All The Best Looks From The 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars After Party

The 2026 Oscars has officially wrapped up in Los Angeles, which means just one thing: it’s time for the after party. As is customary, stars have descended onto yet another red carpet for the Vanity Fair Oscars after party, for a night of celebration following the official wrap of the awards season.

It has been a huge season, culminating in the 98th Academy Awards, which delivered on virtually every front — from the record-breaking dominance of Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, which entered the night with 16 nominations and left with four wins, to ELLE‘s January cover star Jessie Buckley completing her incredible 2026 awards season run with her win in the category of Best Actress for her role as Agnes Shakespeare in Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet. The Kerry-born actress — who swept every major award in the category this season — delivered one of the most moving acceptance speeches in recent memory, dedicating her award to “the beautiful chaos of a mother’s heart” on Mother’s Day in the UK. There was barely a dry eye in the Dolby Theatre.

Michael B. Jordan claimed Best Actor for Sinners in an equally emotional moment, thanking his parents and the giants who came before him in a speech that brought the room to its feet. One Battle After Another rounded out the night by claiming Best Picture, giving Paul Thomas Anderson his long-awaited Academy recognition.

Now, with the speeches made, the tears wiped, and the adrenaline still very much running, the industry’s biggest names have changed into their after party looks. And if you’re done with reliving all the biggest moments from the 2026 Oscars, rest assured that, if anything, the fashion is only getting better. The beauty in the after party is always the way celebrities often lean into more playful and experimental looks, whether it’s with bold makeup looks or mini dresses that nod to the party energy. It’s also a much wider guest list, so you can expect a wider breadth of stars showing off their looks on the carpet.
