If you didn’t know, the Oscars Ceremony starts at 4 in the afternoon west coast time, and you might be thinking, that’s kind of weird. But it’s actually for the best because everyone knows the best part of the Oscars is the Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Radhika Jones. The fashion is more daring, and the guest list is stacked with nominees, winners, legacy legends, and new icons alike. In fact, there are plenty of people at the 2025 Oscars After Party who don’t even have to go to the ceremony because they’re not nominated, but are there to party, so they start arriving when the show starts. Later tonight, the winners and nominees will be joining them in second looks. What a powerful night in fashion.

Early attendees include legends like Sarah Paulson and Mick Jagger, plus new kids on the block like Cole Escola, Maude Apatow. We can expect stunning second looks from people like Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Lily Rose-Depp, Elle Fanning, and of course, others. But we should also expect the Vanity Fair After Party’s regular guest list, like Hunter Schafer and Kendall Jenner. We’ve already seen appearances on the carpet from John Mulaney and Olivia Munn, John Waters, and Hannah Einbeinder.
