The sixth annual Academy Museum of Motion Pictures gala took place on Saturday night, raising over £10.5 million to support educational programs and exhibitions at the institution. The event was co-chaired by renowned directors Tom Ford and Steven Spielberg, in partnership with the luxury watchmaker Rolex.

Actress Charlize Theron received the Academy’s Icon Award during the evening, presented by Sigourney Weaver, best known for her role in the "Alien" film series. In comments following the presentation, Theron expressed her gratitude and surprise, describing the recognition as "really lovely."

The gala attracted a number of high-profile attendees from the entertainment industry. Singer Taylor Swift appeared on the red carpet in a blue Dior gown, while Kim Kardashian wore a 1951 Balenciaga dress. Sabrina Carpenter was also noted for her choice of a Giorgio Armani Prive gown with a notably low back.

While most guests embraced the formal tone of the evening, some fashion choices reflected a wide range of styles. Pamela Anderson’s outfit drew attention for deviating from typical red carpet looks, evoking a more rustic aesthetic.

Overall, the event celebrated the film industry’s achievements while generating significant funds to enhance the Academy Museum’s educational reach and exhibition offerings.
