Blac Chyna made an unexpected appearance at the 92nd Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on February 9, 2020, arriving in a black velvet Dona Matoshi gown with blue/crystal fringe paired with black Jimmy Choo heels.
While she was neither nominated nor scheduled as a presenter, her appearance quickly became one of the night’s most talked-about celebrity arrivals. The television personality attended as the plus-one of music producer Christopher Trujillo (also known as Tito Just Music).

The look leaned heavily into dramatic red-carpet styling, with the embellished gown drawing attention to her tattooed silhouette while the minimalist black sandals kept the focus on the dress.
It was also Chyna’s first appearance at the Oscars, placing her alongside other first-time attendees such as Florence Pugh.
Off the red carpet, Chyna was simultaneously dealing with highly publicized family tensions involving daughter Dream Kardashian and ongoing custody disputes with Rob Kardashian, adding another layer of media scrutiny during the awards season.
