There was no shortage of star power at the 3rd Annual Academy Museum Gala at the Academy Museum Of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
This year’s fundraiser honored legendary actress Meryl Streep, Creed actor and director Michael B. Jordan, Lost In Translation filmmaker Sofia Coppola and media mogul Oprah Winfrey.
Chrissy Teigen was among the array of celebrities to lend their support for the event and take part in the red carpet portion of the event.
The model and television personality strutted her stuff in a golden sheer gown complete with a plunging and elevated neckline that wrapped around her back and a train following behind her.
The unique number also had a slit along the left side allowing her to flaunt her legs at any given moments.

And flaunt her legs she did as she struck pose after pose for the adoring cameras.
In a couple of prefect matches, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model also wore a pair of gold open-toe heels, and carried a small clutch.
Rounding out her overall look, Teigen had her dark brown tresses pulled back off her face and into a stylish bun.
After strutting her stuff by herself, her husband John Legend joined her for a round of photos.
The You Move, I Move musician came dressed to impress in a gorgeous black suit, with a double-breasted blazer, a white shirt and black bowtie, and matching dress shoes.
Giving him an added touch of class and style, the singer-songwriter and pianist flung a lovely black overcoat over his shoulder for their grand entrance to the gala.
At one point, the couple got playful when Teigen stood several feet away from him and directed him to come close with a seductive look and an arm gesture.
The duo, who celebrated their milestone 10th wedding anniversary this past September, are the proud parents to four children: Luna, seven, Miles, five, and Esti, 11 months and Wren, who are just five months apart due to the help of a surrogate.
Chrissy turned 38 last week and revealed that she spent part of her birthday doing ketamine therapy. (Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic sometimes used as a treatment for depression.) She said the experience helped her to connect spiritually with her late son Jack, who died halfway through her pregnancy in 2020.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘I had a really nice birthday. Went to to see my friends @flamingo_estate, had a beautiful lunch with friends, then did ketamine therapy and saw space and time and baby jack and some weird penguins and cried and cried and cried.
‘Then laid with my babies, then hot pot, then hung with my best friend.’
