Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026 Red Carpet Rundown | Part One

Posted on March 19, 2026

It’s four days post-awards season which means we are way past the time when the attendees of the Vanity Fair Oscar party had their outfits assessed by us. We made some leeway before now, giving spotlight posts where we could (which you can catch up on here), but these poor folks have been waiting far too long to find out if we like their outfits. Let’s help them out.

 

Audrey Nuna in Maison Margiela Couture

Pure stunning. It’s too much, but it’s the good kind of too much.

 

Colman Domingo in Jacquemus
Pin

As always, he looks fantastic, but we can’t say we’re loving the innovative way of wearing a pocket square.

 

Da’Vine Joy Randolph in Karla Gil
Pin

We love that she’s working a sheer lace, but it’s not enough to overcome our dislike of sheer lace on the red carpet. The bust design is especially bad.

 

Demi Moore in Balenciaga
Pin

Still very tired of seeing feathers on the red carpet, but this is darkly glamorous, like an updated Norma Desmond.

 

EJAE in Dior
Pin

Wow, her first misstep. The textile is dreary looking.

 

Eiza González in Miu Miu
Pin

She looks like she can’t breathe in it, but the design is pretty and glam.

 

Felicity Jones in Valentino
Pin

Love the color, hate the tiers, the high waist, and those silly dangling straps.

 

Hannah Einbinder in Colleen Allen
Pin

Meh. She picked up a dressing gown to dress up a boring frock. Unimpressed.

 

Jane Fonda in Rodarte
Pin

Can’t argue with that. We’re not sure if the necklace works well with the neckline, but it’s gorgeous.

 

Kate Hudson in Gucci
Pin

She looks hot in it, but she looks like she’s wearing a sport bra.

 

Kiernan Shipka in Rodarte
Pin

We’re a little surprised to see her in something so girly and precious, since she’s worked very hard to get away from that image. We wish we could say we like it, but it’s way too “little girl’s bedroom.”

 

Kim Kardashian in Gucci
Pin

We can’t get mad at it. We wish she had feet and we think it looks like she can’t breathe in it (which is par for the course), but we can’t deny it’s a spectacular gown.

 

 

Matt Bomer in Brioni
Pin

Your Gay Mystery Date has arrived.

 

Meg Ryan in Nina Ricci
Pin

We don’t love the color, but it’s a great, classic gown and it’s styled well for her. Love the bangle.

 

Paul Mescal in Celine
Pin

You’ll pry those goofy-ass ties out of his cold, dead hands.

 

Priyanka Chopra (in Dior) and Nick Jonas
Pin

We can’t say we love the idea of a beige dinner jacket, but we also can’t say he looks bad in it. Her gown would be flawlessly stunning without that horrible muppet trim.

 

Rei Ami in Quine Li
Pin

We love Big Fashion, but this looks way too heavy and fuzzy for us to love it. She must have been sweating her ass off.

 

Rose Byrne (in Dior) and Bobby Cannavale
Pin

She looks very relaxed and chic. They look great together.

 

Sarah Paulson in Matières Fécales
Pin

It’s insane and we love it. The shoes made us laugh with delight.

 

Simone Ashley in Tamara Ralph Couture
Pin

One thing’s for sure: that’s the most fabulous paramecium dress we’ve ever seen. No, it’s not the only one.

 

Sofia Vergara in Zuhair Murad
Pin

The beading placement is deeply unfortunate.

 

Suki Waterhouse in Tamara Ralph Couture
Pin

And now our second-favorite paramecium dress! The skirt is gorgeous. The “top” is definitely unique, but we can’t say we love it.

 

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner (in McQueen)
Pin

We laughed out loud at this shot. He looks like such a goofy-ass poser with his pants tucked into his boots. It’s all so affected and try hard. Her dress is fine but it’s too tight.

 

Tracee Ellis Ross in Marine Serre
Pin

Lady, your skirt looks like laundry.

More to come in Part TWO!
