The Best Looks From the Academy Museum Gala 2025 Red Carpet

New York claims the Met Gala, but in Los Angeles, the Academy Museum Gala reigns as Hollywood’s most glamorous night. Dubbed the “Met Gala of the West,” the fifth annual event kicked off tonight at the the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, with all its usual fanfare and celebrity power. Not only a night out for Hollywood stars, it raises funds to support museum exhibitions, education initiatives, and public programming in service of the L.A. community.

This year’s honorees include Bowen Yang is set to receive the Vantage Award, given to an emerging artist helping to challenge existing narratives around film. Academy Award winner Penélope Cruz will be honored with the Icon Award while director Walter Salles will take home the Luminary Award. Bruce Springsteen, who will serenade guests with a performance inside the museum, is due to receive the inaugural Legacy Award.

And with a host committee that includes Zoë Kravitz, Jacob Elordi, Chloë Sevigny, Demi Moore, Colman Domingo Viola Davis, Kirsten Dunst, Jenna Ortega—as well as a starry guest list including Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski—the event promises to preview the red carpet trends set to define the 2026 awards season. Expect lots of dazzling fashions pulled from the spring 2026 runways—we wouldn’t be shocked to see Jonathan Anderson’s Dior or Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel well-represented this evening—and show-stopping timepieces (like last year, Rolex is the presenting sponsor of the event) and high jewelry.

Here, all the glamorous celebrity fashion and jewelry moments from the 2025 Academy Museum Gala.
