Gucci-backed LACMA Art+Film Gala honors Vija Celmins and Denis Villeneuve
The 15th annual Los Angeles gala on Saturday again had Leonardo DiCaprio and Eva Chow as co-chairs and Gucci as presenting sponsor, a role the house has held since 2011; Rosé performed, and proceeds support the museum’s film and education programmes.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art held its 15th annual Art+Film Gala on Saturday, 7 November, honouring artist Vija Celmins and Dune director Denis Villeneuve, WWD reported.
Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow returned as co-chairs. Gucci continued as presenting sponsor, a role the Italian house has held since the gala’s debut in 2011. Blackpink’s Rosé was billed to perform. WWD said proceeds support the museum’s film programming, exhibitions and educational initiatives.
A Hollywood and art-world red carpet
The evening again brought film and contemporary art onto the same Los Angeles carpet. Among the looks documented by WWD was that of Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson, who wore a black halter-neck dress with Giuseppe Zanotti’s Intriigo Jewelry Mule 105 — a black patent open-toe mule with a 105 mm stiletto heel and a crystal-set gold cap toe, priced at $1,095.
Why the gala matters to fashion
For Gucci, the long-running presenting sponsorship keeps the house tied to a high-visibility autumn event that sits between the art market and Hollywood awards season. The combination of a living artist honoree and a major film director underlines the museum’s attempt to treat cinema as part of its public programme, not only as celebrity decoration.
The gala does not itself set a dress code in the manner of the Met’s Costume Institute benefit; guests treated it as a classic black-tie Los Angeles night.
