Kim Kardashian turned heads with her bold hair and makeup choices as she joined the celebration of Hollywood’s grandest evening at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar party.

Known as one of the most sought-after afterparties of awards season, the Vanity Fair gathering is where the stars of Tinseltown come together to celebrate their achievements and relish in Oscar triumphs.

The 2026 event maintained its reputation for attracting the industry’s most renowned figures, with reality star and actress Kim Kardashian making a stylish entrance among the glitterati.

Kardashian graced the red carpet in towering platform heels, donning a golden dress reminiscent of the Oscar statuette, perfectly accentuating her famous silhouette.

Her look was further elevated with striking eye makeup and color contact lenses that ensured she stood out from the crowd.

She was not the only member of her well-known family to make an appearance at the event.

Meanwhile, Jessica Alba absolutely wowed in a plunging sequined dress adorned with delicate feathers.  

The actress – who has starred in a series of major films –  rocked the red carpet in sexy heels concealed beneath her glittering dress and a pair of teardrop earrings. 

Glaser, meanwhile, looked absolutely breathtaking in a sizzling red dress with floral decor. 

The 2026 Academy Awards saw Michael B. Jordan and Jessie Buckley take home the night’s top acting honors with One Battle After Another earning Best Picture. 

The legendary bash, which was founded by former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter in 1994, always takes place after the big awards show, where Hollywood’s finest celebrate their wins and commiserate their losses.

Guests in previous years have included Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and wife Lauren Sanchez, Kim Kardashian, Julia Fox, 50 Cent, and even President Donald Trump.

But according to a new Q+A by Guiducci, 36, in Tuesday’s edition of Feed Me – a daily Substack newsletter about the spirit of enterprise by Emily Sundberg – this year’s party will be different to previous iterations.

Guiducci was asked about the ways in which he keeps the brand’s Oscars party ‘fresh’ and how he thinks about it now that he has inherited it from Carter.

It was then that he revealed the big changes that will be happening.

‘This Sunday, we will have a smaller guest list than in recent years and are cultivating a sense of privacy so that people can let their hair down,’ Guiducci revealed in Feed Me.

He also shared that even though this year’s red carpet will be ‘bigger than ever,’ the only journalism coming from inside the party will be that of Vanity Fair – meaning that no other outlets will have access.

Guiducci described the guest list as a ‘mix of legends’ and ‘young people who feel very right now.’

He said that they will come from Hollywood but also ‘tech, politics, fashion, and journalism, with a dash of Europeans.’

This year’s party will also see a change of scenery, as it will be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Last year’s party, albeit full of celebrities, managed to make headlines as Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet put on a loved-up display, and a snubbed Demi Moore consoled herself with a bowl of French fries.

One Battle After Another ended the 2026 Oscars by winning Best Picture on a night where Michael B Jordan and Jessie Buckley earned top acting prizes.

Jordan, 39, shocked the world as he upset Timothee Chalamet to win Best Actor for Sinners as Buckley, 36, took home Best Actress for her work in Hamnet.

Paul Thomas Anderson accepted the top prize of the night alongside Teyana Taylor and the rest of the cast and crew as the film earned the most wins of the night with six.

The American black comedy action-thriller film triumphed over a massive, competitive, field including: Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, Sinners, and Train Dreams.

Anderson, 55, – who wrote and directed the film – made sure to recognize his fellow nominees during the acceptance speech as he said: ‘In 1975 the Oscar nominees for Best Picture were Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Jaws, Nashville and there is no best among them.

‘It is just what the mood might be that day, but we’re happy to be part of this, a wonderful, wonderful journey with our fellow nominees, our fellow filmmakers that even weren’t recognized by The Academy.’
