The 15th annual LACMA Art+Film Gala took over the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Saturday night, and the red carpet did not disappoint. Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow co-chaired the night for the 15th year in a row. The gala honoured artist Vija Celmins and filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, the director behind Dune, Arrival and Blade Runner 2049. Gucci was the presenting sponsor, and Rosé of BLACKPINK performed for the crowd.
The night is LACMA's big fundraiser. It supports the museum's film programming, exhibitions and education work. The red carpet runs past Chris Burden's Urban Light installation, and this year it drew one of the strongest guest lists the gala has seen.
Kylie Jenner stole the show
Kylie Jenner, 29, made her first appearance at the gala, and she picked a look people will talk about for a while. She wore a brown-and-silver deer-print gown from Ashi Studio's Fall/Winter 2026 couture collection, with a dramatic open back. It was the most talked-about outfit of the night.
Her sister Kim Kardashian, 46, went with burgundy Gucci sequins, also with an open back. The two sisters arrived in matching silhouettes, and the photos of them together spread fast.
The night's best looks
| Guest | Look |
|---|---|
| Kylie Jenner | Ashi Studio deer-print gown, Fall/Winter 2026 couture |
| Kim Kardashian | Burgundy Gucci sequins |
| Nicole Kidman | Chanel |
| Anya Taylor-Joy | Vintage Pierre Cardin |
| Hrithik Roshan | Custom black suit |
Nicole Kidman wore Chanel. Anya Taylor-Joy chose vintage Pierre Cardin and posed for photos with Villeneuve, who directed her in Dune: Part Two. Paris Hilton posed at Urban Light with her husband Carter Reum. Alex Consani wore a sculptural Gucci gown, and Salma Hayek Pinault, Viola Davis, Sarah Paulson and Andrew Garfield all wore the night's presenting sponsor too.
A first for Indian cinema
Hrithik Roshan made history as the first Indian actor to attend the gala. He wore a custom all-black suit and greeted the cameras with folded hands on the red carpet. He was there on a personal invitation arranged by producer Kavita Gupta. Michelle Yeoh and Julia Garner, in Loewe, were also among the guests, along with K-pop star Ningning of aespa.
Villeneuve's honour fits the night. The gala celebrates the link between art and film, and few working directors bridge the two the way he does. Celmins, known for her photo-realistic paintings of nature, was honoured alongside him.
