Last Week’s Best Dressed Stars Lit Up the LACMA Art+Film Gala


The red carpets this season have been nothing short of cinematic. From the dazzling LACMA Art+Film Gala to the star-studded Angel Ball and the cultural celebration at Vogue World, celebrities brought a level of glamour that felt straight out of a fashion dream. Every gown, every pose, and every glimmer of light reminded us why these moments still matter. When Hollywood’s finest step out, they don’t just wear fashion—they create visual history.

Indeed, last week, artistry met purpose, and elegance found fresh meaning. The LACMA Art+Film Gala, in particular, became a magnet for bold statements and refined couture, setting the tone for the season ahead. From regal blends of fur and couture to surreal masterpieces, each star turned fabric into expression and form into storytelling.

The Looks

Mary J. Blige arrived at the 2025 Angel Ball like the queen of timeless cool she’s always been. She radiated pure star power in a sparkling black Tony Ward Couture gown that draped elegantly around her figure. The gown’s daring high slit showcased her beautiful legs, while the bedazzled mesh bodice caught every flicker of light—blending sensuality with unmistakable strength. Draped over her shoulders, a luxurious black fur coat by Daniel’s Leather added that final note of diva glamour. 

Cynthia Erivo delivered one of the week’s most mesmerizing fashion moments at the 2025 LACMA Art+Film Gala. Renowned for her fearless approach to avant-garde couture, she captivated the crowd in a Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2025 gown that looked as if it had stepped straight out of a surrealist dream. Designed by Daniel Roseberry, the strapless creation was a visual enigma—its surface adorned with embroidered 3D eyes that seemed to shimmer and blink with every movement. Intricate pearls and gilded details added a sense of living artistry, transforming the gown into a piece of sentient couture. 

Elsewhere, at the Vogue World 2025, Jennifer Hudson embodied modern strength. While others embraced volume and sparkle, she chose precision and structure. Clad in a black-and-white floral jacquard coat and matching mini dress from Harbison Studio, she radiated confidence and poise. The sharply tailored silhouette hugged her frame with intention, while the gold statement buttons added just the right touch of polish. The result was effortlessly powerful and distinctly Jennifer, a reminder that true glamour doesn’t need to glitter to command attention.
