Demi! Demna! Doja Cat! Inside the Star-Studded LACMA Art+Film Gala

On Saturday night, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) played a suitably grand backdrop as the biggest names in entertainment, fashion, music, and philanthropy intertwined. Set beneath the glow of Chris Burden’s iconic Urban Light installation, the 14th annual Art+Film Gala celebrated and welcomed visionary creatives across the arts and cinema.

Co-chairs Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow hosted the event to honor filmmaker Ryan Coogler, who has directed, written, and produced hit movies such as Black Panther, Creed, and this year’s Sinners. Artist Mary Corse, best known for her luminous perception paintings, challenging viewers to see the world differently, was also recognized.

As per tradition, Gucci returned as presenting sponsor—which saw a host of names take to the red carpet previewing creations by Demma, with the mononymous designer also joining them for the night. His multi-generation appeal was evident with Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber dressed in their respective off-the-shoulder embroidered gold and cherry red sequin numbers. “Kaia invited me to come with her tonight, and I’ll do anything to spend an evening with my daughter,” Crawford laughed to Vogue, with her supermodel spawn beaming beside her. “We even got ready together and we tried to somewhat coordinate our dresses.” Gerber echoed: “It’s so fun to get ready with my mom, she keeps me on time…she’s the punctual one!” Case in point: Crawford said she was “in and out” of Gucci HQ as the fitting for her dress took just 10 minutes.

“Kaia will have to entertain me because I don’t know a lot of people,” Crawford claimed, with her daughter quickly adding. “She knows everyone—she’s the perfect date, really.” Gerber proudly showed off their matching shoes too: the black leather pumps with striking gold metallic heels from Demna’s La Famiglia collection. “I don’t mind that I’m wearing the same shoes as my mom,” she said. “And they are really high!” Crawford laughed: “It just happened to be what we both picked for our dresses.”
