The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Women in Entertainment event in Beverly Hills was nothing short of a fashion spectacle. On Wednesday, the red carpet was graced by a galaxy of stars, each showcasing a unique take on modern elegance.
Jennifer Lopez, renowned for her bold fashion choices, didn't disappoint. She embraced a monochrome look with a skirt suit that exuded sophistication. The ensemble featured a blazer-inspired top with a plunging neckline and subtle waistline pockets, complemented by a flowing midi skirt. Her taupe suede pumps added the perfect finishing touch. Lopez, who frequently collaborates with stylists Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi, truly made a statement.
“Fashion is about making a statement, and tonight was all about celebrating the power and influence of women in entertainment,” Lopez shared.
Gwyneth Paltrow opted for timeless elegance in a crisp white midi dress paired with striking red pumps. The dress, with its column silhouette and front slit, was both modern and classic, enhanced by the textural allure of white tweed. Paltrow's choice of red pumps injected a vibrant pop into her look.
Kerry Washington brought texture to the forefront in a Jonathan Simkhai creation. Her coordinated Zander Jacquard bustier top and Vionna Jacquard midi skirt featured botanical patterns and a waxed finish, creating a rich visual texture. Paired with metallic pointed-toe pumps, Washington's look was both innovative and chic.
Chase Infiniti made a bold entrance in a Proenza Schouler dress, styled by Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald. The charcoal gray dress, with its high neckline and one-shoulder silhouette, was a masterclass in asymmetry. The fabric draping and pleating added depth and drama to the ensemble.
Dakota Johnson kept it classic with a little black dress from Khaite. The "Splitsville" star wore a sleeveless design with a hemline just below the knee, paired with sleek black pumps. Her look was the epitome of understated elegance.

Hosted by Rachel Sennott at The Beverly Hills Hotel, the evening highlighted the achievements of its distinguished guests. Jennifer Lopez received the Equity in Entertainment Award, while Gwyneth Paltrow was honored with the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award.
