With its **opulent ambiance** and a guest list that reads like a **Hollywood Hall of Fame**, it was an event where both winners and iconic figures mingled under one roof.
The Elusive Allure of Vanity Fair
Despite stiff competition for attention from other exclusive events, Vanity Fair remains unmatched.

Guests included billionaires like **Jeff Bezos** and **Sergey Brin**, rock legends such as **Mick Jagger** and **Debbie Harry**, and a plethora of pop stars and celebrities.

With this eclectic mix, the energy was palpable, creating an atmosphere electric with connectivity and camaraderie.
Timeliness: The Key to a Successful Night
Timing is crucial during Oscar night. Many attendees focus on hitting events when the energy peaks but depart before the crowd dwindles. For many, this unraveling social setting becomes a dance of careful coordination to maximize the experience without missing crucial moments. With only a select few events open to the press, journalists often find themselves hopping from the **Academy’s Governors Ball** to Vanity Fair’s elaborately curated party.

The atmosphere took a heartfelt turn when **Jenna Ortega**, known for her rising fame, was seen teary-eyed as she exchanged emotional greetings with fellow actors.

A Culinary Extravaganza Amid Chill Vibes
Food and drink always play a pivotal role in high-profile events, and this year was no different. Guests were treated to exclusive dishes from acclaimed chef **Evan Funke**, including delicious slices from a custom pizza bar. However, the **chilly weather** led many guests, primarily dressed in trendy but less practical outfits, to remain indoors. **Ciara’s** daring sheer attire stood out as she jovially chased down servers for **In-N-Out burgers** with her husband.

As the night wore on, the youthful energy was palpable. Stars like **Kylie Jenner**, who arrived with **Timothée Chalamet**, showcased the ever-evolving landscape of Hollywood, where newcomers quickly find their footing alongside established names.

The palpable energy resonated through flashbulbs capturing moments that, outside of this cycle, might remain unseen.
A Night of Reflection and Celebration
As the clock struck midnight, the vibes shifted between lingering celebrations and quiet introspections. Many celebrated wins while others took a moment to reflect. **Queen Latifah’s** departure with her partner drew lighthearted banter about her performance earlier in the evening, reminding guests that the night was not only about recognition but also shared experiences within a community.

With a mix of laughter, emotional exchanges, and late-night confetti, the party gradually wrapped as the clock approached 1 a.m. The glow of the event shimmered even as guests started filtering out, like **Natasha Lyonne**, whose playful vibe echoed throughout the venue.
