The stars stepped out for the opening of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
After several delays , next week marks the opening of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. It’s a museum organized by the same group that gives us the Oscars each year, and the venue includes a 33,000-square-foot theater designed by Renzo Piano for public programming, performances, and movie premieres.
So, to celebrate the opening of this long-awaited museum of movies, a party was in order—and compiling the guest list wasn’t so difficult. Unsurprisingly, Hollywood’s best and brightest turned out for the event—past and future Oscar winners among them—and they ranged in craft from actors to directors to producers, all eager to take the museum in.
Ryan Murphy was there with frequent collaborator Darren Criss. Maggie Gyllenhaal turned up dressed like a Grecian goddess in a one-shoulder Stella McCartney gown. Tessa Thompson wore a Dior Haute Couture feathered frock, while Olivia Rodrigo made an appearance in a plunging black dress from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello—looking every bit the Hollywood vamp. Also there was Cher; her getup consisted of a black and white hat and cheetah-spotted pants that turned heads.
The evening culminated with an hour-long set by Gaga, who quick-changed into a sheer, sparkling number. Included in her setlist was a jazzy rendition of “New York, New York” which she dedicated to Lee—you can take the girl out of NYC but you can't take the NYC out of her! The performance brought a standing ovation from the star-studded audience.
It was a night that likely reminded many of its guests of Oscar Sunday, but with no awards to win or lose and no television cameras, everyone could simply have a marvelous time and toast the industry that brought them all together. And with this new museum institution created purely to educate and celebrate all matters, people, and crafts within the movie-making world, it was clear to everyone in attendance that there really is no business like show business.
