Calling Kayteighs, Readers, Finalists, and Publicists: it’s time to peer behind the scenes of the Las Culturistas Culture Awards. The LCCAs were held on June 17 at Lincoln Center, and the stage was filled with high glamor, high stakes, and high-larity. Co-hosted by Las Cultch’s own Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, the stage was filled with a cavalcade of iconic guests, including the very hot MUNA, the very talented D’Arcy Carden, and the very much currently-in-a-feud-with-Las-Culturistas George Civeris and Sam Taggart (of StraightioLab).

These show-stopping guests were there to either present awards or to receive them, but all were honored to be a part of Culture’s Biggest Night and all looked certifiably banging. To do our part for culture, Vulture captured them in the most aesthetically raw medium of all: the Polaroid. Now, reader, peruse your way through these beautiful creatures and make sure to remember to aspirate, because these girls will take your breath away.
