Hrithik Roshan makes stylish debut at LA's LACMA Gala, joins Kim Kardashian and Nicole Kidman
The guest list was packed with big names from film, music and fashion.
Hrithik Roshan brought a touch of Bollywood to Los Angeles on November 7, walking the red carpet at the 2026 LACMA Art + Film Gala. The actor is reportedly the first Indian star to attend the high-profile event, having received a personal invitation – a notable milestone for Indian cinema on the global stage.
The guest list was packed with big names from film, music and fashion. Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner were in attendance, as were Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, Andrew Garfield and Michelle Yeoh. K-pop was well represented too, with BLACKPINK’s Rosé and aespa’s Ningning among the guests.
A classic look
Hrithik went for a custom-tailored all-black suit – clean, understated and well-suited to the occasion. He greeted photographers and fellow guests with folded hands on the red carpet, a small gesture that drew plenty of attention online.
The gala, co-chaired this year by Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow, is an annual celebration of the relationship between art and film, bringing together influential figures from across the creative industries. Hrithik’s presence added to the growing international profile of Indian cinema and its stars.
Fresh from Jailer 2
The appearance comes shortly after Hrithik’s surprise cameo in Nelson Dilipkumar’s Jailer 2, which opened in theatres on October 15 and has been a hit at the box office.
