A vibrant gathering of A-listers marks the lead-up to the Oscars, showcasing not only their style but also sharing heartfelt stories about their cinematic inspirations.
The patio of an exclusive venue transformed into a vibrant hub of Hollywood elite as A-listers gathered for a notable evening celebrating the Academy Awards season. Among the attendees were well-known actors and industry heavyweights, each engaging in animated conversations and showcasing their distinctive fashions.
Notable figures included Jon Hamm and his wife, Anna Osceola, who were seen engrossed in conversation with Edgar Ramírez, recognized for his role in the Best Picture nominee Emilia Pérez. Hamm later exchanged pleasantries with Radhika Jones, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair. Meanwhile, Zoë Kravitz, serving as a Saint Laurent ambassador, made a striking appearance in an eye-catching orange gown with a flowing train and ruffled lace neckline, where she relaxed on a sofa while engaging with actress Sasha Calle.
The evening also featured Adrien Brody, who is viewed as a contender for his second Oscar for his portrayal of a Holocaust survivor in The Brutalist. Brody was seen conversing with Georgina Chapman, the Marchesa designer who is also his girlfriend, and Anthony Vaccarello, the creative director of Saint Laurent. Following their discussion, Vaccarello greeted Olivia Wilde with a warm double kiss on the cheek, and soon after, Ruth Negga joined them for further lively exchanges.
Negga, who was previously nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in Loving, shared her early cinematic fashion inspiration, citing Michelle Pfeiffer’s portrayal in Grease 2. “It was Michelle Pfeiffer in Grease 2,” Negga recounted. “She does this song called Cool Rider… I just loved it. I think of that outfit so often.” Dressed elegantly in a Saint Laurent ensemble featuring a lamé dévoré velvet cropped top and ruffled skirt, Negga’s reminiscence added a personal touch to the evening’s conversations.
As the gathering grew with the arrival of stars like Kaitlyn Dever, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Dominic Sessa, attendees mingled over an array of culinary offerings, including wagyu taquitos and prawn croquettes, complemented by an abundance of Champagne. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and shared stories, creating an engaging backdrop for an evening dedicated to cinematic art.
Ramírez, dressed in a cashmere Yves jacket and trousers, shared his personal cinematic style icons, pointing to Michael Douglas in Fatal Attraction and Richard Gere in American Gigolo as quintessential examples of “effortless sophistication.” His reflections on film and fashion resonated with others, while Dever recalled her inspiration in pursuing acting—highlighting Toni Collette’s role in The Sixth Sense as a significant influence on her career aspirations.
The festive mood of the evening was encapsulated by Eydelshteyn, a 23-year-old Russian actor, who expressed the motivating nature of experiencing such a gathering. “Being at this Oscar party is incredible,” Eydelshteyn said. “I’ve seen so much beauty during awards season, and to me, beauty is the most inspiring thing.”
With glamour and creativity at the forefront of the evening, the party underscored the enthusiasm and camaraderie that characterize the lead-up to the Oscars, as celebrated figures continued to quote and reminisce about their inspirations in the film industry. The blend of high fashion and heartfelt acknowledgment of artistic contributions reflected the enduring allure of Hollywood.
