Dior 2027 Cruise show at LACMA

Dior brought its Cruise 2027 show to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on May 13, using LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries as the backdrop for Jonathan Anderson’s first cruise collection for the house. The French label had announced the venue in April, saying the collection would be shown on the museum grounds against Peter Zumthor’s new building. Dior’s official show page listed the presentation for 7:45 p.m. Los Angeles time. Los Angeles drew a celebrity-heavy audience for the event. WWD and The Hollywood Reporter identified attendees including Miley Cyrus, Sabrina Carpenter, Jisoo, Anya Taylor-Joy, Mikey Madison, Jeff Goldblum, Al Pacino and Delphine Arnault at the May 13 show. Daily Front Row also published photo and attendee coverage after the event. (wwd.com) ### Why did Dior choose LACMA for this cruise show? LACMA was named by Dior in April as the site for the Cruise 2027 presentation, with the house saying the show would play out against the museum’s newly opened David Geffen Galleries. WWD reported that the building was designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor and that the museum wing opened in April before public access in early May. (wwd.com) Dior has been leaning into Los Angeles as a showcase market. WWD reported that the LACMA show followed the opening of Dior’s Rodeo Drive flagship and fit the brand’s long-running ties to Hollywood dressing, including outfits worn by Dior ambassadors at the Oscars. ### Who showed up in Los Angeles? Miley Cyrus, Sabrina Carpenter and Jisoo were among the best-known guests photographed at the show, according to WWD’s front-row gallery. (wwd.com) The outlet also listed Anya Taylor-Joy among the attendees at LACMA on May 13. The Hollywood Reporter’s account added Mikey Madison, Tracee Ellis Ross, Macaulay Culkin, Taylor Russell, Miranda Kerr and LaKeith Stanfield, along with Jeff Goldblum, Al Pacino, Leslie Mann, Maude Apatow and Lauren Hutton. (wwd.com) That report described the front row as packed with film, television and fashion figures. (wwd.com) ### What was on the runway? Jonathan Anderson’s collection was presented as Dior’s Cruise 2027 line, and WWD described it as his first cruise collection for the house. The runway review page tied the show directly to LACMA and the May 13 Los Angeles presentation. The Hollywood Reporter said 75 models walked in looks that referenced Hollywood screen icons, with shimmering gowns, metallic knits, off-the-shoulder shapes and ruffled scarves, while menswear leaned into gray wool flannels and film-noir styling. (hollywoodreporter.com) Because that reading comes from the publication’s review, it is its characterization of the collection rather than Dior’s own description. (wwd.com) ### How did the setting shape the event? The David Geffen Galleries were central to the staging. WWD reported before the show that Dior would use the new LACMA building as a visual backdrop, linking the event to one of Los Angeles’ most visible recent cultural openings. The Hollywood Reporter said guests were seated in the LACMA courtyard among curving concrete walls, streetlamps and vintage convertibles. (hollywoodreporter.com) That report also said Dior handed out blankets as temperatures cooled during the evening presentation. ### Where can readers find the next verified details? Dior’s own Cruise 2027 show page is live on its website, confirming the date and Los Angeles show time.
