Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Academy Awards Viewing Party Red Carpet Rundown

Posted on March 06, 2025

We still have one more installment in our Vanity Fair Oscars red carpet coverage, but we thought we’d take a short break from that to check in on the folks at Oscar night’s loudest, tackiest party, the Elton John AIDS Foundation shindig.

 

Camila Cabello in Miss Sohee Couture

Did we mention that this was the tackier Oscar night party? Case in point. The gown would be tremendously improved by the removal of the beaded fringe. The necklace is hilariously wrong.

 

 

 

Christina Hendricks in Lizzie Agnew Couture

Very pretty and well-suited to her.

 

 

David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris

We want to ding them on the color choices but the longer we look at them, the more we like them.

 

 

Donatella Versace in Atelier Versace

A quietly spectacular gown.

 

 

 

Dylan Mulvaney in Celia Kritharioti Couture

It’s pretty enough, but pink and white don’t look great on her.

 

 

 

Heidi Klum in Marmar Halim
Pin

Meh. Looks kind of cheap and it’s giving her wildly uneven boobage.

 

 

 

Jean Smart in Versace
Pin

The color looks great on her and the beading is nice. That gold button, while a Versace signature, looks a little cheap here.

 

 

 

Lana Condor in Georges Chakra Couture
Pin

Pretty much the quintessential Oscar party dress.

 

 

Maria Bakalova
Pin

Cute.

 

 

Megan Thee Stallion in Julian Mendez Couture

It’s pretty wild that her Elton John party gown is more demure than her Vanity Fair party gown.

 

 

Michaela Jaé Rodriguez in MaisonMet
Pin

It’s pretty but we’re just about ready to declare a moratorium on these “swaddled in fabric” style gowns.

 

 

 

Sheryl Lee Ralph in Valdrin Sahiti
Pin

She doesn’t look very comfortable in it and it doesn’t deliver the kind of impact that would make any discomfort worth it.

 

 

Xochitl Gomez
Pin

It’s cute, but she looks like a cruise line performer.

 

 

Zooey Deschanel (in Versace) and Jonathan Scott
Pin

It’s nice to see her attempt to get away from the cutesy-twee styles she’s favored for decades. This outfit’s kind of awful, but we’ll give her a grace period to figure it out.
