On Saturday, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) honoured artist Mary Corse and filmmaker Ryan Coogler at the 14th annual Art+Film Gala. Co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, the event was attended by Gucci’s Artistic Director Demna and Gucci President and CEO Francesca Bellettini. Following dinner, guests were treated to a special performance by Doja Cat.
While many stars attended the gala, this roundup focuses on the women who wore Gucci — a continuation of the brand’s strong red carpet streak following its standout custom creations at the Academy Museum Gala.
Like Mother, Like Daughter
Yes, that saying — “the apple didn’t fall far from the tree” — may be tired, but when it comes to Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford, it fits perfectly. The mother–daughter duo looked breathtaking in custom Gucci gowns that felt like the brand’s most elegant family portrait come to life.
Kaia was radiant in a custom red sequin gown sculpted to perfection, with echoes of vintage Tom Ford-era sensuality.
Cindy, meanwhile, shimmered in gold, wearing a modified off-the-shoulder version of the Gucci Spring 2026 gown first seen on Demi Moore. With her signature poise, she proved that glamour isn’t a phase — it’s a legacy.
Golden Glow
Angela Bassett was not to be missed in a yellow-gold fringed Gucci gown that shimmered like liquid sunshine under the lights. The intricate layers of beaded fringe brought dynamic texture and endless glamour, creating an effect that felt joyfully bold. My only critique? The black clutch.
White Light
Bruna Marquezine’s white Gucci tank dress might seem minimal at first glance, but up close it’s a study in restraint and detail. Covered in tonal sequins, it reflected the soft glow of the LACMA lights, creating a radiant yet understated moment. There’s nothing fussy here — just clean lines, immaculate fit, and quiet elegance that does all the talking.
Red Carpet Theatre
What I’ve learned from Davika Hoorne is that she will always bring the drama to the red carpet, and this Gucci gown is no exception. That layered sweeping train was designed to make a grand entrance. Her styling—simple hair, statement earrings—let the architectural silhouette and textured fabric take the spotlight. It’s theatrical, bold, and a clear reflection of why she’s become one of the most captivating presences on the red carpet right now.
Garden Fantasy
I know sheer dresses aren’t your thing, but I’m sure you’ll agree that Demi Moore’s Gucci halter gown—intricately embroidered with colorful floral embellishments—is simply stunning. The craftsmanship is extraordinary, transforming transparency into an art form. Each floral motif feels alive, blooming across the sheer fabric with couture-level precision. It’s dresses like this that remind me why I’ll never be fully anti-sheer. This is sheer done right — not risqué, but ravishing.
Golden Performance
Doja Cat, the evening’s performer, set aside her usual avant-garde theatrics for a molten-gold Gucci gown with a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit. It was all very high-glamour with a subtle nod to the ‘80s, thanks to her Marilyn-meets-Madonna curls. I only wish the shoes weren’t so…blah.
Ice Princess Energy
Considering the grand gala mood of the evening, I have to say that I preferred Elle Fanning’s baby-blue Gucci look, complete with a faux-fur coat that added a sense of grandeur to the lace mermaid dress. It’s the kind of old-Hollywood fantasy that is so dreamy.
The icy tone suits her perfectly, and the textural contrast between lace and fur gives the look real visual interest.
Blue Flame Elegance
Laura Harrier was a vision in sapphire-blue Gucci. The strapless sequin gown shimmered under the museum’s lights with a liquid-like gleam that sculpted her silhouette. It’s deceptively simple yet impossible to forget — cool, minimal, and completely in tune with Laura’s effortless red carpet sensibility.
Third Time’s A Charm?
Paloma Elsesser stepped out in the Gucci Spring 2026 strapless gown previously worn by Serena Williams and Lady Gaga, which begs the question — should this dress finally retire? Paloma’s striking presence certainly gave it new life, but it’s time for Gucci to archive this one.
Violet Allure
Rina Sawayama delivered a sleek, confident turn in a violet sequin Gucci gown that seemed poured onto her body. The deep jewel tone added richness, while her pared-back styling kept things modern. It perfectly merged her glam-rock stage persona with a more refined red-carpet rhythm.
Green Déjà Vu
Salma Hayek Pinault arrived in a lime-green Gucci gown that felt quintessentially her — perhaps too much so. Between the plunging neckline, and sequins, it had all the hallmarks of her usual Gucci signatures. Still, she carried it with her trademark glamour, elevated by a Boucheron ruby-and-diamond necklace. The black clutch, though? Not needed.
Silver Statement
Tessa Thompson wore one of the night’s most intricate Gucci looks—a silver sequined long-sleeve gown. From the high neck to the clean bun, everything about this look was calculated to highlight structure and contrast. And while your first thought might be that it feels a bit too heavy …
…the open back gave it a daring twist.
Golden Goddess
Vittoria Ceretti continued her status as the ultimate goddess in a golden halterneck Gucci gown that seemed engineered for perfection. The deep plunge neckline and floor-skimming silhouette showcased her statuesque frame, while the all-over embellishment created a breathtaking glow. There’s nothing coy about this—it’s high-octane glamour done with Italian precision. The sleek hair and minimal jewels kept the focus squarely on the craftsmanship.
