Black Hollywood served up some unexpected gems to the delight of fashion lovers everywhere.

Celebs were dressed to the nines to help the Academy Museum raise over $11 million for exhibitions and public programs like screenings and community-led initiatives. The fourth annual gala was held in collaboration with luxury brand Rolex, adding a touch of extra swagger to the already swanky soirée.

Hollywood’s finest showed up, honoring icons like Paul Mescal, Rita Moreno, and Quentin Tarantino for their contributions to film, both past and present.

The event was A-listers only, with a guest list as exclusive as it can get. Some of our fave celebs spotted on the red carpet included Coleman Domingo, Kim Kardashian, Taraji P. Henson, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Zoe Saldana, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Quinta Brunson.

Niecy Nash, Gabrielle Union & more: Let’s get into all the celebrity style red carpet moments

Niecy Nash stole the show in one of our favorite looks of the night. The Claws star dripped in diamonds, sequins, and rhinestones. Sis was the epitome of Rihanna’s famous phrase, “Shine bright like a diamond!” Niecy wore in her signature body-hugging silhouette. Her beauty nodded to old Hollywood glam with her hair style in soft waves and a side part and her makeup shiny and poppin’.

Gabrielle Union also took our breath away. The Bring It On star wowed in a stunning deep purple and black ombré mermaid-style gown. With a dramatic half-globe sleeveless neckline and tailored silhouette, Gabrielle was not playing on the carpet. Her hubby, Dwyane Wade, matched her fly perfectly, sporting a sleek black double-breasted tuxedo with silver accessories.

Quinta Brunson, creator and star of Abbott Elementary, also came through serving a look in a two-tiered hounds tooth ensemble by Carolina Herrera. She rocked a sleeveless top with a chic flower detail and a hint of plum at the bottom, paired with a matching maxi-length pencil skirt. Quinta’s sharp pixie cut and elegant glam tied the outfit together, giving us major sophisticated vibes.
