Lili Reinhart Wears Vintage Giorgio Armani FW95 With Pasquale Bruni Jewelry to the 2026 Academy Museum Gala

Lili Reinhart went vintage for the Academy Museum Gala. The actress wore a Giorgio Armani gown from the Fall/Winter 1995 collection, pulled from the archive and styled by Ib Abdel Nasser.

It’s a long, slim slip dress in a sheer nude base, with a scooped neckline and skinny straps. All over it, black beads trace swirling vines and chunky flower shapes that climb the straps and wind down to the hem. The embroidery is dense on the bodice and a bit looser on the skirt. Because the fabric is so light, the black pattern almost looks like it’s floating on her skin. It’s romantic, but a little dark, and it’s a very different mood from her usual soft rom-com look. She finished with black strappy flat sandals.

Her jewelry came from Pasquale Bruni. A small black pendant on a thin gold chain sat at her collarbone, with a matching black stud earring and a big dark-red stone ring on one hand. Nails were deep burgundy. Her hair went up into a high, messy bun, with a few loose pieces hanging by her face. Makeup was warm and glowy, with a rosy-nude lip and a soft, slightly smoky eye.

Lili is best known as Betty Cooper on Riverdale, which won her seven Teen Choice Awards. She also starred in The Love Hypothesis and runs the skincare line Personal Day and the production company Small Victory Productions. This isn’t her first time in archival fashion, and we saw it in her archival Elie Saab couture at The Love Hypothesis premiere.

She posed with a few friends inside the dinner. Her old Riverdale co-star Charles Melton wore ERL, with a short black tailcoat jacket covered in gold brooches, a pleated white shirt, a black cummerbund and wide navy trousers. Emma Chamberlain, the YouTuber and founder of Chamberlain Coffee, wore a red satin Giorgio Armani gown with criss-cross halter straps and a beaded top panel, plus a short curly pixie cut.

The sixth annual Academy Museum Gala was held Saturday night at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. Charlize Theron, Colman Domingo and John Carpenter were honoured, and Taylor Swift performed.
