On Sunday evening, the heart of Hollywood will pulse with cameralights and couture as Vogue World: Hollywood takes centre stage at the historic Paramount Pictures Studios Lot in Los Angeles. Set for 6 p.m. PDT, the event marks a bold new chapter in the annual fashion‑meets‑entertainment spectacle, marrying runway glam with silver‑screen legacy.

For the first time, the show will pivot strongly into the realm of film—not just as inspiration, but as collaborator. From iconic costume designers whose work defined cinematic eras, to luxury houses re‑imagining legendary film looks, the evening promises to blur the lines between screen and style.

The Venue: Classic Hollywood Redux
The choice of venue is telling. The Paramount Pictures Studios Lot, one of Hollywood’s last remaining major studio lots, is a place where legends such as Sunset Boulevard, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Psycho were shot. With its backlot streets, historic soundstages and cinematic aura, the setting supplies more than a backdrop—it provides atmosphere. Guests can expect wreath‑lighting, old studio signs, period vehicles parked alongside the runway and a set design that nods to the glitz of Tinseltown’s golden age.

The organisers describe the evening as a “one‑night‑only show with a huge cast of models and actors, setting great film costumes next to brilliant fashion collections.” In other words: part tribute, part spectacular.

Film, Fashion and the Costumes That Tell the Story
What makes this edition unique is its emphasis on costume design as a bridge between cinema and couture. Designers whose names are indelibly linked with major motion‑pictures—such as Colleen Atwood (Edward Scissorhands), Ruth E. Carter (Black Panther) and Catherine Martin (Moulin Rouge!)—will have their past work featured alongside newly‑commissioned pieces inspired by film themes.

Luxury fashion houses aren’t standing on the sidelines either. Brands including Valentino, Balmain, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu and Alexander McQueen are contributing creations that reinterpret on‑screen icons through a runway lens.

Beyond fashion, the evening will bring in choreography by Fatima Robinson, music overseen by the duo behind Sounds We Feel, and set direction from film‑savvy designers accustomed to marrying visual spectacle with narrative.

Glamour With Purpose: Charity at Its Heart
Though the event oozes glitz, its philanthropic core sets it apart. 100 % of ticket revenues—and the proceeds from a curated capsule collection created in collaboration with Fear of God designer Jerry Lorenzo—will support the Entertainment Community Fund (E.C.F.). The focus? Costume‑industry professionals whose livelihoods were disrupted by the recent Los Angeles wildfires.

This emphasis on the behind‑the‑scenes makers—craftspeople, stitchers, wardrobe assistants—offers a meaningful dimension to what might otherwise be a purely spectacle‑driven night. As one Vogue editor put it, the event has become “a runway show‑as‑rallying‑cry … a way to fix the attention of a huge global audience, to bring awareness, and sound an unmistakable note of positivity, creativity and hope.”

What to Expect on Sunday

Red Carpet Arrival: From 5:00 p.m. PDT, guests will descend upon the lot, walking through a recreated “studio street” and arriving in vintage cars.
The Show Begins (6:00 p.m. PDT): A high‑drama sequence opens with a short film montage of classic Hollywood moments—then the runway lights up.
Runway Segments: The evening will play like a cinematic anthology: “Golden Age”, “New Wave”, “Future Icons”. Each segment pairs a costume legacy piece with runway reinterpretations.
Musical & Dance Interludes: Star performances (including a live set from Gracie Abrams and a surprise cameo by Doja Cat) will punctuate the show.
After‑Party: Post‑show an invite‑only gathering on the backlot, overlooking the “Giant Soundstage” façade and featuring immersive photo‑installations.

Livestream access will be available on vogue.com for audiences outside Los Angeles, ensuring global reach for the spectacle.

Why This Matters
In a time when fashion weeks and film festivals compete for attention, Vogue World: Hollywood occupies a bold middle ground. It leverages the cultural capital of cinema—Hollywood’s mythos, the glamour of costume design, the star power of its participants—to elevate fashion into narrative form. And with charity woven into its fabric, it positions style as something not just observed but engaged.

For Los Angeles, the event invests in local creative workers, many who fell silent in the wake of natural disaster, reminding the world that fashion isn’t just about front‑row seats—it’s also about the hands that stitch, the minds that design and the communities that support them.

Final word: On Sunday the streetlights of Melrose will dim and the spotlights of couture will blaze. From the echo of film reels to the shimmer of silks, the stage is set for an evening where Hollywood meets haute. And with every ticket sold, the narrative extends beyond luxury—into empowerment, community and creative revival.
