Many may argue that the Met Gala is undoubtedly fashion’s biggest night out. But over the past four years, the Academy Museum Gala has proven a strong competitor—many dubbing it ‘the West Coast’s Met Gala’. Like its older sister, the event is highly restricted and features a grand red carpet followed by awards, presenters, and a surprise musical guest, which is, strictly not televised.
As someone obsessed with red-carpet fashion, events like these genuinely stimulate my fashion girlie brain, partly because of the nostalgic feelings associated. As a child, I spent many Sundays glued to the TV engrossed in E!’s latest coverage of every red carpet as a child—it's where fashion moments were born.
