In Beverly Hills, the Vanity Fair party proved to be a radiant finale for the Oscars night, offering a spirited atmosphere filled with celebrities celebrating the completion of a long awards season. Timothée Chalamet, despite not clinching the best actor award from Adrien Brody, entered the party with a cheerful demeanor. Once inside, he was surrounded by friends and loved ones, including his girlfriend’s sisters, Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner. Casual and relaxed, Chalamet had swapped his bright yellow tuxedo from the ceremony for a black suit and white shirt. His conversations, even amid the loud music, were lively; he extended a warm welcome to Kylie Jenner with a friendly kiss.
Comedian Chris Rock, empathizing with Chalamet’s Oscar loss for his role as Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown,” loudly proclaimed that Chalamet had been robbed, as they posed for pictures. Chalamet, not lingering on the night’s loss, chatted enthusiastically about his upcoming project, “Marty Supreme,” in which he’ll portray an intense table tennis player. He found inspiration for the role in legendary tennis player John McEnroe, whom he embraced during the party.
Meanwhile, Oscar winners and nominees kicked off their night of celebrations at the Governors Ball, an essential stop located just a few steps from the Dolby Theatre. Among the happy crowd was Zoe Saldaña, who captured the best supporting actress award for “Emilia Pérez.” With her new Oscar in hand and husband Marco Perego-Saldaña by her side, she basked in celebration as he documented the moment with a photo. The triumph of the night, however, went to the creators of “Anora,” with Sean Baker and Mikey Madison proudly having their Oscars engraved as David Bowie’s “Modern Love” played. Not far behind was Adrien Brody, basking in his own success for “The Brutalist.”
The Vanity Fair party later in the evening became a vibrant hub for Hollywood’s elite, hosted by the magazine’s editor Radhika Jones. Invoking a nostalgic 1970s vibe, the event transformed into a glorious celebration, complete with a giant disco ball and golden carpets. Highlights included Mick Jagger, who came back to join the festivities after presenting the best original song Oscar. The music, favoring disco beats, resonated with classics including a remix of Jagger’s “Satisfaction.”
Standing among the stars was Zoe Saldaña, proudly displaying her engraved Oscar, taking photos with Jessica Alba. Despite the presence of numerous well-known faces, Britt Lower, star of the TV sensation “Severance,” drew plenty of attention from fellow celebrities, including Olivia Rodrigo, who approached her with enthusiastic praise alongside her boyfriend, Louis Partridge.
Elton John’s elaborate Oscars party, infamous for its entertainment value, offered guests a memorable night with performances from pop sensation Chappell Roan. The audience was captivated by her energetic renditions of “Hot to Go” and “Good Luck, Babe.” Not withholding his musical talents, Elton John joined Roan in duets, even wearing a flamboyant pink cowboy hat she gifted him.
As the Vanity Fair gathering dwindled, young Hollywood stars gathered on the patio, including Rodrigo and Partridge who mingled with Margaret Qualley, Jack Antonoff, Jenna Ortega, and Kaia Gerber. The evening concluded with a delightful slice of pizza for Serena Williams, among others, as they prepared to leave. The energy remained high all the way to the valet stand as attendees awaited their rides, highlighted by appearances from stars like Andrew Garfield, departing with Monica Barbaro amidst dating speculations over the past weeks.
