Diane von Furstenberg added another dollop of elegance to Oscar week with her sixth annual Academy Awards luncheon, co-presented with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, honoring the female nominees of the 92nd Academy Awards. The luncheon took place at the designer‘s private Los Angeles residence, and was hosted by Ava DuVernay, Tessa Thompson and Dawn Hudson.

The all-female attended event celebrated women empowerment with nods to DVF’s In Charge campaign. Guests included women nominees, entertainment luminaries, philanthropists, VIPs, and supporters of the museum, which will open later this year. When it does, it’s slated to become the world’s premier institution dedicated to the art and science of movies. Located on Wilshire and Fairfax in Los Angeles, the museum, which has been designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Renzo Piano, will be simultaneously immersive, experimental, educational, and entertaining.
