‘Splitsville’ Star Adria Arjona Showed Up in Black and White and Stole the Night
Few stars have had a busier fall than Adria Arjona. After a string of runway appearances and red carpets, her black-and-white gala look is the style moment fans keep sharing. This autumn she walked the runway at Vogue World Milano, attended the Max Mara Spring/Summer 2027 show and shopped in Milan with boyfriend Jason Momoa.
Back in the States, she has been promoting the A24 action slasher ‘Onslaught’, in which she plays an army sniper named Celeste. The press tour has leaned into bold, monochrome dressing, including a black strapless column dress from Calvin Klein Collection Fall 2026 at the Los Angeles premiere on August 26.
Now new photos from Arjona’s Instagram are making the rounds, showing the actress in the strapless black column gown with a sculpted white neckline that she wore to the sixth annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on October 17. In one shot, she poses on a balcony framed by greenery, and in another, she stands in a warmly lit hallway with a white stole draped over her arms.
W Magazine credits the dress to Rasario, while CelebMafia describes it as a custom creation. The asymmetrical white neckline sits above a sleek black column skirt, which leaves that curved detail as the focal point of the whole look.

Her styling stayed refined to let the dress do the talking. She pulled her hair back into a polished updo and added a delicate necklace and earrings, all by Tiffany & Co. The jewelry choice makes sense. Arjona is a Tiffany & Co. ambassador and starred in the house’s 2026 Valentine’s Day campaign.
Earlier this month, her stylist Dani Michelle shared another Tiffany look from a Paris dinner, so the brand has been a steady presence in her fall wardrobe. The gala is billed as the West Coast answer to the Met Gala, and this year’s edition honored Charlize Theron, Colman Domingo and John Carpenter, with Taylor Swift set to perform.
Fan accounts shared photos of Arjona posing with Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria and Camila Cabello over the course of the evening. In a crowded room of dramatic gowns, the high-contrast silhouette stood out. Fashion sites praised the look for its mix of classic black-and-white elegance and a modern twist, and the Instagram photos have given it a second life online.

Style isn’t the only reason Arjona is getting attention. She is reportedly part of James Gunn’s ‘Man of Tomorrow’, the sequel to ‘Superman’, although DC Studios hasn’t confirmed which character she plays.
That uncertainty has fueled speculation that she could be linked to Wonder Woman. DC Studios hasn’t named its next Wonder Woman, and Gunn has reportedly shut down the chatter following an accidental ‘Man of Tomorrow’ tease from Frank Grillo.

For now, Arjona is enjoying one of the biggest seasons of her career, moving between fashion weeks, premieres, and a gala that put her in front of Hollywood’s biggest names. At 34, she has become one of the most closely watched actresses of the season, and her red carpet choices are a big part of why.
