The Academy Museum Gala kicked off in California, and Hollywood’s who’s-who – dressed to impress or confuse – were in attendance.
The so-called “Met Gala of the West” featured the likes of Bowen Yang, who received the Vantage Award; Penélope Cruz, honored with her Icon Award; and director Walter Salles, who was given the Luminary Award.
Bruce Springsteen, unlike the latter, not only received (a Legacy Award) but also gave a performance at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
Also in attendance were Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, and Jeremy Strong, among others. Below, we will try to establish just why they were there.

#13 Jeremy Strong

Jeremy Strong showed up to the event in a bright red suit with knife point pleats. 

It cannot be denied that it was a bold choice that arrests the eye of the casual onlooker and may cause the feeling one gets right before they cry.

The Concession alum knows that feeling too, and came prepared for the wardrobe’s brilliance. 

As seen in the photo, he brought dark glasses.

We do not know the inspiration behind the look, who made the shirt, or where the hard-sole black shoes came from.

Only that it was compiled by Loro Piana.

#17 Zoë Kravitz

Zoë Kravitz rocked up at the event in a voluminous dress the color of decaying leaves at the bottom of a stagnant body of water or as the Daily Mail wrote:

She “hid her fantastic figure in so many ruffles and puffed fabrics that she was totally overwhelmed by her dress.”

Said dress was produced by Saint Laurent and really reminiscent of the proverbial missing curtains.

#18 Maude Apatow

Maude Apatow’s garb ticked all the boxes of a gown for a glitzy event like the “Met Gala of the West.”

Its cut fits the conventional hourglass template without getting too gaudy in the strings, frills or puffs department.

But to say that it was mesmerizing would be an understatement. There are scientific studies declaring what Prada did on the Euphoria actress’s dress a Spiral Motion Illusion in which viewers could become overwhelmed and anxious.

Fortunately there were no casualties reported.

The actress rounded off her look with earrings and a necklace by Cartier.
