The Frankenstein star photographed Jenner while she had her Valentino dress adjusted on the red carpet. Jenner then waited for Elordi while he posed for photographers. She stood with her older sister, Kim Kardashian, and friend Hailey Bieber before the group headed inside together.
The pair’s red carpet moments drew attention as romance rumors continued to follow them. Elordi and Jenner have been spotted together several times since speculation about their relationship began in spring 2026. However, neither star has publicly confirmed or addressed the rumors.
Elordi wore a custom Bottega Veneta tuxedo with a white shirt and sunglasses. Jenner chose a custom black-and-white polka-dot Valentino dress and paired it with Cartier jewelry. She told Vogue that she had long wanted to wear polka dots on a red carpet. Jenner said she discussed the idea with her stylist, Danielle Goldberg, months earlier and shared photos for inspiration.
Jenner also praised the dress’s fabric and details during her Vogue interview. “The fabric this dress is made of, silk, is so yummy,” she said. She added that the black beaded dots on the lower half made the design special. Jenner called it “one of the favorites I’ve worn on a carpet!”
The Academy Museum Gala celebrates and preserves cinema. This year’s event featured a performance by Taylor Swift, while filmmaker and composer John Carpenter, Colman Domingo and Charlize Theron were among the honorees. Organizers said proceeds would support museum exhibitions, educational programs and public screenings.
Elordi and Jenner’s interaction also drew attention as speculation about their relationship continued. Neither has publicly confirmed that they are dating.
