The Gist

• Monica Lewinsky turned heads in an ultra-plunging LBD with sheer side cutouts at the 2026 LACMA gala on November 7.

• The writer’s daring black gown dipped down to her belly button with a sheer netted panel.

• Lewinsky previously wore the same dress while attending the 2025 Oscars after-party.

Monica Lewinsky had fans feeling déjà vu as she gave one of her most revealing looks yet a second red carpet appearance. On November 7, the activist joined the star-studded attendees at the 2026 LACMA gala while stepping out in an ultra-plunging sheer black gown that dipped all the way down to her belly button.

The 53-year-old star turned heads in the NSFW sleeveless LBD, which she previously wore at a 2025 Oscars after-party. As she posed outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Lewinsky showed off the column gown’s side-baring cutouts and its deep neckline, both of which were covered in sheer mesh panels. The see-through material was bejeweled with intricate black beads, creating a shimmering netted effect.

For her glamorous rewear, the podcast host styled her auburn-highlighted dark brunette hair in a voluminous half-up style with a deep side part, showing off a pair of silver earrings. She finished off her gala look with dainty bracelets and nude-colored pointed-toe stilettos that were covered in a sheer black lace overlay. Lewinsky accented her features with a warm peach flush on her cheekbones and eyelids, as well as a glossy pink lip.

While attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March 2025, the star styled the show-stealing LBD with the same shoes. However, she styled her brunette locks in a sleek side-parted blowout with piecey bangs and added some sparkle in the form of dangling pavé diamond earrings and cocktail rings.

Earlier this year, Lewinsky made a red-hot entrance at LACMA while attending the star-studded 2026 Oscars after-party. The TV producer tapped into her inner leading lady with the strapless red gown, which featured a low-cut sweetheart neckline that dipped to her ribs and a sculptural ruched bodice. Pushing her caramel-highlighted tresses behind her ears, Lewinsky switched up her signature glam with a bright red lipstick and added a pair of shimmering earrings.
