Da’Vine Joy Randolph Wears Custom Louis Vuitton to 2026 Academy Museum Gala

Da’Vine Joy Randolph attended the 2026 Academy Museum Gala in a custom white, off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton column gown with a sweeping train and bustle. The Oscar winner, honored in 2024 for The Holdovers, described the look as delivering "drama, elegance … and body," praising the atelier's seamless construction and the way the dress carves her silhouette. She said the collaboration with Louis Vuitton had been in development for some time and called the house's fabrics rich and beautiful. Randolph cited Colman Domingo's speech as her favorite moment of the evening, noting the room rose to its feet; Charlize Theron was also among the night's honorees. She framed the gala as the kickoff of award season and a reunion. Next, she promotes The Gallerist, co-starring Natalie Portman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jenna Ortega and Charli XCX, opening December 4; she also executive-produced and leads Dedicated to Morris Burke, now in early edits. She is preparing for the 2027 awards season, including the 2026 Gotham and Governors Awards.
