The Best Red Carpet Looks From the Academy Museum Gala

Tonight's third annual Academy Museum Gala was jam-packed with so many A-listers that I lost count. The L.A. event's guest list included Kendall Jenner, Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez, Lupita Nyong'o, Zoë Kravitz, Kaia Gerber, Tracee Ellis Ross, and many more. I'd be up all night if I were to include every single look in this roundup, so I've taken a more curated approach.
Below, I rounded up the standout looks from the 2023 Academy Museum Gala. If tonight is any indication, the 2024 award-show season will be quite a doozy. (By the way, mark your calendars for January 7, which is when the Golden Globes kick things off.) My favorite looks tonight included many of fashion's heavy-hitting designers, such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Valentino. Scroll down to see my favorites.
