LACMA’s Seventh Annual Art+Film Gala
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s 6th Street entrance was abuzz as a slew of megawatt, Gucci-clad guests, including Jake Gyllenhaal, Salma Hayek Pinault, Dakota Johnson and former C cover star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, stepped out to honor artist Mark Bradford and filmmaker George Lucas at the institution’s seventh annual Art + Film Gala on November 4. The evening’s co-chairs, Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow, brought together more than 600 well-heeled guests for the affair, which raised more than $4.4 million to support the museum’s film initiatives, acquisitions and programming. Attendees including Kerry Washington, in a green chiffon Gucci gown, Behati Prinsloo, performer Annie Lennox and Jared Leto, dressed in a black jacquard evening jacket from Gucci’s Cruise 2018 assortment, enjoyed cocktails in the museum’s Primal Palm Garden before moving to the Art+Film pavilion for a seated dinner prepared by Patina’s Joachim Splichal, and a moving on-stage tribute to Lucas from Washington. And while the evening centered on the achievements of both Bradford and Lucas, with LACMA’s Michael Govan lauding them as “two artistic innovators who also share a deep commitment to art and education,” the event’s longstanding sponsor, Gucci, shared some of the spotlight, both for its longstanding support of LACMA and the elaborate looks it fashioned for many of the evening’s guests, including Huntington-Whiteley’s blue hammer satin gow, and a pink silk satin gown from the label’s spring/summer 2018 collection for Johnson.
