Cynthia Erivo literally had an all-eyes-on-me moment as she stepped out for a star-studded event in Los Angeles.
On Saturday night, the city lit up with A-list stars and Hollywood’s finest as the 2025 LACMA Art + Film Gala unfolded in dazzling style.
For this year’s event, the LACMA Gala honored visual artist Mary Corse and Black Panther and Sinners director Ryan Coogler for their contributions to the industry.
Meanwhile, among those who delivered a show-stopping entrance was the Wicked star, who stunned attendees with a jaw-dropping ensemble.
Erivo’s outfit was from Schiaparelli’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection. Designed by Creative Director Daniel Roseberry, the dress showcased a fully beaded strapless gown adorned with sculptural eyes, a signature of the Parisian haute couture house.
Moreover, the look featured a winged accent in a sheer train, which added a dramatic touch to her red-carpet appearance.
Lastly, her stylist Jason Bolden completed the outfit with David Yurman earrings and sparkly Christian Louboutin heels.

The Oscar-nominated star delivered a look that was both hauntingly beautiful and irresistibly bold, sparking buzz across social media.
“Absolutely gorgeous,” a fan commented in a post shared by Variety.
“She looks so good,” a different user echoed.
The same goes for another who said “she’s so gorg.”
Meanwhile, some poked fun at Erivo’s unusual outfit, noting “It always feels like / somebody’s watching me.”
“Not the trypophobia dress,” another chimed in.
In 2024, the 38-year-old actress and Ariana Grande took the world by storm as they led the hit movie Wicked.
Taking on the iconic role of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, she received multiple nods from major award-giving bodies for her outstanding portrayal.
For one, she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.
Despite not taking home the title after losing to Mikey Madison for her role in Anora, the actress still felt grateful to be considered for such recognition.
“It’s fine,” she jokingly said, as mentioned by Deadline while en route to the Sundance Film Festival. “I’ve got happy tears. I don’t know how to tackle this. The whole thing is madness and amazing. This is the most wonderful thing to have gone through and to experience. I’m just really pleased, it’s so cool.”
Beyond the award nominations and the buzz surrounding her performance, Erivo also formed a genuine friendship with Grande.
In fact, the duo even got matching tattoos to honor the upcoming sequel Wicked: For Good.
