Demi Moore Says She Wanted to Dress the Part of a Presenter at the 2026 Oscars—She Still Looked Every Bit the Silver Screen Icon

Demi Moore Says She Wanted to Dress the Part of a Presenter at the 2026 Oscars—She Still Looked Every Bit the Silver Screen Icon

Courtesy of Ermoshevich Sergei Courtesy of Ermoshevich Sergei It’s also why Moore enjoyed sitting front row at his show during Milan Fashion Week. “I loved these archetypes of the Gucci customer, the Gucci lover, on the runway,” Moore tells me. Demna has always been one to build a character, leaning on the real world for inspiration. His show featured the kinds of people you see wearing Gucci on the street: A British lad wearing a fanny pack as a crossbody, perhaps, or a party girl clad in an über mini dress or an oligarch with bulging biceps. Past the storytelling, Moore appreciated the actual clothes. “In a very practical, pragmatic way, there was something on the table for all of us,” she says. She is particularly enjoying Demna’s menswear. She’s picked up a pair of jeans from his Pre-Fall 2026 collection, which she’s been wearing everywhere. “I don’t like using the word unisex, I prefer open for personal interpretation,” she says. Demi Moore at the 98th Annual Oscars held at Dolby Theatre on March 15, …

The Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026 Was a Family Affair

The Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026 Was a Family Affair

As the indelible Dom Toretto said in the classic film Furious 7, “I don’t have friends. I got family.” At Sunday night’s Vanity Fair Oscar Party, however, attendees proved that even in this economy, it’s possible to have both. The silver carpet at our ultra-exclusive celebration after the Oscars 2026 was jam-packed with mini family reunions, including groupings of siblings, parents and their kids, and even a stray grandparent in the mix. All three daughters of Meryl Streep and Don Gummer—Mamie Gummer, Grace Gummer, and Louisa Jacobson—were in attendance in dramatically different ensembles, a contrast to their shared genetics. Celebrated director Steven Spielberg posed for press with his 13-year-old granddaughter, Poppy Gavigan, on his arm. Timothée Chalamet didn’t just spend the evening with his high-profile partner, Kylie Jenner, he also brought sister Pauline Chalamet along for the fun.

With an ultra-exclusive guest list that brings together Oscar winners, athletes, fashion designers, billionaires, studio heads, artists, actors, musical icons, models, and more, the Vanity Fair Oscar Party is more than a starry Oscar after-party; it’s an institution.

NOW: Watch the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Live Though the location of the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026 has changed, as the bash makes its debut at the soon-to-reopen LACMA this year, one thing remains the same: the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet requires a look all its own. As stylist Rachel Zoe recently told VF’s Elise Taylor, the outfit change is not superficial; it could help transform an actor’s mindset as they went from the …

Michael B. Jordan’s Basketball Coach Saw His “Always Focused” Drive from the Beginning

Michael B. Jordan’s Basketball Coach Saw His “Always Focused” Drive from the Beginning

Michael B. Jordan made history on Sunday by becoming the sixth Black actor to win best actor at the Oscars. He was honored for his performance in Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, with his mother in the crowd as he accepted the golden statuette. Two other figures in Jordan’s life had long sensed the extent of his talent. His Newark Arts High School drama teacher, Carl Gonzalez, and basketball coach, Roger León, said in interviews with People that his potential was already visible when they first knew him. “His relationship with Ryan Coogler is not to be dismissed—not at all,” Gonzalez told the magazine. “Those two may end up being like Scorsese and De Niro.” Gonzalez detected in a young Jordan a focus and work ethic that set him apart from his peers. “I’m not surprised by any of this,” he added. “The sky is the limit for this guy.” The teacher met Jordan when he was a junior in high school and his career was already taking off. At the time, the young actor …

What the 2026 Oscar Acting Nominees Are Doing Next

What the 2026 Oscar Acting Nominees Are Doing Next

After their major wins at the Oscars 2026, it’ll likely be another few years before we again hear from Hollywood’s auteur filmmakers like Paul Thomas Anderson, Joachim Trier, and Ryan Coogler. But audiences won’t have to wait long for some of this year’s acting-Oscar nominees and winners to grace their screens again. Nominees like Jacob Elordi and Kate Hudson are both headed back to their TV day jobs—as wayward fuckboy Nate Jacobs on Euphoria season three (HBO, April 12) and sleek basketball team president Isla Gordon on Running Point season two (Netflix, April 23), respectively. Meanwhile, newly crowned best-actor winner Michael B. Jordan is wrapping his next directorial feature, The Thomas Crown Affair, and Elle Fanning is preparing to make her first major movie with older sister Dakota: an adaptation of the best-selling World War II–set novel The Nightingale. Whether your favorite performer is poised to be back in the pop-culture conversation or planning to go into ghost mode until the Oscars 2027, here’s your guide on where to watch the 2026 acting-Oscar nominees and …

