Gucci presented the recent 2016 LACMA Art + Film Gala, and with the design powerhouse in charge, celebrities were dressed head-to-toe in pieces from the brand.
Some pulled off their combinations flawlessly, and others looked incredibly disheveled. Here’s our list of the best-dressed — and worst-dressed — celebrities at the event.
Top Best-Dressed Celebrities at the 2016 LACMA Art + Film Gala

2. Salma Hayek Stuns in a Whimsical Sheer Gucci Gown
Salma Hayek donned a sheer black tulle floor-length dress with long sleeves from Gucci’s Spring 2017 collection
This is sheer done right. The From Dusk Till Dawn actress wore a long-sleeved see-through dress with whimsical embroidered details from Gucci’s Spring 2017 collection.
We also love the hair and the accessories. We think this was definitely one of the best looks of the night!

Worst-Dressed Stars Who Missed the Mark at the 2016 LACMA Gala
1. Zoe Saldaña’s Overdone Gucci Look Falls Flat
We can’t figure out the worst part of this look. Was it the crimped hair that made the actress look older? Was it the Gucci bell-sleeved dress with its over-the-top whimsy? We think it’s both.

2. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s Awkward Slip Dress Fails to Impress
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley usually stuns on the red carpet, but this Gucci Resort 2017 slip dress missed the mark. The dress appeared ill-fitting, with noticeable bunching at the corners. It’s safe to say the slip dress trend might be losing its charm.

3. Demi Moore’s Gucci Cocktail Dress and Hair Miss the Mark
We have to give Demi Moore props for trying the latest trends… but that’s all the praise she gets. Demi picked a Gucci cocktail dress with plissé sleeves that would have fitted someone half her age better. We also can’t get past that dated hairstyle.
