One strap and a few stitches: supermodel's daring gala gown

Emily Ratajkowski has outdone herself again. The supermodel, 35, arrived at the 2026 LACMA Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night in a custom white Gucci gown with no sides at all.

The whole thing stayed put thanks to a few stitches over one hip, InStyle reports.

She was in good company. The night also brought out Kim Kardashian in Gucci, Kylie Jenner in Ashi Studio, Nicole Kidman in Chanel and Anya Taylor-Joy in vintage Pierre Cardin, according to W Magazine.

Twisted, tied and almost nothing else

The dress was a white halter gown from Demna's Gucci, made just for her. Both straps twisted around one side of her neck, and the ends were left to dangle over the other shoulder, finished with a bedazzled silver Gucci logo tassel.

"This created a sweeping asymmetrical plunging cutout effect at the front and left the dress completely sideless," InStyle wrote.

A hip-high slit ran down one side. She kept the rest simple: brunette hair parted in the center and worn in loose, bouncy curls, and metallic silver strappy heels.

A love affair with Gucci

It's far from her first big Gucci moment this year. "Emily Ratajkowski's love affair with Gucci doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon," InStyle noted.

In February, she walked the Gucci runway in Milan in a bedazzled bodycon dress, with 2010s-style side bangs. In May, she walked the label's Resort 2027 show in New York in a puffy black coat and colored contacts.

And just last month, she wore a sheer, shimmering brown lace Gucci gown to The Albies gala in London.

Gucci dressed much of the room on Saturday. Salma Hayek Pinault, Sienna Miller, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Viola Davis and Sarah Paulson all wore the label, according to W Magazine. The gala honored the artist Vija Celmins and Dune director Denis Villeneuve.

Off the red carpet, she has a lot going on.

She went Instagram official with French director Romain Gavras in February, sharing a carousel of photos of the pair, Hello! reported. The two were first spotted kissing in New York last November. Gavras, who directed the film Athena as well as music videos for Jay-Z and M.I.A. and campaigns for Dior and Louis Vuitton, previously dated Dua Lipa for almost a year.

Ratajkowski was previously married to movie producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, and the pair share a son, Sly. She has said she "got married at 26" and had been "separated for a little over a year" by 32.

In June, she wrote a candid essay for The Cut about compulsively dating after becoming a single mom. It drew plenty of criticism, with many commenters calling it "out of touch," The Daily Beast reported.

On Saturday night, nobody was calling her look anything of the sort.