Oscars 2026: What You Didn’t See on TV

Oscars 2026: What You Didn’t See on TV

Oscar Snack Pack If you’ve ever wondered how Academy Awards attendees make it through the long ceremony without getting the munchies, the answer is a little brown cardboard box sitting underneath each seat. This year it was packed with salty and sweet treats like popcorn and Sour Patch Kids, as well as a personal note from host Conan O’Brien himself. Conan O’Brien’s note to attendees A Room to Watch A lot of the real action at the Academy Awards happens just offstage in the Oscars Greenroom, which has been hosted and designed by Rolex since 2016. It’s where winners exhale, presenters rehearse, and the unflappable suddenly feel their hair standing on end. This year’s space was conceived as a tribute to the watchmaker’s heritage as it celebrates the centennial of the Oyster, the world’s first waterproof wristwatch. Green velvet carpet and seating were accented with champagne-gold finishes to create a sense of old-school elegance. Pictures commemorating a century of movie history lined the walls. And as the staging ground for one of the most tightly …

Teyana Taylor Reacts to Security Guard’s “Disrespect” in Post-Oscars 2026 Confrontation

Teyana Taylor Reacts to Security Guard’s “Disrespect” in Post-Oscars 2026 Confrontation

No matter how often you walk the red carpet, being a celebrity is certainly no walk in the park, as a tense interaction between best supporting actress nominee Teyana Taylor and a security guard at the Oscars 2026 Sunday evening proves. Video posted to social media Sunday after the ceremony showed Taylor stopped in the midst of a crowd heading backstage at the Dolby Theater for a cast photo to celebrate One Battle After Another’s six Oscar wins. “You’re a man putting your hands on a female,” she can be heard saying, adding, “you’re very rude.” She was reportedly reacting to a male security guard who she said shoved her in the crowd, in an attempt to block her and Warner Bros. co-chair Pamela Abdy from their destination. “He literally shoved me,” she explained to a nearby onlooker as Abdy held her hand. “He was damn near shoving her.” Taylor’s reps declined to further comment on the incident when contacted by Vanity Fair. Shortly after the altercation, Taylor spoke to TMZ. “I just don’t tolerate …

Inside Vanity Fair’s 2026 Oscar Party With Nicole Kidman, Timothée Chalamet, Mick Jagger, and More

By 11 p.m., it was time for another high-profile KarJenner arrival: Kylie Jenner, in a plunging McQueen dress with a feather train, walking the red carpet hand-in-hand with Timothée Chalamet. They were swarmed with well-wishers when they arrived. Kaia Gerber got introduced to Love Story’s Paul Anthony Kelly outside, and soon they were chatting about their respective Ryan Murphy shows. (Even though Kelly had lost his voice, he could still carry both a suit and a conversation.) Zoe Saldaña walked on by, In-N-Out burger in hand. Callum Turner and Dua Lipa were there, looking oh so in love. But when do they not? Paloma Elsesser Getty Images. As the clock ticked well past midnight, the night’s biggest winners continued to roll in —including Michael B. Jordan, who got a warm welcome from Odessa A’zion. For those who rolling out, chilly guests were offered sozni pashmina shawls by Swadesh and Gnarwhal Coffee & Donuts as they waited to depart. Inside, a waiter approached the bar, asking the bartender to check for cigarettes she could hand out …

KPop Demon Hunters Oscar Wins Mark an Historic Victory For Korean Pop Culture

KPop Demon Hunters Oscar Wins Mark an Historic Victory For Korean Pop Culture

If you didn’t previously have a young person to educate you about the luring power of KPop Demon Hunters, their double wins at Oscars 2026 cemented the dominance of Korean pop culture in Hollywood. The Netflix film, which follows two fictional K-pop bands, HUNTR/X and Saja Boys, took home Oscars for best animated feature and best original song on Sunday. During the Conan O’Brien-hosted 98th Academy Awards, the singers who voice HUNTR/X—Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami—also performed their winning tune “Golden” before a lively, lit-up crowd. Co-director and writer Maggie Kang and producer Michelle Wong became the first people of South Korean descent to ever win in the animated feature category. They accepted the award with co-director Chris Appelhans. “To all the fans who got us here and for all of those who look like me, sorry that it took us so long to see us in a movie like this,” Kang said of her fellow Korean people. “This is for Korea and for Koreans everywhere.” Meanwhile, Appelhans spoke about the power of storytelling …
