The lace detailing transitioned into a sheer, pleated skirt with a flowing silhouette. Keeping her dramatic, dark glamour look the centerpiece of her sartorial statement, Dern opted for delicate pieces of jewelry by Marco Bicego, including small drop earrings and delicate rings and a bracelet.

As for her glam, the “Marriage Story” Oscar-winner’s blond tresses were styled with a side part and featured soft waves throughout. Her makeup included a subtle smoky eye and a slight touch of color with a muted red lip.

Dern is the latest celebrity to take on the dark glamour trend. Prior to the 2024 LACMA Art + Film Gala, Zoe Saldaña put a romantic spin on the trend at the “Emilia Pérez” premiere during the American French Film Festival in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Other stars who have embraced the dark glamour trend in 2024 include Kristen Stewart and Amanda Seyfried.

The LACMA Art + Film Gala, sponsored by Gucci, supports the museum’s curatorial programming, exhibitions, acquisitions and more programs that explore the intersection of art and film.

World's smallest public railway fighting for survival amid rising costs
The world's smallest public railway have said they are fighting for survival against rising costs to keep their heritage trains running. The Wells and Walsingham Light Railway in Norfolk, UK, have recently had to dip into their own reserves to pay for a new boiler in their iconic Norfolk Hero steam locomotive. The 110-year-old tracks run four miles down a coastal route and has been a popular fixture for locals and tourists since it opened in 1982. The not-for-profit group of volunteers have now said they have faced a 65 per cent increase in their fuel and energy costs in the past two years. They have launched a fundraiser to raise £25k to maintain the steam trains and the heritage railway said everything they do is for the 'survival of the railway'.
