Olivia Munn turned heads in a black, curve-hugging dress from Mugler that dates back to 1987, bringing together velvet, drama, and a slice of fashion history. The gown, paired with a sparkling statement necklace, made for one of the evening’s most sculptural entrances at the LACMA gala.
Olivia Munn wears a curve-hugging Mugler 1987 dress with a striking sculptural neckline
According to style account Celebrity Style Radar, Olivia Munn wore a vintage Mugler gown from the Fall/Winter 1987 season, and credited Yael Quint for the styling.
The black velvet design is strapless and fitted closely through the bodice and hips. Its unique sweetheart neckline is the focal point, and the edge rises into soft, petal-like points at the bust. This gives the top a sculpted finish. Below the hips, the skirt flares gently into a floor-length hem.
Munn’s jewelry also stayed on theme. She donned statement pieces from Shaun Leane x Asprey London, which included a Storm Necklace and a Storm Ring. The necklace fans out in fine, sparkling strands from a central cluster and settles across the collarbone. The ring echoes that burst of stones with a larger centerpiece. Since the dress leaves the neckline bare, the necklace had plenty of room to stand out.
The actress kept the rest of her styling simple. Her hair was left loose in a sleek center-part, falling past her shoulders. Her makeup was similarly understated, with soft rosy lips and blushed cheeks. The result let the velvet and the jewelry do the talking.
Olivia Munn’s choice of archival Mugler gown suited the setting. LACMA’s fifteenth annual Art+Film Gala took place on Saturday, November 7, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, celebrating art and film side by side.
This year, the museum honored artist Vija Celmins and filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. According to LACMA, trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio co-chaired the event for the fifteenth consecutive year, and proceeds go toward LACMA’s effort to make film more central to its curatorial programming.
