Heated Rivalry’s Connor Storrie has been shooting the show’s second season—but managed to slip away from set to have a glamorous night out in Los Angeles. The star attended the 2026 Academy Museum Gala, wearing a black Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello look, featuring a tailored coat, high-waisted trousers, and a silk evening blouse.
But it was his silver accessories from Tiffany & Co. that added extra character to his dark outfit. Per the jeweler, he had on an Apollo brooch, Tiffany HardWear necklace, Tiffany Lock small earrings, a ring in platinum with a cat’s eye alexandrite and diamonds, and a second ring in platinum with a diamond.
This is Storrie’s first red carpet since the Creative Arts Emmys, which he attended with his mother on September 6:
This has been a year of red carpet debuts for Storrie, who attended his first-ever Met Gala as well this May. He spoke to GQ about why he wasn’t really nervous as he got ready for the event.
“I feel like people have explained to me a million times exactly what’s going to happen, and I’m like, I still don’t really know what that looks like,” he said. “I’m excited to see everyone’s looks. I’m excited to meet some people that I haven’t met before. I mean, a lot of people go, right?”
“It’s like 200 people or something,” he added. “So I think it’s going to be a beautiful zoo. It’s going to be some chaos, I can imagine. But yeah, I mean, I feel good. In these rooms, I feel like I’m able to just be myself and flow and move and chat and you just naturally fall into stuff. I’m excited to see everyone’s looks in person because I’ve historically always seen photos at the Met Gala afterwards. But half of these looks and dresses and stuff, you’re like, ‘Oh, I have no idea what that looks like in person.’”
“I feel very lucky,” he continued. “I think a lot of the women have it much harder than I do. I hear stories of girls being in their cars for an hour not being able to sit. I’m sure some of them have started whatever extravagant hair and makeup they have six hours before we even have to get ready to go. So I think comparatively to a lot of other people who are involved, I think I have it pretty easy.”
