Lívia Nunes Marques might just be the coolest girl in town. The cultural trailblazer—known simply as Lívia—has collaborated with fashion heavyweights Dior, Miu Miu, and Prada, and now she’s touched down in Los Angeles for one of the fashion calendar’s most glamorous nights: the LACMA Gala.

From the outside, getting ready for a night like this might look effortless. But behind every show-stopping look is a world of planning, inspiration, fittings, and finishing touches—because when it comes to a gala, getting dressed is an event in itself.

So before making her grand entrance, Lívia pulled back the curtain and invited V along for the ride, offering a glimpse into the art of getting gala-ready, from the first details to the final look.

“GOOD MORNING, BITCH! IT’S LACMA DAY!”

“First dip of the day in the prettiest pool in LA. My kind of meditation.”

“Breakfast at the Polo Lounge. Pancakes with vanilla butter, eggs benedict and… my ride-or-die, iced matcha.”

“In the glam chair with these two!! Safe in the hands of Patrick Ta and Jake Gallagher for a wilddd change.”

“Danyul’s reaction says it all – blondes have more fun!! Our reference was Linda Evangelista in the 90’s.”

“A little lunch, a little touch-up”

“Made it to the LACMA Art + Film Gala!!! Trying to play it cool.”
