Photo opportunities abound at the annual LACMA Art + Film gala presented by Gucci. There’s the red carpet, of course, which this year has been cast in a regal purple hue – a hue familiar to anyone who has followed Alessandro Michele’s recent collections for the Italian house. There’s also Chris Burden’s Urban Light, the museum’s famous installation of 202 streetlamps that has become a signature backdrop for celebrities and VIPs who pose and swan among the illuminated columns. But for the 11th annual edition co-chaired by Eva Chow and Leonardo Dicaprio, there was an additional must-stop for the stars: a portrait studio overseen by fashion photographer Anton Gottlob. Before enjoying dinner with Gucci Osteria chef Massimo Bottura and a special performance by Elton John, stars like Olivia Wilde, Andrew Garfield, Jodie Turner-Smith and Julia Garner visited Gottlob for a quick photoshoot.
