Salma Hayek showed up to support the arts on Saturday night, attending the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s 15th annual Art+Film Gala along with husband François Henri Pinault. Like many stars at Saturday’s event, Hayek opted for a Gucci gown with a little shimmer in it, perhaps alluding to LACMA’s famous “Urban Lights” statue by Chris Burden.
Hayek’s look was marked by a subtle sense of romanticism. The Academy Award-nominated actress sported a crimson red Gucci gown embellished with tiny, delicate sequins that gave off a glittery, somewhat whimsical aesthetic that nearly called to mind Dorothy’s ruby slippers in “The Wizard of Oz.”
The dress had a single sleeve and an asymmetrical off-the-shoulder cut with the neckline slightly draped on the left. The gown was form-fitted with a bit of strategic ruching along the sides and upper bodice and featured a floor-length column silhouette with a skirt that pooled gently at Hayek’s feet. Hayek sported a massive diamond ring on her left hand and accessorized further with a crimson clutch bag.
Hayek is a long-time attendee of LACMA and has walked the red carpet of many Art+Film Galas in previous years. She has even worn Gucci before. In fact, back in 2022, Hayek opted for a similarly shimmery look. Four years ago, Hayek attended the LACMA Gala in a rhinestone-studded green and pink ombre gown with a floor-length skirt and studded spaghetti straps. Hayek accessorized the look with sequined opera gloves that matched her dress’s gleam.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s 15th annual Art+Film Gala brought Hollywood and the art world together on Saturday, honoring artist Vija Celmins and “Dune” director Denis Villeneuve. Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow returned as co-chairs, while Gucci continued its presenting sponsorship, a role it has held since the gala’s 2011 debut. Blackpink’s Rosé was tapped to perform. Proceeds support the museum’s film programming, exhibitions and educational initiatives.
