The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures held its fourth annual Academy Museum Gala on Saturday (Oct. 19), and the biggest stars in Hollywood showed up and showed out. The event is a fundraiser for the museum, which features exhibits, props, costumes and screenings celebrating the history of cinema. If you’re in the Los Angeles area and love movie history, it’s absolutely worth a visit. Of course, you won’t have to break out your best designer fare…unless you want to.
The gala’s red carpet was a who’s who of Oscar winners, blockbuster stars and Hollywood power brokers. While celebs like Colman Domingo and Jaden Smith brought their unique individuality to the red carpet, actresses like Kerry Washington and Sheryl Lee Ralph shut down the event with their classic style.
Everywhere you looked, there was black excellence on display. Take a few moments away from a mundane workday and enjoy the best Black red carpet looks from the 2024 Academy Museum Gala.
