Wilson revealed her relationship with Agruma on Instagram in June. In February, she announced she was engaged. Agruma is the founder and designer of Lemon Ve Limon, a sustainable Los Angeles-based clothing brand. The company was founded in 2021.

In November 2022, Wilson and Agruma launched a clothing brand together called R&R Club. The loungewear brand’s first capsule collection featured a white hoodie and sweatpants with the R&R Club logo.

Wilson and Agruma attended the Vanity Fair Oscars after party together last Sunday. For the occasion, Wilson took a sustainable approach to dressing by recycling a previously worn Oscars gown from the 2020 ceremony. The off-the-shoulder sparkling gold evening dress was designed by Jason Wu.

Wilson regularly works with celebrity stylist Elizabeth Stewart to create her event looks, including the re-worn Jason Wu gown. Stewart also works with Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth Olsen and Jessica Chastain.

The Women’s Cancer Research Fund hosted its Unforgettable Evening Benefit Gala at the Four Seasons Hotel. Proceeds from the event go toward supporting funding for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, which is a program dedicated to ending breast cancer by advancing research across the globe.

During the gala, Stone received the Courage Award for her support of breast cancer research and dedication to raising awareness for the cause.

In a speech, the “Basic Instinct” star recalled her experience undergoing surgeries to remove tumors. “Those mammograms are not fun,” she said. “And for someone like me who was told that I had breast cancer because I had a tumor that was larger than my breast and they were sure that I couldn’t possibly have a tumor without it being cancer, it wasn’t. But I went to the hospital, saying, ‘If you open me up and it’s cancer, please take both my breasts,’ because I am not a person defined by my breasts. You know, that might seem funny coming from me since you’ve all seen ‘em.”

Rebel Wilson, Rachel Zoe, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, Julianne Hough, Kathy and Rick Hilton, Lori Loughlin and Olivia Jade Giannulli were among the guests, and Maroon 5 performed.

The veteran actress, who received an Oscar nomination in 1996 for “Casino,” recently revealed the difficulty she had in securing a dress for her first Oscars ceremony in 1992. On an episode of the “Table for Two” podcast that was released earlier this month, the actress discussed how no one would loan her a dress when she was set to present because her career-changing movie “Basic Instinct” only came out just shortly before the Oscars. The actress ended up wearing a Betsey Johnson jumpsuit.

Miller’s choice to wear Stella McCartney to a premiere of a show about the effects of climate change makes sense, as McCartney was one of the earliest proponents of sustainability and animal welfare in fashion.

At her recent Paris Fashion Week show, the designer showcased the first handbags made from Mirum, a plant-based, plastic-free and circular alternative to animal leather. Other bags were made from crocodile-effect AppleSkin, using apple waste from the food industry, and Mylo, a mycelium leather alternative.

In addition to “Extrapolations,” Miller is also in post-production for “My Mother’s Wedding,” a film about three sisters who return for the third wedding of their twice-widowed mother.

“Extrapolations” is a new anthology drama series created by Scott Z. Burns for Apple TV+. The series explores the effects of climate change through different points of view through interconnected stories. The series stars Meryl Streep, Sienna Miller, Kit Harrington, Eiza Gonzalez, Gemma Chan, Yara Shahidi and Edward Norton. The show premieres on the streaming service on Friday.

Gemma Chan arrived in Los Angeles for the premiere of “Extrapolations” on Wednesday, taking a multicolored approach to red-carpet dressing.

To celebrate the premiere of her new television series, the actress wore a sporty sleeveless dress with a high neckline and zipper on the bodice, with printed details including a blue and purple pattern on the bodice with side cutouts. The pattern continued down the skirt, with a checkerboard accent at the bottom.

Chan regularly wears Louis Vuitton. During Paris Fashion Week she attended the brand’s fall 2023 runway show, wearing a head-to-toe black Louis Vuitton ensemble, including a black leather dress, knee-high boots and a chain-strap handbag. In September at the premiere of her film “Don’t Worry Darling,” the actress selected a light blue, laser-cut feather-embroidered Louis Vuitton gown accented with a black belt.

In addition to “Extrapolations,” Chan is in post-production for “The Actor.” The film tells the story of a New York actor who is beaten and left for dead in 1950s Ohio and wakes up with amnesia, stranded in a small town.

Los Angeles

For the latest “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” premiere in Los Angeles on March 14, Liu wore a custom-made gown from burgeoning New York-based demi-couture designer Andrew Kwon. The fabric was a metallic misty rose gold that was extremely technical in detail — it took four weeks to create. It was pressed and coated a multitude of times on French lace then it was crushed and pulled in different directions. Other details of the dress included a hand-stitched tulle-draped bodice.

In a statement, designer Andrew Kwon shared his admiration of Liu, saying, “Lucy has been one of my biggest inspirations growing up. I’ve always been a watcher of Hollywood and the big screen, but to be honest — there weren’t so many people that looked like me.”

He added, “I’m proud and honored to be able to dress someone that’s been a muse to me for so many years.”

For all her press tour looks, Liu has worked with stylist Sarah Slutsky. On dressing Liu, Slutsky said, “The focus of the tour looks was energetic, playful and optimism — the film has a beautiful theme about family and supporting one another so we wanted these looks to be bright and fun, while lending a positive outlook to the future.”

“Shazam! Fury of the Gods” is a sequel to the 2019 DC film “Shazam!” The action-adventure stars Zachary Levi returning in the title role, along with Adam Brody, Asher Angel, Rachel Zegler, Meagan Good, Liu, Djimon Hounsou and Helen Mirren. The film will be released in theaters on March 17.
