Da’Vine Joy Randolph Wanted to “Give Drama—and Body” at the 2026 Academy Museum Gala


It was a fun night out for Randolph, who will now be getting back to her self-described creative grind. This fall, for starters, she has a brand new movie to promote: The Gallerist, co-starring Natalie Portman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jenna Ortega, Charli XCX, and more. “I’m excited! We filmed it two Januaries ago, and it is coming out December 4,” says Randolph, who has another exciting project in the works. “I’ve also executive-produced and played lead in my first movie called Dedicated to Morris Burke, and we filmed that over the summer. We’re now in early edits.”

Over the next two months, the actor will also be jumping into the busy swing of the 2027 awards season, with events like the 2026 Gotham or Governors Awards. She says the deep fashion preparations for those red carpets start. . . now. “I’m gearing up for awards season, which is great, so I can get used to being in corsets and getting dressed,” says Randolph. “Because when I’m off duty, I’m pretty chill.” Consider her striking ensemble last night the perfect training moment.
