Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Gal Gadot and Nicole Kidman were among the Hollywood celebrities who attended this year’s Academy Museum Gala on October 19 at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles. Here’s a look at 10 actresses who stole the spotlight on the red carpet.
Ariana, who is soon going to feature in the musical fantasy Wicked, dazzled in a vintage off-shoulder Balmain gown with a striking white-and-black polka dot design. Featuring a full-ball skirt and a bow-accented bodice, the ensemble was a departure from the pink outfits she dons in Wicked and its promotional events.
The Side to Side singer was joined by her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo on the red carpet. Erivo channelled her character Elphaba’s boldness in a tulip-shaped Louis Vuitton emerald gown.
Selena Gomez looked stunning in a custom navy blue Alaïa gown featuring a halterneck design with a leather bustier, which added a dramatic touch to the neckline. A body-hugging skirt with a short trail at the end made for a show stopping appearance on the red carpet.
Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot stepped out in a floral Loewe ballerina dress worn over a golden frame, adding volume to the dramatic ensemble.
Nicole Kidman made a striking appearance in a black Balenciaga haute couture gown featuring dramatic, sculptural details. The actress will be next seen in Halina Reijn’s erotic thriller Babygirl alongside Harris Dickinson, who also attended the red carpet event.
Kendall Jenner sported an old Hollywood glam look in a black halterneck dress with her blonde wavy hair flowing freely. Her sister Kylie, on the other hand, opted for a chic sleeveless, two-toned dress paired with a flowing black skirt featuring stylish cut-outs at the waist.
Kim Kardashian turned heads on the red carpet in a stunning vintage Thierry Mugler ensemble. The look featured a striking white corset paired with a dramatic floor-sweeping coat and dainty stilettos. She accessorised her look with Tiffany & Co. silver jewellery, including a statement necklace, drop earrings and rings. Her makeup was equally captivating, with soft pink blush on her cheeks, fluttery lashes and a glossy pink lip shade.
Eva Longoria, who stars in the fourth season of Only Murders in the Building alongside Selena Gomez, opted for a column gown featuring a CD-like motif with glitters in the middle. Dewy makeup, smokey eyes and flowy straight hair rounded off her look.
Da'Vine Joy Randolph, who won the Oscar this year for The Holdovers, made a statement in a faded peach gown with an off-shoulder design and floor-sweeping trails.
Demi Moore looked drop-dead gorgeous in a metallic colour Prada gown on the red carpet. She was joined by her The Substance co-star Margaret Qualley, who sported a chic black ensemble featuring a strappy top paired with a midi skirt adorned with embroidered nets. Black lacy stockings and a silver tiara added a touch of elegance to her look.
