Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026: Inside Hollywood’s Most Glamorous Afterparty

The Vanity Fair Oscar Party remains the crown jewel of Hollywood’s awards season, and this year’s celebration at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) was no exception. Reporters, celebrities, and fans alike soaked in the atmosphere as stars from film, television, and music arrived to keep the Oscars energy alive.

Red Carpet Encounters

The night was filled with spontaneous moments. Queen Latifah playfully video-bombed an interview, sparking laughter and nostalgia for her Chicago role. Nicole Kidman, newly single, turned heads in a gold gown, while Kim Kardashian struggled to glide in her golden Gucci look. Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner walked hand-in-hand, drawing attention as one of the evening’s most talked-about couples.

Star-Studded Arrivals

The guest list was a who’s who of Hollywood. Jimmy Kimmel, Larry David, and Taylor Tomlinson brought comedic flair. Jane Fonda and Hannah Einbinder added gravitas, while Nancy Pelosi and CNN’s Kaitlan Collins surprised with political star power. Anna Wintour, now global editorial director at The Independent, made a brief but stylish appearance.

Soon after, Kris Jenner arrived in Valentino, followed by Olivia Rodrigo, Colman Domingo, Jon Batiste, and Patrick Schwarzenegger. Fran Drescher stopped to discuss her SAG-AFTRA tenure, while Odessa A’zion charmed with her feathered gown and candid reflections on navigating red carpets.

Love and Laughter

Romance was in the air. Jessica Alba patiently waited for Danny Ramirez, Cara Delevingne rolled a cigarette, and Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor shared a laugh about their long relationship. The mood was lighthearted, with Ava DuVernay admitting she was most excited about grabbing In-N-Out burgers.

Emotional Highlights

Teyana Taylor grew emotional, expressing pride in the collective effort it took for artists to earn their place at the Oscars. Barry Keoghan celebrated Jessie Buckley’s historic Best Actress win, while Elle Fanning beamed about Sentimental Value winning international film.

The Winners Arrive

Toward the end of the night, Jessie Buckley and Michael B. Jordan arrived with their Oscars, flanked by publicists trying to usher them inside. Fans screamed as they caught glimpses of the newly minted winners, marking one of the evening’s most electric moments.

The Atmosphere

Between the aroma of In-N-Out burgers, bursts of laughter, and the weight of Oscar statues passed around by winners, the Vanity Fair Oscar Party once again proved why it’s the most coveted ticket in town. Glamour, spontaneity, and celebration defined the night.
