In its 14th year, StyleWeekOC® continues to evolve the fashion and beauty dialogue with can’t-miss community events. To further its efforts in this space and amplify the cultural currency of fashion weeks, StyleWeekOC® partnered with NBFF. The international film festival has been a lodestar for Newport Beach’s destination status with its formidable line-up of boundary-pushing, award winning films. 

The five-day event has become a mainstay of the Hollywood circuit with cinephiles and fashion lovers flocking to Fashion Island for major social moments. Uncover shopping parties, a men’s fragrance masterclass, red carpet premieres, and a special discussion with a fashion keynote presented in partnership with Women’s Wear Daily (WWD).

Newport Beach Film Festival Gala

Recognized as one of the largest luxury lifestyle film festivals in the United States, the Newport Beach Film Festival brings together a globally curated slate of films and cultural events on the Southern California coast.

The Festival is dedicated to showcasing contemporary screen culture, cinematic excellence, and championing visionary storytellers.
