The biggest challenge at Vanity Fair’s star-studded Oscar party is making your way around the packed room without stepping on the trains of the flowing gowns being trailed behind the most A-list attendees.
Among the kaleidoscope of circulating celebs, Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos jumped into action and was seen at one point carrying around the train of fiancée Lauren Sanchez’s Oscar de la Renta gown in a particularly crowded corner, as Jon Hamm posted up at the bar.
Nearby Kim Kardashian — in her own avant-garde froufrou white frock by Balenciaga and made of Tyvek — was hanging with singer Ciara and NFL star Russell Wilson. (Her dress’ extra-tough material would make any stomping moot.)
Making the starry scene surreal, across the room, Selma Blair was holding court with her Labrador service dog, Scout.
The party, held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, also brought together Hollywood’s top execs including Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who was chatting with the CEO of Comcast, Brian Roberts.
Power producer Brian Grazer held court at the bar nearby Endeavor power agent (and Sanchez’s ex) Patrick Whitesell, at the Beverly Hills space designed by Basil Walter and Will Cooper.
The night’s Oscars host, Conan O’Brien — who got high marks from attendees — also hit the VF party, and was seen chatting with comics Ray Romano and Nate Bargatze.
Ben Stiller was buzzing around the room and greeting guests.
Miley Cyrus arrived with her date, Maxx Morando, and when she spotted CAA power agent Kevin Huvane, called out “Kevin! Kevin!” to greet him and enthusiastically show him her shoes — which she boasted were by Christian Louboutin for Maison Margiela.
In another corner at the sprawling space, Beck chatted with Bill Maher, while Kevin Bacon was in deep conversation with megaproducer Jerry Bruckheimer.
Hollywood favorite and “Tonight Show” bandleader Questlove was seen talking to Vanity Fair editor in chief, and the night’s host, Radhika Jones, as well as annual Oscars party attendee Monica Lewinsky.
Mick Jagger, who was a surprise presenter at the awards, surveyed it all from the corner of the room, as Katie Couric said she’d attended the Vanity Fair dinner with Jagger before the party and sat next to “Oh, Mary!” star Cole Escola.
“Wonder Woman” herself, Gal Gadot, was in a starry gaggle with “Borat” actor Sacha Baron Cohen, and outside — where pizza by Mother Wolf chef Evan Funke was served — Justin Theroux was showing off selfies to some pals, next to “family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane and Paris Hilton.
The night’s best actress winner Mikey Madison was the toast of the party, and attended with her UTA agents Rachel Arlook and Rich Klubeck.
In-N-Out Burgers were also served, and when it was all over, guests could grab cappuccinos and gourmet donuts by the valet stand. Zooey Deschanel was seen enjoying a treat waiting for her car, as Kyle MacLachlan had a late-night cup of joe.
