The 2024 LACMA Art + Film Gala, held on November 2, was a dazzling affair that brought together Hollywood’s elite to honor the artistic contributions of Simone Leigh and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann. Co-chaired by Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow, the event not only celebrated art but also raised an impressive $6.4 million, marking it as the museum’s most successful gala to date.

As the stars arrived at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, they paraded in front of Chris Burden’s iconic “Urban Light” installation, setting the stage for an evening filled with creativity and style. Among the notable attendees were Kim Kardashian, Viola Davis, Andrew Garfield, Blake Lively, and Charli XCX, each showcasing their unique fashion sense against the backdrop of one of Los Angeles’s cultural landmarks.

Her ensemble was complemented by a sleek silhouette that highlighted her fashion-forward approach. Viola Davis turned heads in a glamorous black sequined gown by Gucci, featuring a dramatic cape detail that added an air of sophistication to her look.
