4 of the best looks at the 2026 Academy Museum Gala, and 3 that missed the mark
Actors, musicians, and entrepreneurs attended the 2026 Academy Museum Gala in statement fashion, ranging from stunning to lackluster.
The 2026 Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles was a star-studded event attended by celebrities like Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, and Colman Domingo. Among the best outfits of the night was Taylor Swift's baby-blue, glittery baby gown designed by Dior. The strapless dress featured all-over ruching, a sweetheart neckline, and a silver bow extending down the bodice. Swift paired the gown with Aquazzura heels and Chopard diamond jewelry, creating one of her best outfits of the year.
Kim Kardashian's vintage Balenciaga gown from 1951 was another notable presence, but it didn't suit her modern style. The cream-colored dress had a ruched baby-pink neckline, a corseted bodice, and a lace-lined skirt. Kardashian's short hair made the overall look appear like a costume, detracting from the gown's historical significance.
Colman Domingo impressed with his dapper satin and sparkles suit designed by Valentino. The custom black blouse, flared trousers, bedazzled blazer, satin cummerbund, and matching loose tie made for a glamorous look. The sparkling ensemble was tailored perfectly to the actor's physique, showcasing Domingo's impeccable style.
