Taylor Swift Dazzles at Academy Museum Gala Amid Hollywood Encounters
The pop superstar was the star attraction, posing with fellow celebrities and delivering a performance at the museum's annual fundraiser.
Taylor Swift was the central figure at the glitzy Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday, where she interacted with a constellation of Hollywood stars. The singer, 36, was seen reuniting with her close friend Cara Delevingne and sharing a warm embrace with collaborator Sabrina Carpenter.
Swift, who also delivered a highly anticipated performance at the event, donned a strapless pale blue gown designed by Jonathan Anderson, creative director for Dior. Her accessories included Chopard jewelry, featuring a bracelet and platinum earrings adorned with over 32 carats of diamonds.
The gala, held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, serves as the institution's primary fundraising event for its exhibitions, screenings, and public programs.
Numerous celebrities sought photos with Swift, including American actors Charlize Theron and sisters Elle and Dakota Fanning. "Ted Lasso" star Hannah Waddingham also posed for a photograph with the singer.
Notable attendees also included Greta Lee, Colman Domingo, Ellen Pompeo, Yara Shahidi, Leslie Mann, Sacha Baron Cohen, Joey King, Joan Cusack, and Conan O'Brien, with many capturing moments with Swift.
Kim Kardashian was also present at the event, arriving shortly after Swift. The two have a history of public animosity dating back to 2016. Kardashian opted for a classic Hollywood style in a strapless dress with a bow detail, while Kate Hudson sported a vintage-inspired blush gown. Jessica Biel attended with her husband Justin Timberlake, wearing a black halter gown.
Swift's appearance at the gala comes shortly after she was named TIME's Person of the Year in 2023. She arrived wearing a diamond engagement ring, reportedly a gift from Travis Kelce that cost between $500,000 and $1 million.
