Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars assemble for Las Culturistas Culture Awards

Jul 18, 2025

Stars have come out in force for a night celebrating the “most iconic and consequential moments of the year”.

On Thursday night (US time), Los Angeles played host to the 2025 Las Culturistas Culture Awards, a brainchild of the popular Las Culturistas podcast.

From Sarah Michelle Gellar to Jeff Goldblum, plenty of huge Hollywood names glammed up for the event, but we really need to talk about Allison Janney.

The screen icon embraced one of the biggest (not to mention most headline-making) red carpet trends in recent years – going pants-free.

The West Wing star wore an asymmetrical blazer dress that reached the floor on one side and skimmed her hip on the other, revealing a black bodysuit underneath.

Iconic.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at what everyone else wore!

Thanks to the revival of the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise, Sarah Michelle Gellar is well and truly back in the spotlight.

The Buffy star wore a red strapless leather dress for the Las Culturistas awards, teaming it with black accessories and gold jewellery.

Alison Brie, meanwhile, sparkled in a metallic minidress.

Yep, forget the little black dress – Brie is making a case for the little silver dress.

The Community star walked the purple carpet with her husband and fellow actor Dave Franco.

Quinta Brunson also brought some sparkle to the event.

The Abbott Elementary creator and star wore a peach-hued gown with a stunning beaded and sequinned bodice, the design reminiscent of a butterfly’s wing.

All-black outfits proved a popular choice on the night.

Jeff Goldblum, accompanied by wife Emilie Livingstone, went for a leather jacket and pants over a black shirt.

Meanwhile, both Kristen Wiig and Paige de Sorbo went for black dresses – Wiig in a bubble-style design and de Sorbo in a belted strapless gown, teamed with a large fascinator that wouldn’t be out of place on a British royal family member.

We also had some Aussie representation at the event.

Yellowjackets star Liv Hewson teamed black pants with a ruffled white button-down.

However, the award for the most unusual red carpet look has to go to Megan Stalter.

The comedian and actress, who is currently starring in the new Lena Dunham-created series Too Much, dressed as… well, as Diet Coke.

The Hacks star teamed a pinstripe miniskirt with a top made of Diet Coke boxes.

“Diet Coke? Call me back I’m trying to get a brand deal,” she joked on Instagram after the event.

“Open to working with Sprite as well.”
