Emily Ratajkowski opts for a fitted red dress
Red took center stage in her choice for the gala. Emily wore a form-fitting design with a plunging neckline that accentuated her figure and added a daring touch to the look. She wore her hair down and paired the dress with black open-toe heels, keeping accessories to a minimum and letting the gown do all the talking.
The model also played with her poses in front of the camera. In one photo, she appears reclining slightly on top of a piano, while another captures the dress from a different angle, offering another look at her outfit for the occasion.

The piano also served as the backdrop for one of the photos featuring Romain Gavras, the French film and music video director and Emily’s partner. As she posed reclining on the instrument, he stood beside her in a black suit and dark sunglasses.

A night of recognition in Hollywood
Beyond the photos shared by attendees, the gala served a purpose rooted in film history. Its sixth edition raised funds for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and honored Charlize Theron, John Carpenter and Colman Domingo for their contributions to the film industry.
Music also played a part in the evening, with a special performance by Taylor Swift, who performed several songs, including “I Knew It, I Knew You,” an original song she wrote and produced with Jack Antonoff for the movie Toy Story 5.
