Lori Loughlin made a striking impression with what appeared to be a dramatic transformation at the opening gala for LACMA’s David Geffen Galleries in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The actress, best known for her role in “Full House,” swapped her familiar girl-next-door image for the allure of a Hollywood bombshell.
At 61, Loughlin dazzled in a glimmering silver gown that featured a daring high slit, perfectly paired with sparkling high heels reminiscent of JLo’s iconic style.
Her hair was styled in a voluminous, tousled bob, while her makeup was bold, with dewy lips, giving her a camera-ready glamour.
This transformation follows her separation from husband Mossimo Giannulli, a fashion designer, in October 2025. The couple, who were married for nearly 28 years, have yet to finalize their divorce.
The actress was joined by her daughters Isabella Rose, 27, and Olivia Jade, 26, whom she had with Giannulli.

In October, it was revealed that Loughlin and Giannulli had separated and a close friend later alleged that the actress uncovered ‘incriminating’ texts and emails on his phone.
‘They are living apart and taking a break from their marriage. There are no legal proceedings at this time,’ Loughlin’s rep told the Daily Mail at the time.
A source also told People how their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, feel about their parents separating.
‘It’s obviously been tough, but Olivia and Bella aren’t taking sides. They both love their parents and just want them to be happy.’
The insider added that there is ‘no resentment’ and their daughters are ‘focused on keeping things peaceful and staying close as a family.’
In January, it was reported that Loughlin was still ‘angry’ with Giannulli as their living arrangements were also revealed.
‘Lori is still extremely angry with him,’ a source told People, who then added that they have been living ‘separate lives’ since their split.

Another insider stated that Giannulli ‘thinks she’s a lovely person and an incredible mom’ and ‘wants everything resolved quietly.’
In February, the fashion designer was seen with stylist Hannah Harrison for the third time as they stepped out together in Sherman Oaks.
The pair were first spotted in October of last year, followed by a second meeting the following month at West Hollywood nightclub Zouk LA.
However, after Giannulli and Harrison were first seen together, the stylist told Us Weekly that they were only ‘good friends.’ She further explained that they met up at a store so she could pull clothes for his brand.
‘We were not there together [and] we are not dating. We are good friends. He was just meeting me at the store.’
Harrison added that both she and Giannulli had arrived and left the location separately.
Two months after their separation came to light, the actress was spotted with a male TV executive in Los Angeles.
The pair grabbed a bite to eat for lunch and representatives later told the Daily Mail that the man was ‘an executive at Starz.’

In 2019, both Loughlin and Giannulli were arrested after they allegedly paid $500,000 to give their daughters entry into USC as recruits for the crew team, although the two had never played the sport.
Loughlin notably spent two months in prison while Giannulli was sentenced to five months.
The star was also fined $150,000 and ordered to complete 100 hours of community service, while the fashion designer was fined a larger amount of $250,000 and ordered to complete 250 hours of community service.
