Demi Moore Steps Out In A Strapless Black & Lavender Gown At The Academy Museum Gala
The Substance actress was among the notable attendees at the sixth annual Academy Museum Gala, which took place at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 17th. She made a statement on the red carpet with a striking look that combined bold silhouettes with classic glamour.
The 63-year-old wore a strapless Standing Ground gown that had a sculpted black bodice with a curved neckline and a dramatic lavender skirt. The fabric gathered into dramatic folds, creating a contrast with the fitted top and giving the ensemble a sculptural look.
She completed the look with her dark hair swept up into an elegant, voluminous updo that highlighted her neckline. She also accessorized with diamond drop earrings from Chopard's Haute Joaillerie collection, along with sparkling jewelry that added to the glamorous outfit.
Demi's Appearance Sparks Concern On Social Media
While the mom-of-three's fashion choice caught plenty of attention, many social media users focused on her slender appearance after footage of the actress getting ready for the gala and walking the red carpet circulated online. Some viewers expressed concern about how thin she looked in the strapless gown, with several questioning whether she was doing well.
"I hate that we glamorize thinness so much that a celebrity looking skeletal is praised instead of being worried about," an Instagram user commented.
"This isn't okay, this isn't normal, and it's time we stopped pretending it is," another noted.
One concerned user wrote, "I hope she's okay," as another added that her appearance was "so sad."
A user labeled her physique "concerning," with others echoing the sentiment, "This is not okay."
