Some of the brightest stars in Hollywood showed up to enjoy the big event hosted by Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Radhika Jones in celebration of the 95th Academy Awards. The festivities kicked off with a 5 pm dinner at a custom-designed, open-air space that connects the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts with Beverly Hills City Hall for around 100 guests to view the big show. The festivities continued with a party following the Oscars. Following the show, the dining room was transformed into a nightclub with a central round DJ booth and bar, presented by Richard Mille.

Janelle Monae went from stunning at the Oscars to STUNTING at the Vanity Fair party. The carpet area featured a custom-built illuminated 10-foot high photo backdrop wall of large-scale Vanity Fair letters in silver, against a hand-painted blue backdrop. Some of our favorites hit the 125-foot-long Sapphire Blue carpet, which served as the primary photo and video moment for arriving guests.

One of our favorites last night had to be Savannah James — who has been killing every carpet she steps on with styling by Icon Billingsley, who helped her serve BAWDY in custom Sergio Hudson for the VF event.
Mrs. James wasn’t the only beauty with an incredible stylist putting in work…

Listen, we know y’all wanna know if there was food. And there was plenty of it. The central courtyard extended out to the east onto a custom-built platform constructed around existing palm trees. The platform nearest to City Hall featured a 30-foot-long pizza bar, with three custom-designed pizza ovens where famed chef Evan Funke was slinging his magical dough late into the night. A second Vanity Fair photo booth lived adjacent to the pizza bar. Evan Funke of Mother Wolf teamed up with Paula LeDuc Fine Catering & Events, whose team provided assistance for the evening and In-N-Out burgers were served over the course of the party.
