Emmys Red Carpet Dazzles with Haute Couture and Bespoke Tuxedos
20 Oct
Summary
- Academy Museum Gala evolves into a high-fashion event
- Celebrities wear debut designs from top fashion houses
- Standout looks include Kim Kardashian's nude corset gown and Jenna Ortega's custom breastplate
In the past five years, the Academy Museum Gala has evolved from a mishmash of styles to a polished evening of haute couture, bespoke tuxedos, and high jewelry. The event, now nicknamed the "Met Gala of the West," has become a showcase for Hollywood stylists and the latest runway designs.
Many of the looks seen at the recent gala made their debut just two weeks earlier at the spring/summer 2026 Paris Fashion Week. Celebrities like Ayo Edebiri, Monica Barbaro, and Addison Rae wore gowns from the inaugural collections of newly appointed designers at iconic fashion houses like Chanel, Dior, and Atelier Versace.
The event also saw standout fashion moments, such as Kim Kardashian's nude-hued corset gown by Maison Margiela, complete with a full face mask, and Jenna Ortega's custom breastplate and skirt by Grace Ling, which echoed her daring look from the recent Emmy Awards. These artful and forward-thinking fashion choices have cemented the Academy Museum Gala's reputation as a must-attend event for Hollywood's style elite.
