Top names in art, film, fashion and entertainment industries gathered at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Saturday for the 9th annual Art + Film Gala.
Presented by Gucci and co-chaired by Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow, the event honored Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón Orozco and African-American artist Betye Saar.
As expected, most of the A-listers and other guests arrived in stunning Gucci looks.
1. Salma Hayek Shimmers in Gucci Dress and Heels
Salma Hayek shimmered in a custom Spring 2020 halter dress that’s entirely embellished with pink microcrystals.
Its body-hugging silhouette looked flattering on the Mexican-American actress, who paired the look with diamond drop earrings and a bracelet from the Gucci High Jewelry collection.

The 53-year-old actress, who arrived with her husband Francois-Henri Pinault, looked gorgeous with a high bun, rose-colored eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, and mascara.

She carried a small leather clutch and did her best not to fall down in towering platform sandals featuring t-straps, ankle straps, front cutouts, 2.25-inch platforms, and 6-inch heels.

Seeing Salma Hayek in a Gucci creation is not surprising. Aside from being an obvious fan, her husband is the chairman and CEO of Kering, the parent company that owns Gucci and other luxury fashion brands.

2. Zoe Saldana in a Quirky Gucci Gown
Zoe Saldana was probably in a Halloween mood when she decided to wear this quirky dress by Gucci. There’s just a lot going on in this ensemble, which features a black lace bodice with a cleavage-baring v-neckline, red frills, red lace cuffs, and exaggerated shoulders.
It’s complemented with a green pleated skirt with a black lace overlay that’s adorned with butterfly embroideries.

It’s clearly a tricky dress to wear but Zoe somehow managed to pull it off. She looked beautiful with her long dark hair styled in romantic waves and her face made-up with mascara and bold red lipstick.

The 41-year-old actress accessorized with statement jewelry also from Gucci. It included a pair of Hortus Deliciarum Lion Head earrings, Rubellite Lion’s Head ring, and a Serpent Solitaire ring.

3. Sienna Miller Wears Gucci’s Most Expensive Jewelry
Sienna Miller was glistening in a custom Gucci Spring 2020 dress that’s entirely embellished with black sequins. It’s clearly an understated dress to wear to the gala. However, the cherry on top of this sartorial sundae was her one-of-a-kind Gucci necklace.

Valued at over $500,000, the Gucci Hortus Deliciarum Lion Head necklace is the most expensive jewelry from the fashion house’s new High Jewelry collection.
The white gold necklace features a mixture of diamonds, colored gemstones and opals, adding a much-needed pop of color to Sienna’s otherwise dark outfit.

Allowing her fine jewelry to take center stage, Sienna kept the beauty department simple. She wore her blonde tresses down in soft waves, framing her face that’s made-up with pink lipstick and dark eyeliner.

The 37-year-old actress rounded out her look with a pair of Gucci suede sandals, which feature ankle straps with crystal-embellished Double G buckles, three front straps, and 4.5-inch thin heels.

5. Brie Larson in a Whimsical Gucci Gown
Brie Larson looked like a princess in a fairytale scene in this whimsical Gucci gown. The striking number features a black velvet sleeveless bodice and a floor-sweeping ivory organza skirt with scattered crystal embellishments.
It’s sweet and feminine, especially with the two-tone satin bows on the waist and the beaded heart detail applique on the bodice.

We just didn’t like her slicked side-parted waves and makeup, which seemed a bit off for this rather youthful gown.
Her Gucci jewelry, which included a pair of 18-carat white gold and diamond earrings, bracelet and rings, rounded out her look.

6. Nicky Hilton Kicks Off Holiday Season in Dolce & Gabbana Dress
Nicky Hilton was one of the very few who opted not to wear Gucci. She kicked off the holiday season in a Dolce & Gabbana red sequin-embellished dress, which showed off her slender figure.
It features a slightly flared hem with flattering off-the-shoulder v-neckline and shoulder ties.

7. Suki Waterhouse Is a Goddess in Gucci
Model and actress Suki Waterhouse was like a Greek goddess in this nude pink one-shoulder draped dress from Gucci’s resort 2020 collection. It has a draping panel on one side and a center slit that allowed her to flaunt her legs.

She wore complementing soft pink makeup and styled her tresses down in loose waves, although an updo or an off-the-shoulder hairstyle would have looked better.

The 27-year-old model accessorized with Anita Ko jewels and slipped into the same pair of Gucci shoes as Sienna Miller in beige patent leather.

8. Naomi Campbell Channels Jessica Rabbit in Atelier Versace
Naomi Campbell made sure all eyes were on her as she showed off her toned figure in a red gown that’s entirely encrusted with Swarovski crystals by Atelier Versace.
Channeling Jessica Rabbit, the form-fitting sleeveless dress features see-through panels on the bodice that gave a peek at her cleavage and a back slit that showed her enviable legs.

9. Billie Eilish Keeps It Laid-Back in Gucci Pantsuit
Artist of the moment Billie Eilish stuck to her usual laid-back look for the occasion. She wore a Chinese style-inspired pantsuit by Gucci, which included an oversized bowling shirt and matching loose-fitting jogger pants.
The custom blue and silver two-piece look features Gucci’s signature GG lamé pattern with floral sequin embroideries and Swarovski crystal appliques along the sides.

The 17-year-old singer sported a color-blocked green and black mullet, which she recently admitted was just a result of a hair-burning accident.
She accessorized with Gucci jewels, including a massive gold lion’s head choker, and hid her eyes behind a pair of square frame acetate shades.

To round off her rather sporty look, Billie slipped into Gucci’s ‘Flashtrek’ sneakers.
