Charli XCX's Dramatic Gown Takes Center Stage at LA Gala!
SCANDALOUS CELEBRITIES GATHER FOR THE 5TH ANNUAL ACADEMY MUSEUM GALA IN LA
The who's who of Tinseltown descended upon Los Angeles on Saturday night for the highly anticipated 5th Annual Academy Museum Gala, and we've got all the juicy details from the red carpet. The night was filled with stunning fashion moments, A-list sightings, and even a few surprises.
CHARLI XCX SHOWCASES HER EDGY STYLE
Charli XCX, looking every bit the rockstar in her dramatic black lace and leather gown, turned heads as she posed on the red carpet. The newlywed singer, who tied the knot with The 1975 drummer George Daniel over the summer, certainly made a statement in her daring neckline and drop waist ensemble. Accessorized with a diamond necklace, Charli's look was truly unforgettable.
But Charli's fashion moment wasn't the only one to steal the show. Model Cara Delevingne dazzled in a glitzy silver gown with a ruffled blue neckline, while Rosie Huntington-Whiteley proved her supermodel credentials in a plunging silver and black velvet gown. Meanwhile, actress Naomi Watts showed off her sophisticated sense of style in a light blue feathered dress and simple black heels.
ED SHEERAN AND JUDE LAW JOIN THE PARTY
Other British stars in attendance included Ed Sheeran, Jude Law, Eddie Redmayne, and Orlando Bloom. It's always a treat to see these talented actors and musicians mingle on the red carpet.
KIM KARDASHIAN MAKES A STUNNING MASKED APPEARANCE
But it wasn't just the British stars who turned heads on the red carpet. Kim Kardashian made a dramatic entrance in a tan-colored gown with a corset bodice that flaunted her toned figure. The ensemble, complete with caped sleeves and a diamond choker necklace, was truly eye-catching.
PENELOPE CRUZ HONORED WITH ICON AWARD
Penelope Cruz, who was honored with the Icon Award at the gala, stunned in an off-white dress with sparkling rhinestone details. Her look was held up with thin straps that wrapped around her shoulders and contained a short train that flowed behind her.
CHARLI XCX'S ROMANTIC WEDDING RECAP
But what's truly interesting is Charli's fashion sense on the red carpet, considering she just got married to George Daniel in a romantic ceremony over the summer. The pop star displayed her edgy style in a Grecian-inspired bridal look as she and George shared their vows in Sicily.
The ceremony was an intimate affair, with rows of chairs laid out in front of an altar adorned with sprigs of eucalyptus leaves and baby's breath. Charli and George looked deeply moved during the exchange of vows, laughing, crying, and holding hands throughout.
GEORGE AND CHARLI'S ROMANCE
It seems like George and Charli are completely smitten with each other. They shared a passionate kiss at the altar after becoming husband and wife for the second time, and even had a personalized folding fan emblazoned with the words: 'George and Charli' to keep them cool during the ceremony.
The couple's friends and family were in attendance, including George's bandmate Matty Healy, who gave a heartfelt speech. As they walked back down the aisle to applause and confetti from the attendees, Matty could be seen getting to his feet to cheer them on.
THE ACADEMY MUSEUM GALA: CELEBRATING CINEMA AND ITS STORIES
This year's gala co-chairs included celebrities such as Jon M. Chu, Viola Davis, Robert Downey Jr., and Jennifer Hudson. Amy Homma, the Academy Museum director and president, issued a statement regarding Saturday's ceremony, saying, "The Academy Museum gala is a special evening dedicated to bringing together individuals to champion the celebration, advancement, and preservation of cinema."
Homma added that this year's honorees - Penelope Cruz, Walter Salles, Bruce Springsteen, and Bowen Yang - are storytellers whose influence has been proven to resonate in film and beyond. The museum is grateful for their long-standing commitment to cinema and the support of founding partners like Rolex.
OTHER CELEBRITIES IN ATTENDANCE
Other American celebrities attending the gala included Hailey Bieber and Jenna Ortega, who joined the likes of Kim Kardashian on the red carpet. It's always exciting to see these A-listers mingle and celebrate the world of cinema together.
