Taylor Swift once again proved that she never goes out of style in custom Dior and Chopard jewelry at an L.A. gala.
The “Patient Zero” singer, 36, turned heads while wearing an elegant icy blue Dior ballgown and platinum 32-carat diamond earrings from Chopard on the red carpet at the 6th Annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 17. She also showed off a curly, half-up hairstyle after getting a shoulder-length trim earlier in October.
Along with her diamond earrings, Swift accessorized with an 18-carat gold ring inset with 5.78-carats of diamonds and a platinum bracelet with 5.04-carats of diamonds. All three of these stunning pieces are part of Chopard’s Haute Joaillerie Collection.
The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures announced earlier this month that Swift would be the signature performer to close out its annual fundraiser.

“Taylor is an extraordinary talent whose work resonates around the world,” Amy Homma, Director and President of the Academy Museum and Academy Collection, said on October 7. “We are thrilled to welcome her to this year’s gala and look forward to her performance to close a wonderful evening of honoring three extraordinary filmmakers and supporting the Academy Museum’s mission to celebrate and preserve cinema.”
This year’s Academy Museum Gala — which raises money to preserve film history — has been chaired by Steven Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw, as well as directors Robert Rodriguez and Tom Ford. Other notable Host Committee members include Adrien Brody and his partner Georgina Chapman, Kate Hudson, Olivia Munn, Teyana Taylor, Jessica Alba, John Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, among others.
The Academy chose horror genre pioneer John Carpenter, actor-filmmaker Colman Domingo and Oscar winner Charlize Theron as honorees for 2026.

“The Academy Museum Gala is a celebration of the artists and storytellers whose work continues to shape the cultural impact of cinema around the world,” Homma previously said in a statement. “For our Sixth Annual Gala, we are honored to recognize John Carpenter, Colman Domingo and Charlize Theron, whose extraordinary careers exemplify the creativity, innovation and excellence that continues to move the industry forward.”
Taylor’s choice to wear custom Dior to the Academy Museum Gala continues a growing collaboration she has with the brand.
The singer-songwriter previously wore a bespoke Christian Dior gown when she tied the knot with husband Travis Kelce at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on July 3.

Their shoes were custom-made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
Prior to Saturday’s Academy Museum Gala, Swift’s most recent high-profile live performance was a three-song set at the Clive Davis Theater on August 18 as part of the “The Icon Sessions with Taylor Swift: A 20-Year Retrospective” event for the Grammy Museum.
