The Los Angeles County Museum of Art hosted its milestone 15th annual Art+Film Gala, bringing together global stars from fashion, cinema, and the arts beneath the glow of the museum's iconic "Urban Light" installation. Co-chaired by Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow, the star-studded evening served as a vibrant bridge between the worlds of fine art and storytelling. This year’s ceremony formally celebrated the monumental creative achievements of artist Vija Celmins, renowned for her detailed renderings of the natural world, alongside visionary filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, whose visually ambitious features have redefined modern cinematic scale. Proceeds from the ticket sales and donations directly fuel LACMA’s ongoing mission to make film a centerpiece of its organizational programming, supporting exhibitions, acquisitions, educational initiatives, and public screenings year-round.

Presenting sponsor Gucci returned to support the gala for its 15th consecutive year, continuing a partnership that began with the event's inaugural showcase in 2011. Naturally, the Italian fashion house dominated the red carpet with custom creations, including a dramatic, sculptural black gown for model Alex Consani, a playful feathered dress for model and musician Soo Joo Park, and an intricately detailed ensemble for writer and curator Antwaun Sargent. Beyond Gucci, the night offered a spectacular showcase of haute couture and custom designs. Kylie Jenner made a striking impression in a brown-and-silver deer-print gown from Ashi Studio’s spring/summer 2026 couture collection, while stars like Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicole Kidman brought their own whimsical interpretations of high-fashion evening wear. To cap off the memorable night, global pop star Rosé took the stage in custom Saint Laurent, delivering a headline musical performance that kept the celebration going late into the evening.
