- The "Mufasa: The Lion King" premiere was hosted in Hollywood on Monday night.
- Celebrities like Beyoncé looked stunning on the red carpet in designer outfits.
- Others like Heidi Klum could have arguably made better fashion choices for the event.
The holidays might be on the horizon, but Hollywood is celebrating a different occasion: the upcoming release of "Mufasa: The Lion King."
Stars gathered at the Dolby Theatre on Monday night for the movie's red-carpet premiere, and many wore themed gowns and suits.
While some celebrities like Beyoncé stunned in their ensembles, others missed the mark.
Here are the best and worst looks of the night.
Beyoncé stunned in a golden gown with a plunging, tear-drop neckline.
Designed by Balmain, the form-fitting piece was strapless, floor-length, and decorated with reflective circle pieces.
The daring gown also featured an above-the-thigh slit down one side of its skirt.
The outfit's bold design stood out on the red carpet, and its golden hues complemented the movie premiere's yellow and orange decor.
Beyoncé's wavy blonde hair completed the look.
Heidi Klum's white gown didn't make much sense for the event.
She donned a white halter piece from Manish Malhotra that was covered from top to bottom in more than 100,000 pearls and crystals, as the designer said on Instagram.
The dress was stunning and would have been perfect for a holiday event.
However, its stark white color didn't match the event's aesthetic, making Klum's outfit appear out of place.
Chloe Bailey looked chic in a simple yet sentimental outfit.
She walked the red carpet in a strapless, shimmering gown crafted from sparkling blue fabric. The material was ruched across its bodice and extended into a floor-length skirt with a train.
Not only was the gown's shape flattering on Bailey, but its color was also a sweet nod to Blue Ivy, Beyoncé's 12-year-old daughter who made her voice-acting debut in the new Disney film.
"Blue for Blue 💙 i cried like a baby in my seat… loved this movie 🦁," Bailey wrote on Instagram after the premiere.
Jordyn Woods wore a dress that had potential but ultimately missed the mark.
Her custom dress from Minna Fashion had a single strap, a slit across its bodice, and a floor-length skirt with another cut that revealed her legs.
Her fuzzy coat was arguably the best part of her look. It added a few neutral shades and a contrasting texture to her sparkling dress.
The gown itself, however, was too light in color to stand out on the red carpet.
Fashion designer Olivier Rousteing brought his signature style to the movie premiere, and it worked.
Rousteing, the creative director of Balmain, was photographed at the event wearing a black blazer with sharp shoulder pads, a white button-up blouse, and baggy pants tucked into leather boots.
The outfit was memorable and perfectly represented both the fashion house and Rousteing's personal style.
It also blended classic menswear styles with fashion-forward accessory designs.
Billy Eichner's suit nodded to big cats — but not the ones featured in the movie.
The comedian stepped onto the carpet wearing an all-black ensemble comprised of trousers, a blazer, a T-shirt, and boots.
From afar, the outfit wasn't so bad, but Eichner's suit was subtly decorated with an animal print — leopard, to be exact.
The pattern didn't make perfect sense, considering "Mufasa" focuses on lions.
Tiffany Boone wore a colorful gown that looked like a piece of art.
Balmain created the red, yellow, and blue gown, which had a strapless neckline that extended above Boone's chest.
It was undoubtedly one of the most memorable outfits of the night.
The actor perfected her outfit with blue earrings, vibrant red lipstick, and a long ponytail that extended past her thighs.
