The second annual Academy Museum Gala took place on the 15^th of October and although it is only its second year, it may have just become one of the fashion's biggest nights. Hundreds of celebrities arrived on the stunning white carpet to celebrate the art and history of film, whilst showcasing their glamorous outfits. You can always count on celebrities to make an appearance but this year the Academy gala invited some of the most star-studded gatherings yet!

From Selena Gomez to Emma Stone, this year was no different as everyone celebrated the iconic museum while raising an amazing $10 million for the cause. Some of the biggest names in the industry arrived to celebrate the honorees like Julia Roberts, who was given the Icon Award by her close friend George Clooney and Tilda Swinton who received this year’s prestigious Visionary Award.

Sheer gowns and maxi dresses were one of the biggest trends on the white carpet as celebrities wore stunning outfits made by their favourite designers. While actors like Alexandra Daddario and Glenn Close chose a more incorporated look, it was Selena Gomez who stood out with her subtle choice to rock a classic black suit to the event.

To rock the perfect red-carpet look, or in this case white carpet, you should look and feel like royalty. Red is always a go-to colour when wanting to own a glamorous look at any event. That is why dozens of celebrities dared to walk the white carpet with stunning red gowns in sleek designs that elevated the carpet and event. From one-shoulder styles or strapless designs, the hot red tone adds its own sophistication and sexiness to any design, just like the beautiful Nina Senicar who opted for a strapless red gown and added elegant diamonds for extra glamour.

The stunning Thuso Mbedu made a grand appearance on the white carpet sporting a unique take on the traditional dress, a co-ord fluffy skirt with a multicoloured, long-sleeve top that was a showstopper at the event. Co-ords sets are huge this season and mixing and matching the top and bottom has become a new trend this autumn.

The stars have been ushering in the new season in co-ords, as a chic and comfortable alternative to the one-piece designs and we are here for it! The ‘in’ colour this season is soft, baby tones that highlight the figure and add some romance to your looks.

And of course, there's no party without feathers! The elegant style dates back to the 50s when the golden era of Hollywood filled the red carpets with glamour like no other generation. The feather style has been rocked by some of the biggest stars from Marilyn Monroe to Lauen Bacall and has since been crowned as a timeless classic that suits all styles and elevates any look.

The long maxi designs and feathers decorating the chest area have been seen to be worn by Kate Moss and Selena Gomez in the last decades and this year’s carpet was no exception with the stunning Regina Hall, who oozed glamour and sophistication with her breath-taking white design.

Selena Gomez opted for a different choice to the traditional gown and looked      chic with a classic black suit that showcased her wonderful figure. The androgynous look is a huge trend this fall and suits are back in business, literally.  

Suits are a great choice, regardless of the event as they are versatile and come in different styles. They combine sophistication and class whilst giving a sexy vibe all around. You can’t go wrong when wearing a suit at any event.
