To complete the fashion flashback, Gerber's hair was styled in short waves like Jagger's.

Elliot Page wore a green flower, which could be a nod to a queer symbol.
Page attended the gala in a sleek black suit with a green flower.
According to Yahoo! Life, his inclusion of this floral accent may be referencing the queer symbol of the green carnation, a flower said to be worn by legendary 19th-century writer Oscar Wilde to subtly express his homosexuality.
As Insider's Mikhaila Friel noted, per Oscar Wilde Tours, "despite the flower being popular with Parisians who identified as gay during this time, there is little evidence to suggest the symbolism of the flower."
Page announced he is transgender in December 2020.

The "Riverdale" star swept up the museum steps in the sheer, corseted gown designed by Christian Siriano, the winner of the fourth season of the fashion-design show "Project Runway."

Chan was born in England after her parents emigrated from China.
