The 2024 Baby2Baby Gala in Los Angeles, which honored Charlize Theron with the Giving Tree Award, served up a wide range of styles on the red carpet. From classic elegance to bold choices, here’s a look at the rest of the standout moments from the evening.
Understated Elegance
Abigail Spencer graced the event in an off-the-shoulder Giambattista Valli dress, embodying simplicity with a touch of elegance. The dress felt right at home against a backdrop of white lilies, offering a timeless take on Valli’s signature style.
Back to Basics
Following an experimental press tour for ‘Woman of the Hour’, Anna Kendrick returned to her signature, delicate style in a Monique Lhuillier sweetheart-neckline dress, completed with a golden organza ribbon in her hair, which you can’t argue was perfect for the occasion.
Denim Disaster
Looking at Ayesha Curry in this panelled Tanaka Vintage black, navy and light blue denim dress, it’s a shame that bonfire night was five days ago. I have no words for how bad this is.
Effortless Glamour
Camila Alves McConaughey showcased how fine fabrics, and an elegant silhouette can have a major impact in Roland Mouret.
10 out of 10
Heidi Klum will surprise me a few times a year and make me fall in love with her red carpet looks, and this blue and white floral print Monique Lhuillier asymmetric gown is that rare occasion.
Effortless Perfection
Seeing how effortless Jasmine Tookes looks in this Pamella Roland Pre-Fall 2024 white gown with black sheer corset detailing— you just know it takes her only 5 minutes to get ready, because you can’t improve on perfection.
Styling Misstep
Jenna Dewan’s Jacquemus yellow dress paired with black sheer gloves was a styling miss, with the gloves feeling out of place with this sunny hue.
All About the Lace
Julie Bowen let this Paolo Sebastian Spring 2024 off-the-shoulder lace dress do all the work.
Rare Moment of Simplicity
Katy Perry has been doing a lot lately – style-wise – so this beautiful Versace gown was a rare serene moment. Her look was completed with Hearts On Fire Jewelry.
Inconsistent
Kelly Rowland’s Georges Chakra Fall 2024 Couture black velvet gown with gold details felt a bit dated, leaving her red carpet style once again puzzlingly inconsistent.
Crystal Elegance
Michelle Monaghan sparkled in a purple crystal St. John gown with cut-outs, a dazzling archival-inspired design.
1950s-Inspired Sophistication
Mindy Kaling looked very elegant in this ‘50s inspired Monique Lhuillier black and white gown.
Feathered Fantasy
Miranda Kerr looked beautiful as ever Pamella Roland Spring 2025 pale pink silk gown with dramatic feather skirt and train. The only thing I would have changed here is the hairstyle into a simple bun.
Bold Hair, Bolder Design
Channelling her inner Diane Ross – hairstyle wise – I’m surprised by how much I love Naomi Osaka in this Louis Vuitton Fall 2024 look. It has so many elements and textures that some might find overwhelming, but she pulled it off with great aplomb.
A Colour Twist
Known for her favourite silhouette in black, Nicole Richie surprised in a purple Lanvin jacquard dress from the Spring 2025 collection, completing her look with black Rodo pumps.
Almost Perfect
Phoebe Tonkin’s gunmetal grey Ralph Lauren dress shimmered, though a slightly higher neckline would have perfected the look.
Something New
Wearing a fitted black velvet Alessandra Rich dress, Sofia Richie took a step outside her usual style. Prada pumps and David Yurman jewels added the finishing touches.
All-White
Summer Walker styled her white Galia Lahav strapless dress with a matching scarf and pearls.
A Repeat Moment
Vanessa Bryant wore the same gold Wiederhoeft strapless beaded gown we first saw on Tessa Thompson last year for the ‘Creed III’ LA premiere.
