Oscar Winners Cause a Frenzy: Mikey Madison and Adrien Brody Mobbed at Vanity Fair Party
Right as the clock struck midnight the party really kicked off when two of the biggest Oscar winners Mikey Madison and Adrien Brody arrived. It was like a celebrity stampede. Brody fresh off his Best Actor win for "The Brutalist" walked in with his Oscar in hand and fashion designer partner Georgina Chapman by his side. Suddenly photographers were everywhere and A-listers were lining up to congratulate him. Conan O’Brien Queen Latifah Vin Diesel Jon Hamm Jerry Bruckheimer even Diplo all stopped Brody to give kudos and maybe check out that shiny gold statue.
Meanwhile Mikey Madison who snagged Best Actress was getting her own celeb love fest on the outdoor patio. Her "Scream" co-star Jenna Ortega Madelyn Cline Hunter Schafer and a whole crew of young Hollywood stars gathered around to celebrate with her Oscar. Seriously these two winners were THE people to see at the party.
Zoe Saldaña's Family Affair and Timothée Chalamet & Kylie Jenner Get Cozy After the Ceremony
Zoe Saldaña another Oscar winner arrived with her whole family in tow Oscar in hand and ready to celebrate. She even joked about letting her boys decide where to put her award as long as they promised not to fight with it. Inside she linked up with Cynthia Erivo another style icon of the night and they held court in the middle of the room surrounded by fellow celebs like Lena Waithe Serena Williams and Debbie Allen. Burgers In-N-Out burgers that is were spotted in Zoe's hands as she and her family enjoyed the party vibe.
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner also made a power couple entrance skipping the red carpet but arriving inside to join the party. Timothée and Kylie swapped their formal Oscar ceremony looks for something a bit more relaxed and well... sexy. Timothée went for an unbuttoned tux while Kylie rocked a lace corseted gown. They celebrated Timothée's nomination with family including Kylie's sisters Kim and Kendall Jenner and his "A Complete Unknown" co-stars Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro. All the stars were out!
Naked Fashion Takes Over: Celebs Bare It All (Almost) at the After-Party
Forget subtle glamour this year's Vanity Fair party was all about naked fashion . Yep you heard that right. Celebrities were embracing the "less is more" memo and showing some serious skin. Olivia Wilde rocked a sheer lace negligee Julia Fox went full see-through in a wrap dress and even Doja Cat who already stunned in diamonds on stage dialed up the naked factor with a custom gold beaded gown that left little to the imagination. Kendall Jenner also joined the trend in vintage black lace and Leslie Bibb went for the nude sparkly look. It seems like baring it all is the new black in Hollywood after-party fashion.
Fashion experts are saying naked dresses are not exactly new but they are definitely having a moment again. Sheer lace is especially popular right now fitting into the whole bohemian vibe that is trending. Apparently the Vanity Fair after-party is the place to go bold and let loose with fashion after the more formal Oscar ceremony. However not everyone is loving the trend. Melissa Rivers fashion commentator and daughter of Joan Rivers declared she is "completely over it" calling it "exceptionally bad" and "not a new trend" that just keeps coming back around.
Chaos and Camaraderie: Oscars Statues Go Missing Selfies Galore and Lil Nas X Owns the Dance Floor
The party was not just about fashion it was pure Hollywood chaos in the best way. Director Sean Baker arrived with FOUR Oscars for "Anora" and then promptly seemed to lose track of them. Seriously Oscars were being passed around posed with and momentarily misplaced amidst the frenzy of the "Anora" crew's celebration. One publicist was even overheard freaking out about almost leaving one at another party. Even The Washington Post temporarily became the guardian of Baker's Best Director statue at one point!
Selfies were of course a must. Mark Hamill basically fanboyed over Cynthia Erivo asking for a picture because his daughter would kill him if he did not. Cynthia Erivo was definitely a major draw everyone wanted to congratulate her after her amazing opening performance with Ariana Grande. Sarah Paulson made a grand entrance in a massive red dress that required its own personal space bubble. And Lil Nas X basically ruled the dance floor twirling twerking and generally having the time of his life with a champagne glass in hand. It was THAT kind of party.
