Another standout look came from Demi Moore, who made a dramatic entrance in a custom Harris Reed gown featuring 60-year-old archival silk wallpaper.

Despite the allure of Moore's gown, it was Harris Reed, her designer, who stole the spotlight. Reed, known for his commitment to gender fluidity and inclusivity in fashion, was described as a "classic painting come to life" by an admirer.
