A shimmering evening unfolded at LACMA as art, film and fashion came together in true Hollywood style. Here are our favorite chic looks from the gala.
Tonight in Los Angeles, the LACMA Art and Film Gala once again became a place where culture feels alive and shared in real time. Held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and presented by Gucci, the evening brought filmmakers, artists, and creative minds together under one roof in celebration of imagination, storytelling, and the power of artistic legacy. The night felt less like a red carpet moment and more like a gathering of people who understand how deeply art shapes the way we see the world.
At its core, this gala serves a purpose beyond glamour. It supports LACMA’s mission to champion film within the museum’s curatorial program and to expand access to the arts through exhibitions, acquisitions, and education. It is an evening where philanthropy and creativity meet gracefully. Gucci’s role has long been central to this vision, reinforcing the idea that fashion can be a patron of culture and a meaningful voice in preserving and advancing artistic expression. There was a sense of continuity in seeing a luxury house not simply sponsor a night, but participate in a cultural moment with sincerity and intention.
The style felt equally thoughtful. Instead of dressing to impress in the loudest way possible, the night invited a quieter kind of refinement. Tailoring appeared soft but confident, silhouettes felt sculpted yet fluid, and fabrics shimmered and caught the light in ways that suggested intention rather than extravagance. It was chic without trying to be. People arrived as themselves, simply elevated, embracing fashion as a way to honor the setting and the artistry around them. The museum’s glow, the energy in the galleries, and the hum of conversation all worked together to create an atmosphere that was intimate and grand at once.
What made the evening special was its tone. Yes, it was glamorous, but it was also warm, celebratory, and full of genuine admiration for creativity. It reminded everyone present that art is not separate from life, but woven into it, and that the worlds of fashion and film are strongest when they lift artists and ideas forward. It felt like a promise that culture still has room to bloom, and that nights like this matter.
Here are some of the chicest looks from the night that captured the spirit of the event:
