Lori Loughlin and daughter Olivia Jade go glam in sequins and lace at LACMA gala 2026
New chapter, new chop.
Lori Laughlin, 61, hit LACMA’s Opening Gala for the new David Geffen Galleries on Thursday night, debuting an above-the-shoulder haircut and a sparkling silver gown that had fans doing a double-take.
The Hallmark star wore a Rebecca Vallance silver sequined gown ($1,360), a square-neck number with crystal-trimmed straps, an open back and a thigh-high slit.
She finished the look with silver ankle-strap stiletto sandals, diamond stud earrings and a metallic manicure.
Her bouncy new bob, courtesy of hairstylist David Naumann, flipped out subtly at the ends, with soft sideswept bangs. It’s a departure from the long brunette waves she’s sported on recent red carpets.
Daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli, 26, joined her mom on the carpet, getting glam in an Elie Saab Fall 2026 gown with a black lace bodice and voluminous satin skirt.
The influencer’s ensemble was pulled together by stylist Siena Montesano Gones.
It was another strong showing for Loughlin, who last month drew a wave of positive attention after stepping out at the Women’s Cancer Research Fund’s “Unforgettable Evening” gala.
The “When Calls the Heart” actress has been slowly reemerging on the scene since splitting from husband Mossimo Giannulli in October after nearly 28 years of marriage.
Sources told Us Weekly earlier this month that she’s been “putting herself back out there” and dating again — “just having fun and keeping things light and casual,” per an insider.
Thursday’s black-tie affair inaugurated LACMA’s long-awaited Peter Zumthor-designed David Geffen Galleries, drawing a heavy-hitter guest list that included Alicia Keys, Sharon Stone, Eva Longoria, Heidi Klum and Paris Hilton.
Loughlin will return to her role as Abigail Stanton on “When Calls the Heart” when Season 14 premieres later this year.
