The 2026 LACMA Art+Film Gala brought Hollywood and music stars together in Los Angeles on Saturday night, with Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro among those seen inside the event holding hands as they spoke with Salma Hayek.
The 15th annual gala, held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, raised a record-breaking sum of nearly $7 million. The proceeds will support the museum’s efforts to place film more centrally within its curatorial programming, as well as its wider mission.
Garfield and Barbaro arrived separately and posed for photographs one after the other, but were later seen together inside the event. The pair, who co-star in Artificial, were pictured holding hands while in conversation with Hayek.
A host of other well-known figures attended, including Timothée Chalamet, Orlando Bloom, Al Pacino and his partner Noor Alfallah. Chalamet was photographed inside with Eva Chow, while Bloom was seen alongside artist Alex Israel.
The evening’s honourees were artist Vija Celmins and filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. Nicole Kidman, who has not worked with Villeneuve, took to the stage to deliver remarks in tribute to the filmmaker.
Music was provided by K-pop star Rosé, whose performance included the live debut of her new single, “New Trick”. She also performed “Number One Girl”, “APT.” and a cover of The Killers’ “Read My Mind”.
The gala drew dozens of celebrities, many of whom posed for photographs before entering the event, while others were captured mingling inside during the fundraiser.
