Emily Ratajkowski Custom Gucci Dress at LACMA 2026: Sideless White Gown Held by a Hip Stitch
Emily Ratajkowski did not ask the carpet for permission. She posted “@LACMA !” with her own videos and photos—and the custom white Gucci by Demna in those frames is held together by almost nothing at the hip. [1]
InStyle and Marie Claire both clock the same dare: a deconstructed white halter, completely sideless, asymmetrical plunge, hip-high slit, silver Gucci-logo tassel. The scandal is the construction. The click is what it looks like when she walks. [2][3]
WHAT DID EMRATA WEAR TO THE LACMA ART+FILM GALA?
Vogue’s red-carpet roundup lists Emily Ratajkowski in Gucci. W Magazine photographed her on the same carpet. InStyle identifies the piece as custom Gucci by Demna: both straps twist around one side of her neck, ends dangle over the other shoulder finished with a bedazzled silver Gucci logo tassel, creating a sweeping asymmetrical plunge and leaving the dress completely sideless—secured with “just a tiny bit of stitching over one hip.” [4][5][2]
Marie Claire calls it a reinvention of the naked dress: backless, sideless, hip-high leg slit, silver stiletto sandals, no cluttering accessories. [3]
HER OWN POST: THE CLIPS THAT BROKE THE ROOM
Primary source is Emily herself. On 8 Nov 2026 she posted to @emrata: “@LACMA !” with two videos and two photos—already tens of thousands of likes in hours. That is not a paparazzi leak. It is the subject publishing the dare. [1]
While EmRata went almost-nothing white, Anya Taylor-Joy brought bridal drama to the same LACMA carpet in vintage Pierre Cardin.
HOW THE DRESS STAYS ON (AND WHY EVERYONE ZOOMED IN)
InStyle’s construction note is the line that sells the story: the sideless gown is “held in place with just a few stitches at the hip.” Marie Claire separately flags the backless-and-sideless silhouette with the hip-high slit. That is engineering as scandal—not a slip, not a malfunction. [2][3]
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley also wore custom Gucci by Demna the same night—with almost nothing in the back. Side-by-side, two different ways to empty a gown.
WHO ELSE TURNED UP AT LACMA 2026?
ROSÉ PERFORMED. Paris Hilton introduced her; the set included “Number One Girl.” Full SP story: Rosé’s LACMA “Number One Girl”. [6]
MADELAINE PETSCH WENT BLACK-AND-GOLD PLUNGE. W Magazine credits Georges Hobeika. Full SP story: Madelaine Petsch at LACMA. [5]
ODESSA A’ZION WAS ON THE LIST. Context: Odessa A’zion editorial. [5][6]
ORLANDO BLOOM SIGHTED WITH THE ART CROWD. Background: Katy Perry–Orlando Bloom. [6]
NICOLE KIDMAN, KYLIE JENNER, BOND TEASE. Kidman honored Denis Villeneuve; Jenner walked Ashi Studio; Villeneuve teased Bond casting then stopped—a joke, not an announcement. [6]

WHAT WAS THE LACMA ART+FILM GALA ACTUALLY FOR?
15th year. Honorees: Denis Villeneuve and artist Vija Celmins. Nearly $7 million raised. Gucci presenting sponsor. DiCaprio and Eva Chow co-chairs; Chow’s final year. [6][7]
EmRata’s white Demna experiment sat inside that fundraising machine as pure carpet bait—and her own X post made sure nobody missed it.
