A Tale of Two Looks
Jenner chose an understated yet refined little black dress by The Row, featuring a vest-style bodice and gently draped skirt, completed with simple strappy sandals and sleek hair. Marie Claire+1
By contrast, Bieber opted for a dramatic strapless gown from Schiaparelli’s Spring 2025 Couture collection: shimmering chocolate-brown fabric, a boned corset waist, and a high leg split — bold and red-carpet ready. Marie Claire+1
The pair deliberately didn’t coordinate outfits, yet together they made a statement: two friends, two very different high-fashion directions. Marie Claire
Why It Matters
This gala isn’t just about glitzy dresses — it’s a major media moment. The red carpet event not only raises funds for the museum but also showcases how high fashion intersects with Hollywood’s biggest stars. People.com+1
