Olivia Munn Dazzles in All-White During TIME’s Women of the Year Gala
Olivia Munn took center stage at the TIME 2025 Women of the Year Gala, rocking an all-white, ethereal Gaurav Gupta Couture gown that was as much about style as it was about significance. Strutting her stuff in West Hollywood, the 44-year-old actress and breast cancer activist reminded everyone that looking good and feeling good can go hand in hand—especially after her harrowing battle with the disease.
Her dress, with its futuristic swirls and strapless design, wasn’t just food for the eyes. Munn’s ensemble highlighted her status as a honoree at the gala, a nod to her brave advocacy for breast cancer awareness following her own shocking diagnosis in 2023. She candidly shared that even after receiving clean mammogram results, she underwent rigorous testing and was ultimately diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. In a gut-wrenching twist that highlights the importance of awareness, her journey led her to undergo a double mastectomy, alongside the removal of her uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. “I look at videos of me laughing with my son… while this really aggressive cancer was spreading through my breasts,” Munn revealed. Her experiences echo what many health advocates stress—regular check-ups and listening to your body is crucial.
Munn’s personal story serves as a wake-up call for many women who might think that a clean bill of health is a free pass. It’s refreshing to see a high-profile figure like her not just share her journey but spotlight the importance of awareness and early detection in a space where many might otherwise sweep such crucial topics under the rug.
In a world where style often trumps substance, Munn’s presence at the gala shines a light on real issues while rocking her flawless fashion choices. With her husband, comedian John Mulaney, cheering her on at the event, it’s clear that Munn is not just a star on the rise—she’s also an inspiration. And if you think her all-black vintage Yves Saint Laurent look from the SNL50 anniversary was gorgeous, you’re in for a treat when “Your Friends and Neighbors” premieres on Apple TV+ this April 11.
