The fourth annual Academy Museum Gala is about to begin, but first, we get the chance to watch as some of Hollywood's chicest and most talented stars arrive and walk the red carpet in Los Angeles. Often referred to as the "West Coast Met Gala," tonight's gala has a reputation for being one of the best dressed red carpet events of the year, and that's saying a lot with the Oscars and Golden Globes as its biggest competition. Just like those award shows, the Academy Museum Gala isn't without its fair share of daring fashion moments.
If we had to pick just one dominant trend for the evening thus far, it would have to be lingerie, from bustiers and corsets to sheer lace and faux thongs. First came The Bear's Ayo Edebiri, whose white Thom Browne couture dress from the F/W 24 collection featured a drop-waist silhouette and corset bodice. Kim Kardashian also chose a bridal-esque lingerie look without the actual dress part. Instead, she wore a vintage Thierry Mugler bustier-style bodysuit in all-white satin, styling it alongside a floor-length duster, naked shoes, and lots of Tiffany Co. diamonds.

Finally, Kylie Jenner arrived, and as usual, her outfit of choice turned heads. Alongside her older sister Kendall Jenner—who was dressed in S/S 24 Schiaparelli couture—the youngest Jenner debuted a Mugler S/S 98 couture gown with a barely-there top made of sheer sequins and skin-colored mesh. The bottom half showcased a black floor-length skirt with a whale tail esque mock-thong cutout at the hips.
