And as expected, Hollywood's elite collectively showed up and shut down the red carpet in a dizzying range of show-stopping looks while taking in the construction of the new museum. At the event — which honored actors Sophia Loren, Tom Hanks, and Annette Bening, as well as filmmaker Haile Gerima and executive chairman of the Disney Company Bog Iger — there were plenty of coordinated couple appearances (Kaia Gerber and Jacob Elordi made their red carpet debut in Celine, while Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom matched in all-black Louis Vuitton looks), memorable fashion moments (see: Cher's leopard pants and Laverne Cox's pleated cape gown), and a dazzling, hour-long performance by none other than Lady Gaga.
