Sarah Paulson has long been one to embrace unconventional, strong silhouettes, and her appearance at the 2024 LACMA Art+Film Gala was no exception.
The actress donned a striking black and white ensemble from the Altuzarra Spring 2025 collection, featuring a white, layered, scallop-trimmed top paired with a sheer black skirt. This look, with its unexpected shapes and textures, brought Sarah’s fearless approach to red carpet fashion firmly into the spotlight.
At first glance the scalloped layering and black-and-white contrast can evoke images ranging from layered table napkins to a playful nod to “nun gone rogue” or even Amish-inspired minimalism. This playful ambiguity may keep some from fully embracing the look, but for those who appreciate avant-garde styling, it’s a dynamic choice.
I, for one, am fully on board with this look. The dramatic silhouette and clean lines highlight Sarah’s penchant for edgy, yet effortlessly styled outfits. The simplicity of her accessories—a Tyler Ellis pouch bag and diamond jewels—adds a sense of ease and refinement, allowing the striking silhouette to remain the focal point.
This ensemble feels authentically “Sarah,” celebrating her ability to wear bold, architectural designs with ease. It’s a perfect choice for an art-focused gala, and it’s a testament to her ongoing commitment to pushing boundaries and keeping her style intriguing.
