Every A-List Look From The 2026 Oscars After Party

The Oscars may have concluded for another year, but for Hollywood’s fashion set, the night is only just beginning.

Once the 98th Academy Awards wrapped in Los Angeles, the industry’s biggest names migrated from the ceremony’s formal proceedings to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Over the past three decades, the after-hours gathering has evolved into one of the most coveted invitations in Hollywood.

Earlier in the evening, the Oscars red carpet delivered its customary spectacle of high-glamour black tie. Best Actress winner Jessie Buckley embraced theatrical elegance in a custom pink-and-red Chanel gown, while Kylie Jenner dazzled in a shimmering red Schiaparelli design complete with the house’s signature keyhole cut-out.

Red carpet fixtures including Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton and Nicole Kidman in Chanel ensured the arrivals retained the polish and grandeur expected of cinema’s most formal night.

But once the ceremony ends, the atmosphere inevitably shifts. The Vanity Fair Oscar Party has long functioned as Hollywood’s unofficial second red carpet, where the strictures of ceremony dressing softens and personal style takes precedence.

Freed from ceremony constraints, guests tend to lean into bolder silhouettes, archival fashion and more playful interpretations of eveningwear.

This year’s celebration also marks a change of scenery, with the event making its debut at the soon-to-reopen Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The location may be new, but the premise remains the same.

Below, see the standout looks from the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet as the A-list arrives.
