Keke Palmer, Naomi Watts and More Bring Valentino Looks to the Third Annual Cult100 Event

Cultured Magazine, Valentino and Valentino Beauty feted the third annual Cult100 at the Guggenheim Museum on Thursday night in New York City. A bevy of high-profile stars, from Keke Palmer to Naomi Watts, attended the evening’s event, clad in Valentino designs from the spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection and more.

While Palmer and Watts went the custom route, other attendees like Grace Gummer turned to the runway for their style inspiration. WWD breaks down those looks, among others, ahead.

Naomi Watts wore a custom look by Valentino for Thursday night’s event. The Oscar-nominated star’s shimmering sleeveless dress was crafted with a V-shaped neckline and short train that trailed Watts as she walked the arrival carpet. Styled by Jeanann Williams, Watts’ look was accessorized with Jessica McCormack jewelry, including crescent moon diamond and pearl earrings, an oval diamond eternity band and oval diamond custom ring.

Natalia Dyer wore a dark floral maxidress with long sleeves from the Italian luxury fashion house. The “Stranger Things” alum’s dress included a V-shaped neckline and was paired with rockstud sandal heels and an embroidered bag.

Keke Palmer opted for modern sleek sophistication in her Valentino look. “The Burbs” actress, who was styled by Molly Dickson, wore black trousers with a customized mint green jacket with long sleeves, buttons down the front placket and black lining with a black bow at the collar. Palmer accessorized the look with geometric metal eyewear.

Grace Gummer turned to Valentino’s spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection. She wore a metallic silver gown with allover shimmering elements and wispy bands of sheer taupe fabric that trailed the “Love Story” actress on the arrival carpet.

Sheer dressing was the approach Louisa Jacobson took with her wardrobe. Styled by Edward Bowleg III, “The Gilded Age” actress wore a look from New York City-based luxury label Khaite’s fall 2026 collection, a long-sleeve ensemble crafted with sheer black fabric and paired with Khaite’s Colleen pumps.
