Saturday night’s annual Gold Gala, presented by Gold House, featured a bevy of high-profile stars on the Los Angeles arrival carpet in designer pieces from the likes of Aiste Hong to Anita Dongre and more.

Chrissy Teigen and Mindy Kaling led the designer style brigade, while Priyanka Chopra Jonas found a way to honor her heritage in a custom Amit Aggarwal piece. WWD breaks down those looks and plenty more ahead.

Teigen styled a look by Aiste Hong. The strapless dress featured a fitted bodice and cinched waist for definition in a dark fabric. The drop waist of the garment added a touch of modernity with a voluminous bubble style skirt in a contrasting shade of light blue. Teigen was styled by Alana Van Deraa for Saturday night’s event.

Styled by Erin Walsh, Kaling favored a look by Anita Dongre. The sleeveless gown included thigh-high slits at the sides and was crafted with ornate embroidery in jeweled tones of green and blue. The “Running Point” creator added shimmering jewelry pieces, including a simple bracelet and ring, to accent her attire.

Oscar-winning songwriter Ejae wore an icy blue gown courtesy of Leje for the Gold Gala. The K-pop artist’s strapless dress included white floral appliqués throughout, and a short train added a touch of drama to the overall look. Ejae often collaborates with styling duo Theo Song and Jeffrey Jin.

H.E.R. attended Saturday night’s event wearing a gown courtesy of Phan Huy’s spring 2026 couture collection. The strapless dress was crafted with a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt, with red petals and gold outlines cascading down the dress for a refined, regal effect.

Chopra Jonas, who was styled by Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald, wore a strapless gown by Amit Aggarwal. The Global Vanguard Honoree’s sari-inspired dress was designed in a collaborative effort between Aggarwal and stylist Ami Patel. The look marked a “defining moment for chikankari,” Patel wrote in a post on her Instagram account, referencing the dress. “We started with a two-decade-old chikan sari and reimagined it into this couture perfection, with Amit’s signature materials and modern texturizing. Marrying the vintage with the now. Softness with structure.”

Hosted by the nonprofit Gold House, the annual Gold Gala honors the contributions of Asian and Pacific Islander trailblazers in entertainment, business, fashion and more.
