Last night, Los Angeles’ star-studded scene was alive with glitz and glamour as the 5th Annual Academy Museum Gala brought together Hollywood’s brightest names.
The event celebrated cinematic achievements while honoring some of the industry’s most influential storytellers.
Among the attendees were Sydney Sweeney, Hailey Bieber, Jenna Ortega, and a host of other celebrities turning heads on the red carpet.

Promoting her new film Christy, the actress embraced her bold side in a black velvet halter gown with a daring front cutout.
She paired the sultry look with open-toed black heels and a chic updo, letting loose strands softly frame her face.
Minimal accessories—a pair of silver studs and a sparkling ring—kept all eyes on her striking outfit.
Her makeup was perfectly on point, featuring shimmering eye shadow, mascara, a warm blush on her cheekbones, and glossy nude lips.
Beaming with a radiant smile, Sweeney posed for photos, clearly enjoying the Hollywood night alongside her rumored beau, music mogul Scooter Braun.
Hailey Bieber Brings Elegance to the Evening

Bieber, married to singer Justin Bieber, showcased a sophisticated yet playful elegance that wowed photographers.
Jenna Ortega Turns Heads in a Backless Ensemble
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, 23, embraced a unique style with a chrome top and brown satin maxi skirt, showcasing the dramatic backless design.
