2026 AFI Awards Luncheon Highlights: Chase Infiniti Stuns in Oscar de la Renta Floral Embroidery Ensemble
The 2026 American Film Institute (AFI) Awards ceremony was held on Friday, January 9, 2026, at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles in Los Angeles, California. It recognized the best films and television shows of 2025, including the drama/action picture “One Battle After Another,” which was well-represented by its cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti.
Chase Infiniti Payne, a Louis Vuitton brand ambassador noted for her presence at numerous esteemed award ceremonies this year, such as the 31st Critics’ Choice Awards, the 37th Palm Springs International Film Awards, and AARP The Magazine’s 24th Annual Movies For Grownups Awards, enthralled attendees at the 2026 AFI Awards Luncheon in her Oscar de la Renta Hoya sleeveless butter and golden cocktail minidress.
This Hoya sleeveless cocktail short dress was inspired by the Oscar de la Renta Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear collection designed by Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, and it included porcelain floral designs as well as sparkling crystal and sequin accents.
It also featured a round slit-neck bodice that showed off her grace and poise, as well as a sculptural skirt with exaggerated hips and a beautiful thigh-length hemline. This stylish shape of the dress really showed off Chase’s figure in a great way, mixing modern couture with classic design elements.
Complementing her ensemble, Chase Infiniti, the “Presumed Innocent” star, coupled her Oscar de la Renta floral embroidered minidress with Christian Louboutin Degraqueen heels, a daring move that complemented her entire outfit. These shoes, which debuted in the brand’s Fall/Winter 2023 and Spring/Summer 2026 collections, were crafted from luxurious translucent PVC and decorated with exquisite hand-placed crystal clusters.
Their pointed toe and 130 mm stiletto heel not only add glamor but also provide an enchanting sparkle that perfectly aligns with the shimmer of the Chase Infiniti dress.
To add an extra touch of sophistication, Chase Infiniti, a 25-year-old American actress, rounded off her dazzling appearance with EFFY Jewelry drop earrings and a matching ring that reflected the light brilliantly. She also carried a Strathberry tiny Mosaic tote bag, which gave a modern and practical element to her overall appearance while striking the perfect blend of beauty and functionality.
Chase Infiniti at the 2026 AFI Awards Luncheon was styled by her stylists, Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald (Wayman + Micah).
