ART + FILM AT LACMA

The Story

Leonardo DiCaprio and Los Angeles County Museum of Art trustee Eva Chow co-chaired the 11 Art & Film Gala. Salma Hayek introduced Elton John, who performed his hits “I’m Still Standing,” “Your Song,” and “Tiny Dancer.” Leading the cheers were Kendall Jenner, Jared Leto, Kim Kardashian, Jude Law, Paris Hilton, Adrien Brody, and Andrew Garfield. The night honored visual artist Helen Pashgian and filmmaker Park Chan-wook. Other guests included Molly Ringwald, Elaine Wynn, Idris Elba, Sean Penn, Kathy and Rick Hilton, Vito Schnabel, Wendy Stark, Carey Muligan, and Sydney Sweeney. Designer Alessandro Michele and Gucci continued their long-standing partnership and helped raise a whopping $5.1 million to centralize film in the museum’s curatorial program. LACMA is the largest art museum in the Western United States, with a collection of nearly 149,000 objects that cast light on 6,000 years of artistic expression. lacma.org
