The 2025 LACMA Art + Film Gala, held this past Saturday, saw a star-studded turnout with Hollywood A-listers like Angela Bassett, Demi Moore, Quinta Brunson, Dustin Hoffman, Tessa Thompson, Elle Fanning, Finneas and Demi Lovato gracing the event.
Proceeds from the gala support the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s (LACMA) mission to integrate film into its curatorial programming. The funds also aid in exhibitions, acquisitions, education and other benefits.
Each year, celebrities don their best attire to attend this lavish event, looking glamorous as they rally behind a charitable cause.
Among those who dazzled at this year’s LACMA Art + Film Gala were Bruce Willis’ ex-wife, Demi Moore, and Salma Hayek.
Moore, 62, looked enchanting in her form-fitting, sheer black halter gown adorned with a multi-colored, crystallized floral pattern.
Given the semi-transparent nature of her dress, some of her bare skin was visible. She opted for a soft glam look, styling her signature long, dark hair parted on the side with a slight body wave.
Her dazzling jewelry perfectly complemented her flashy outfit. Meanwhile, Hayek, 59, looked equally stunning in a bright green, deep-V cut sequin gown with flared, long sleeves and a prominent bosom.
A stunning necklace adorned her neck, accentuating her chest area and taking her look to new heights. At the 2025 LACMA Art + Film Gala, the museum paid tribute to artist Mary Corse and Ryan Coogler, the filmmaker of Sinners and Black Panther.
“Mary Corse has continually expanded the possibilities of painting in her exquisite works, which invite us to think deeply about the nature of perception,” said Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director, to Variety in August after the 2025 honorees were announced. “Ryan Coogler’s films do something equally transformative. Through masterful storytelling and visual innovation, he reframes history, redefines narratives, and opens new worlds of possibility. Both artists challenge us to see differently, whether through a shift in light or a shift in narrative, and that is at the heart of what museums aspire to do.”
In the previous year, artist Simone Leigh and director Baz Luhrmann were honored. Deadline reported that past honorees of the Art+Film Gala include artists Helen Pashgian, Catherine Opie, Robert Irwin, James Turrell, Barbara Kruger, and David Hockney, as well as filmmakers David Fincher, Park Chan-wook, Steven Spielberg, Alfonso Cuarón, Guillermo del Toro, George Lucas, Kathryn Bigelow, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, and Clint Eastwood.
Moreover, Gucci was the sponsor for the evening, with LACMA trustee Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio serving as co-chairs for the 14th consecutive year.
