- The 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party featured an ultra-exclusive guest list including Oscar winners, athletes, and fashion icons.
- This year marked the party’s first occurrence at the newly reopened LACMA, representing a major venue change.
- Stylist Rachel Zoe explained that outfit changes help guests transition psychologically from the ceremony to the celebration.
- Personal style was highlighted as a key aspect of the red carpet, exemplified by Kendall Jenner and Julia Fox’s looks.
It’s very much about the psychology of how they feel. They’re in this gown for Oscars because you’re nominated or even win. Or maybe you’re presenting. It’s a very intense moment. The change is like, ‘OK, let’s go see everyone and have fun now,’” she said.— Rachel Zoe, stylist, in a Vanity Fair interview with Elise Taylor
