On this glamorous evening, the 2025 LACMA Art + Film Gala lit up the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in sunny California. This yearly fundraiser, generously supported by Gucci (check out last year's vibes here: https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/inside-the-lacma-gala-2024), plays a vital role in preserving the museum's rich history and draws in a powerhouse crowd from the realms of fashion, art, cinema, and music. What made it stand out? A-list guests channeled that iconic old Hollywood allure but infused it with fresh, innovative flair that felt utterly now—think shimmering fabrics and bold silhouettes that nodded to the past while pushing boundaries.
Unlike the intense scrutiny of awards shows such as the Golden Globes or the Oscars, the LACMA Gala offers a more relaxed vibe. Here, stars feel free to experiment wildly and let their personalities shine through on the red carpet. For instance, the dynamic mother-daughter pair of Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford absolutely owned the scene in their matching sequined masterpieces—vibrant red for the younger Gerber, evoking a fiery passion, and timeless gold for Crawford, like a nod to eternal sophistication (dive deeper into their looks: https://www.vogue.com/article/cindy-crawford-kaia-gerber-2025-lacma-art-film-gala). Over in the model corner, Italian beauty Vittoria Ceretti turned heads in a daring, low-cut golden gown that screamed confidence and elegance, catching the light just right.
And let's not overlook the gentlemen who brought their A-game! Singer Troye Sivan served up a laid-back, edgy vibe with his loose-fitting oversized suit ensemble paired with hefty boots—perfect for those who love streetwear meeting high fashion. Damson Idris kept it sleek and polished in a tailored double-breasted suit that highlighted his sharp features, while Charlie Hunnam opted for a jacket-free approach, rocking an open, luxurious velvet shirt that added a touch of sultry rebellion to the mix.
But here's where it gets controversial: In a sea of safe bets, did these bold choices truly elevate the gala, or were they just celebrities playing it too safe under the guise of 'risk-taking'? Some might argue that old Hollywood glamour is overdone, yet others see it as the ultimate timeless thread— what do you think?
