Eyes turned to LA this weekend as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art held its annual Art+Fashion gala. Presented by Gucci, it’s becoming one of Hollywood’s most stylish nights with a little less pressure. Serving a look is still the goal – it always is – but at LACMA, you can take a few more chances and be more relaxed. Each year, we look forward to seeing what our favorite celebrities will wear to LACMA.
And this year, they did not disappoint. Not only did Kerry Washington take a fashion risk – according to critics – but she did so in a way that made perfect sense. Ms. Kerry did not play it safe, merging colors, tailoring, luxury designer, and a little whimsy.
So, let’s get into the details.
Kerry Washington’s Fearless Thom Browne Moment
Kerry Washington glided confidently in front of event cameras. The Scandal actress wore a bold, layered, and totally unexpected Thom Browne gown.
The top of the garment combined soft pink and emerald satin with an asymmetrical sleeve that instantly turned heads. The skirt, made of bias-cut panels of plaid and stripes, flared with every step – mixing patterns like only Kerry can. It was equal parts statement and sophistication, the kind of fashion risk that reminds you why she’s that girl.
Her sleek updo, smoky eyes, and nude lip kept things clean and modern. Kerry didn’t need extra glam. Her dress did all the talking
Queen Latifah’s Soft Gold & Pink Gown
Queen Latifah was another star who had us captivated on the LACMA carpet. She was super regal, serving quiet luxury with major impact. Her blush gown flowed beautifully, draping effortlessly across her frame. The fabric had a soft sheen that made her glow under the lights, while gold 3D appliqués shimmered across the bodice like sunlight.
She completed the look with a piece from one of fashion’s hottest Black designers, Brandon Blackwood. Queen Latifah chose the popular gold metallic mini trunk. Gold hoops that framed her face perfectly.
Her hair was slicked back in a low pony, and her makeup glowed in warm tones that matched her iconic energy.
