It\u2019s peak gala season, which can only mean one thing: Your favorite fashion stars are out and about in their best black-tie attire. And unsurprisingly, the 2026 Academy Museum Gala was no exception. On Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, celebrities gathered for the annual fundraiser that supports the institution’s educational programs and preservation endeavors. This year\u2019s attendees included a mix of emerging and established stars of stage and screen alike \u2014 from Inde Navarrette, Cole Escola, and Maya Hawke to Jessica Lange and Pamela Anderson<\/a> \u2014 all of whom offered their own interpretation of Hollywood glam. <\/p>\n

Whereas last year<\/a> included some decidedly daring fashion moments, like Kim Kardashian\u2019s Margiela face covering, Jenna Ortega\u2019s sculpted leaf bodice, Rebecca Hall\u2019s trompe l’oeil Thom Browne gown, Saturday\u2019s event was comparatively low-key. Still, it was not without some major moments. For example, some celebs went classic in black suits and gowns, adding a twist through texture, softly draped silhouettes, and modern proportions. However, those who chose color \u2014 like Sarah Pidgeon, Naomi Ackie, and Cailee Spaeny \u2014 leaned all the way with fully saturated shades of red, violet, and pink. In addition to the vivid use of color, the A-list guests predictably modeled some of the biggest fashion trends, with sculpted tailoring<\/a>, sheer layers, and voluminous silhouettes all on display. <\/p>\n

Beyond the looks, the evening was marked by some dynamic duos in attendance. Sisters Elle and Dakota Fanning arrived together, and Pitch Perfect co-stars Brittany Snow and Anna Kendrick had a cute moment on the carpet. For a more in-depth look at who was there \u2014 and what they wore \u2014 keep reading. <\/p>\n
