Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber were all in attendance.

Unfortunately, not every celebrity outfit was a winner.

The Oscars red carpet has some competition: the Academy Museum Gala.

Since 2021, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles has hosted the gala to celebrate film and raise funds for future exhibits.

This year, celebrities came out to support, and they mostly did so in style.

Taylor Swift, for example, wore one of her best outfits of the year to the event on Saturday.

Unfortunately, there were some fashion duds, too.

These are the best and worst outfits we saw throughout the night.

Taylor Swift looked like a princess in a baby-blue gown with a glittery bow.

It had all-over ruching, a sweetheart neckline, a floor-length skirt with a short train, and a silver bow that extended down its bodice.
