Witches Unite at Academy Museum Gala as Elizabeth Olsen and Aubrey Plaza Share Limelight

The red carpet is where the real magic happens unless the Spider-Men of the three timelines are caught in the matrix of No Way Home. This is probably why other than the glitz and glam the stars bring on their coattails, Tinseltown galas have fans glued to their screens despite the physical distance. Although the scope of the multiverse has actually seen actors who have donned the same or similar characters confront each other through variants, the Academy Museum Gala gave birth to its multiverse moment in upside-down fashion with Elizabeth Olsen and Aubrey Plaza.

Though getting star-struck is basically a given on any red carpet, this moment had doubled the magic, leaving fans absolutely breathless.

It turns out that while Hollywood’s A-listers were busy serving up glam, Wanda Maximoff aka Elizabeth Olsen, and Aubrey Plaza's Rio Vadal, were out there doing the witches' dance at the Academy Museum Gala. Olsen channeled her inner sorcery in an all-black Nina Ricci ensemble, complete with a sheer net structure covering her strapless dress all the way from her chest to her face, adding the enigma. And if that does not scream witchy vibes, perhaps nothing might.

Meanwhile, Aubrey Plaza hit the fashion radar in a sheer nude Miu Miu gown, with sparkly embroidery strategically placed where it counts. The dress came complete with two cute side bows. Although red carpets tend to serve up déjà vu moments every season or save up the highlight that recurs at every next one, this magical style moment from the fan-favorite witches was pure spice, and second to none.

Fans drool over Elizabeth Olsen and Aubrey Plaza with the witches' showdown at the Academy Museum Gala

Not too long ago, all the fashion policing over who wore the best and the worst at the Academy Museum Gala kept everyone busy. But it took just the witches’ chant through Elizabeth Olsen and Aubrey Plaza to take fans on a different star trip, which they now find too difficult to escape. Although fans were always ready with their seatbelts when the two took the screens, a red carpet power move as big as this may have caught some off guard.

Some fans have already dubbed them “mothers” while others are too star-struck to get over the same. A few even plead for backstage pictures like the on the carpet ones did not satiate the hunger.

Although it is still up in the air whether their characters will ever cross paths on-screen, this real-life moment makes one thing clear: if it ever happens, the hype will be through the roof. If fans can barely handle a red carpet moment together, just imagine the chaos an on-screen duo would cause.
