The Academy Museum Gala was full of glitz and glamour, held on Saturday October 18, at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. The theme for the event was “Met Gala of the West”. This year’s gala honored Penélope Cruz, Walter Salles, Bruce Springsteen, Byron Yang, and also raised funds for the Academy Museum to support its exhibitions and public programs.

But that’s not our focus for now, let’s get right into another interesting part of the event which is the red carpet. Most celebrities wore looks from the Spring/Summer 2026 runways.

Below are some of the best dressed stars of the evening.

Jenna Ortega

Jenna wore a piece from Grace Ling SS26 couture look. Styled by Enrique Melendez the young star came in a metallic sculptural breastplate shaped into a leaf, it was hooked around her neck, covering her chest area and leaving the back open. She wore it with a burgundy satin slip skirt, silver hoop earrings and her hair was styled in a side-part ponytail. Her bleached eyebrows and smudgy eyeshadow gave her an alluring appearance.

Kim Kardashian

Kim dressed literally in a head-to-toe Maison Margiela couture look: a nude mask covering her entire face and held in place with a crystal-embellished choker, a strapless corseted gown with flowing sleeves connected to the hem of the dress. Her gemstone rings matched the ones on her neck. The look balanced mystery and beauty, the typical Maison Margiela style.

Rebecca Hall

She opted for a Thom Browne ensemble. On the bottom, she wore a black maxi skirt but what diverted my attention was the top, it was like a painting. From her collar bones to her midriff, the top was covered in black and white artistic canvas, it had transparent long-sleeves attached to it. The monochrome palette made her look like a work of art.

Demi Moore

The actress dazzled in a maroon asymmetrical gown from Prada. Her dress features a deep plunge, spaghetti straps. It was fitted at the waist to enhance her figure before flaring out into a full skirt. One side of the skirt had a subtle cutout, giving room for the excess fabric that extended into a tulle train. Bold diamond and ruby accessories concluded the outfit.

Eva Longoria

Eva came in an Elie Saab gown that featured intricate lace detailing and plunging neckline. It gently hugged her figure before flowing freely from the knee downwards. Her brunette waves were left loosed and minimal jewelry completed the look.

Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco

Regina Hall

Ava went for an off-shoulder Louis Vuitton gown. The design combined a structured crimson band that wrapped around her shoulders with a sleek black gown. She wore her hair in a high braided bun and opted for subtle jewelry.

Just like always, the Academy Museum Gala delivered a night of glamorous style. Whether you showed up with your face fully covered like Kim Kardashian or opted for a softer, classic look, every guest made their own statement. Proving there is no particular way or style to show up for a red carpet

Shakira has a long history of stadium performances, with past appearances for the FIFA World Cup and Super Bowl adding to her presence on major live stages. On June 11, she performed at the opening of 2026 FIFA World Cup ceremony in Mexico City Stadium, where she wore a custom Off-White piece.

Her outfit was styled by Italian Nicholas Bru and consisted of a fitted high-neck bodysuit in a yellow shade with cut-out detailing throughout the design. The look was paired with matching opera gloves in the same shade.

She wore it with an asymmetrical mini skirt created by Off-White, in a mix of lavender, white, and yellow jersey-inspired paneling. She added fishnet tights and white high-top sneakers from R13, designed with a basketball-inspired silhouette and lace-up detailing.

Shakira was joined on stage by Nigerian artist Burna Boy. They performed this year’s official World Cup song, “Día Día.”

With this appearance, she became the first and only artist to perform at four separate FIFA World Cups. Her previous appearance was in 2010, when she performed “Waka Waka” in a custom Roberto Cavalli set.

One noticeable detail across her performances is the coordination between her outfit and microphone. In 2010, her microphone carried a neon pink tone that matched her outfit, while in 2026 it appeared in a yellow finish that complemented her stage look.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup celebrations will continue across the remaining two host nations, Canada and the United States. The second host ceremony will take place in Canada on June 12, with performance from Alessia Cara, Katy Perry, Elyanna, and Tyla. The tournament concludes on July 19 in New Jersey.

While fans continue to speculate about her upcoming wedding to Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at the Toy Story 5 premiere on June 9 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The singer stepped onto the red carpet just days after releasing her new song, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” which features on the film’s soundtrack.

For the occasion, Swift wore a look from the Erdem Fall/Winter 2026 ready-to-wear collection. The off-the-shoulder corseted mini dress featured floral patchwork across the front, a raw hem, and a bow-tied detail on one sleeve. Crystal embellishments traced the upper bust and extended down the corset.

Her accessories included a horseshoe necklace, which she had worn back in April during an outing in New York. At that time, she had not yet announced her collaboration with the film. Now, it appears the necklace was an early teaser, linking back to Toy Story. The piece of jewelry connects to Jessie, the cowgirl character she wrote about in her track “I Knew It, I Knew You.”

When she first released the song on Friday, she explained what it felt like writing from the character’s point of view. She wrote, “This song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a Toy Story kid from age 5 till now, it’s an adventure I plan to be on to infinity and beyond.”

Following the release of the new single, the film’s director and screenwriter, Andrew Stanton, spoke about how the song fits with the film. “It’s incredible just how meaningful it’s been having Taylor write and perform this song. Her connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable. The song is so deeply connected to Toy Story. So much so that on first listen, it instantly felt like it had always belonged there, like a long-lost family member. It was kismet.”

On the first day of its release, Apple Music revealed that “I Knew It, I Knew You” became the biggest country single of 2026 and broke the record for the biggest soundtrack single based on first-day plays. On Spotify, it became “the most streamed country song in a single day by a female artist,” while Amazon Music reported it as “the biggest first 24-hour streaming debut globally for any song” in 2026.

Toy Story 5 is set to hit theaters on June 19.
