Ready for Their Close-ups
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s annual gala may celebrate luminaries from the art world and Hollywood—this year, the honorees were the artist James Turrell and the filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu—but fashion is an increasingly big part of the picture. Exhibit A: these portraits taken by Inez and Vinoodh, who were tapped by co-chairs Leonardo DiCaprio and Eva Chow to properly document the star-studded event, which was sponsored by Gucci. John Baldessari, Jared Leto, and Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele (who dressed Gwyneth Paltrow, Dakota Johnson, and Salma Hayek) all took turns in front of their lens. “They capture people’s insides!” exclaims Chow of the legendary duo. The benefit’s success—in the year of LACMA’s 50th anniversary—underscores the resurgence of Los Angeles as a cultural capital. “Every decade has its time,” Chow proclaims. “London had the ’60s, New York had the ’80s. Right now, it’s L.A.”
