The actress once again cemented her status as one of Hollywood’s best dressed at the Ghetto Film School Fall Benefit
Demi Moore is back in action on the red carpet.
After a stylish couple of weeks promoting her new movie, The Substance, the actress, 61, attended the Ghetto Film School Fall Benefit on Oct. 10 in another chic look styled by her longtime collaborator Brad Goreski.
Moore was an honoree at the event, and looked elegant in an oversized black pinstriped jacket and matching black pants, which she teamed with a white buttoned-up shirt and nude heels.
The actress, who appeared without her little dog, Pilaf, who often accompanies her on red carpets, wore large circle-framed glasses and had her hair down in loose waves. Moore also sported subtle fall glam, including a deep pink lip and blush.
The Ghetto Film School is an award-winning organization in New York, Los Angeles and London that educates and celebrates future storytellers. With its benefit, the nonprofit brings together entrainment leaders to uplift its mission.
Speaking on stage at the benefit, Moore told the audience that she was, “just so moved by this acknowledgement and the reflection that it offered me to just take a moment and pause and look at my own journey, how far I’ve come. And I look at the beauty of what this school offers and my own personal journey.”
“I’m a graduate from the university of fake it till you make it,” she playfully noted, adding that, “if I were to impart anything, is that I try to always stay in the place that I am still a learner. I am a student, and every day I open up my day with gratitude.”
Moore praised the “incredible community” of the Ghetto Film School, describing it as a “nurturing environment that gives you that confidence, that certainty when you don’t have certainty.”
She continued, “I look at the moments in my career that made the difference, and it’s when people believed in me more than I could believe in myself, and it gave me just that step further, and I look at what you’re doing here and I am just so blown away.”
Moore then encouraged the audience to never “stop stepping out of your comfort zone because when you try to play it safe, you never win. If I were to say anything to my younger self, it would say embrace and celebrate your mistakes. Embrace and celebrate your failures because they will be your greatest gifts. They will show you where you want to go.”
“Thank you so much for allowing me to be here tonight and share with my fellow nominees,” she said toward the end of her speech, adding, “I’m just so grateful.”
Moore has been experimenting with a variety of styles as of late, wearing a baggy Loewe ‘fit one night, a sparkly Michael Kors Collection skirt on another and then slipping into jeans and a crewneck for J.Crew’s fall 2024 issue.
It all aligns with how she’s truly feeling in her 60s — confident.
Appearing on the Today show in September, the mom of three opened up about the newfound thrill she’s felt in this new decade of her life.
“We are what the future is for women, and I look at having my daughters and I don’t want [it] to ever be in their minds that there is an end,” she said.
“To me, this is the most exciting time of my life. It is, I feel like my children are grown, I have the most independence and autonomy to really redefine where I want to go,” she added, insisting, “I don’t know what that looks like or where it is, but I’m just excited to be living in it.”
