Brooklyn Beckham and glamorous wife Nicola Peltz were among the guests Sunday evening as the annual Academy Museum Gala kicked off in Los Angeles.
The pair were on hand to raise much-needed funds for the museum’s exhibitions and public programming, and both made sure to turn heads as they made their way to the star-studded red carpet ahead of the event.
Nicola, 28, opted for an elegant peach evening dress with a cinched waist and off-the-shoulder detail and stood out among her colleagues as she posed for photos alongside her husband.
The actress, daughter of billionaire businessman and investor Nelson Peltz, completed the look with a matching chiffon scarf, while nude wedge heels were visible beneath the floor-length hem of the dress.
Brooklyn, 24, who joined his wife, looked suitably dapper in a black tuxedo suit and white shirt. A tattoo on his neck was visible beneath his unbuttoned collar.

The annual Academy Museum Gala was launched in 2021 and aims to raise funds for the museum’s exhibitions and public programming.
The event always attracts a red carpet so star-studded it rivals the Academy Awards themselves, and the opening gala raised a whopping $11 million for the museum.
The glamorous soirée also honored several stars, including Meryl Streep, who accepted the Icon Award, which honors an artist whose career has had a significant impact on global culture.
Michael B. Jordan received the Vantage Award, which honors an emerging artist or scholar who helps contextualize and challenge dominant narratives surrounding cinema.
Oprah Winfrey received the Pillar Award, which recognizes exemplary leadership and support for the Academy Museum.
Sofia Coppola was honored with the Visionary Award, which recognizes an artist or scientist whose innovations have advanced the art of cinema.
“We are pleased to come together again for our third annual Academy Museum Gala to celebrate the power, global impact and indelible significance of cinema,” Jacqueline Stewart, director and president of the Academy Museum, said in a statement earlier this year.
“It is my great honor to recognize four artists: Meryl Streep, Michael B. Jordan, Oprah Winfrey and Sofia Coppola, whose creativity and passion have inspired and shaped our culture in such powerful ways.”

The event was originally scheduled to take place in October but was postponed following the Hamas attack on Israel.
There were concerns that the Hollywood strikes would also impact the event, but these were dropped earlier this year.
The Hollywood actors’ strike finally came to an end last month after 118 days, ending the longest strike by any film and television actor.
A month before the end of the writers’ strike, they celebrated a new deal with a five percent raise, streaming bonuses and protection from AI.
