Zoe Saldanya stood in the middle of the Oscar afterparty Sunday night at Vanity Fair's Oscars, holding an n-out burger in one hand and a statue of her best supporting actress on the other.
She hugged Cynthia Eribo twice and laughed for a selfie with Gale King. Queen Latifah applauded as she twirled around the center of the dance circle.
If Adrian Brody had similar moves, he kept them to himself. He brought Oscar for the best actor and his parents.
“We're very embarrassed,” his father, Elliot Brody, deadpanned.
At Vanity Fair's annual Post-Oscar Party, ceremony winners and Rans streamed one after another for hard drinks and victory laps.
The party is one of the most coveted tickets for Oscar night, despite the busy calendar at events hosted by Madonna and Jay-Z. Most other parties are rarely stimulating the same bouncing or attracting the same star density for invitations.
Guests entered through an elaborate system of tents outside the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, then posed for the photographer's phalanx.
Once inside, Timothy Chalamet greeted the enthusiastic Sachabaron Cohen and held hands with Kylie Jenner. Jenner eventually headed to the bar where she met her sisters, Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian.
Isabella Rossellini held the courthouse on a gorgeous sofa at the back of her room. She said that part of the awards ceremony that she remembers most was its “Memoam” segment.
“I think it was the moment I saw a picture of David Lynch,” she said of her former partner. “It made it a reality.”
The Vanity Fair Party was first held in 1994 at Morton's Restaurant in Melrose. There, Nancy Reagan, Donald Sutherland and Jean Hackman were one of the 100 dinner guests.
It eventually spills into the car park behind the restaurant and moved to the Sunset Tower Hotel in 2009. The party survived the departure of Vanity Fair's editor-in-chief Greydon Carter in 2017.
On Sunday, Carter's successor, Radica Jones, greeted all the winners when they arrived. She temporarily practiced the Russians with the cast of “Anola”, the winner of the best photos.
The film is a drummer about a stripper who marries the son of an oligarch hard-party and has won five Oscars, including the best actress. Mikey Madison accepted the award and changed from the pink satin gown she wore to a totally black strapless dress.
She placed the statue on the side table and relaxed on the couch next to film director Sean Baker.
In the evening there was no shortage of risk fashion. Megan Theo wore a mossy green gown that was fully visible enough to require matching nipple covers. Olivia Wilde wore a lace mosquito net in Chloe's dress. Zoe Kravitz wore a black gown with a thin panel on his back.
Gap designer Zac Posen said he was impressed by the “fashion food” parade that went down the Oscar red carpet.
“I thought Hollywood had come out,” he said.
He decorated model Cara Delevingne for the party in a sophisticated strapless denim gown with matching gloves. However, Sarah Paulson's asymmetrical Marc Jacobs creation was characterized by a tumour of a cloth pillow protruding from her shoulders and hips.
After midnight, Paulson took off her heels and danced barefoot with the doja pussy for the “highway to hell.” The rapper waited in line for a drink in one of her song “Paint the Town Red,” which she performed on the dance floor.
Lil Nas X rapped along the lyrics in her absence. “I said what I said.
Guests seemed eager to unleash at the end of the unusually rocky awards season. After a fatal wildfire devastated the Los Angeles area in January, ceremonies after ceremony sought to strike a tricky balance between gloomy reflections and the ornate glamour of normal self-congratulations.
The “brutists” were then criticized for using AI's voice tools to enhance the Hungarian who Adrien Brody is talking about. The faint-hearted tweet was unearthed by “Emilia Perez” star Cara Sofia Gascon.
Gascon attended the Oscar ceremony on Sunday night, but was not found at a vanity fair party.
Selma Blair, who attended with her arched service dog scout, said she thought the television broadcast had continued with the right amount of lightness. Zooey Deschanel said he couldn't hear many of the jokes aimed at rising prices on Netflix and the disaster of Gascón's spokespersons.
“I was at Elton John Party so there was a lot of side talk,” Deschanel said.
As the night went up, the waiter almost stumbled on the train at Serena Williams' Lacey Black Gown. One guest's curly hair was instantly stuck in a decorative topiary, and another attendee dropped the burger on the floor, which he retrieved and bite.
Sometimes the event had a messy office holiday party atmosphere.
“Meet Jack,” Margaret Quarry told Stephanie Guillon, a makeup artist who won an Oscar for his work in “Material.”
Quarry turns around and finds out that her husband, producer Jack Antonov, has disappeared.
“Where did Jack go?” she said. (He was on the other side of the patio, chatting with Kravitz and Natasha Lyon.)
By 1am, most guests were considering their next move. Fernanda Torres had a temporary struggle to find her car in a pickup area packed with black SUV
Conan O'Brien felt almost felt according to the plan, as he was his first time holding the awards ceremony.
“Yeah,” he said. “I did what I wanted to do.”
