Stars Bring Daytime Glam to the Women in Entertainment Gala

This might be the busiest month of the year, with a steady run of events and award shows. Among them is the Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Gala. It’s one of the rare red carpet events that takes place in the morning. Held on Wednesday in Beverly Hills, saw a number of high-profile women arrive in looks that showed a daytime event style stands on equal ground.

The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Gala celebrates women making notable achievements across film, TV, and music. Starting off the morning red carpet Jennifer Lopez opted for a business-class-inspired outfit. Kerry Washington followed with a textured jacquard look, while Dakota Johnson went for a black dress. Gwyneth Paltrow and other stars arrived in varied interpretations of daytime wear. Here’s a closer look at what some of the celebrities wore:

Styled by her go-to stylist, Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn. Jlo gave a fresh angle on office-inspired clothing. She wore a chocolate brown suit from Harithand, consisting of a midi skirt paired with an oversized blazer with a rounded hem, which is different from the blazer, typically cut with clean, angular lines. One side of the jacket was joined to the other end, making it difficult to tell where began or ended.  She completed the look with Gianvito Rossi pumps, Tyler Ellis clutch and a couple of golden chokers.
