, education, and programs within the filmmaking community. This year, the Academy Museum honoured Paul Mescal, Quentin Tarantino, and legendary actor Rita Moreno for their “groundbreaking achievements, filmmaking influence, and demonstrated versatility” within the film industry.
The very chic ceremony that gave the honourees special awards came after a dazzling red carpet display of gorgeous couture. Here are some of the best looks.
