When we hear Oscars, we think about the glittering gowns on the red carpet and powerful speeches. But when celebrities hear about the Oscars, they mainly think of three things: what they’ll wear, who will win, and, of course, where they’ll party. While there are the Oscars itself, there are also the ever-so iconic pre-Oscar parties and Oscar afterparties. Now the pre-Oscar parties have long since ended, but the after parties are just beginning.
While there are probably way more after-parties than most realize, most eyes are glued to who’s attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party. Both parties are for the nominees, winners, and VIP guests who want to celebrate the Oscar season.
Just like the Oscars, the red carpet fashion is a must-see. If you didn’t see your favorite celebrity on the Oscar red carpet, chances are that they’re already attending one of the legendary afterparties. From glittering designer gowns to stars revealing their baby bumps, the night never seems to stop.
Check out all of the stars who showed up to either the Vanity Fair Oscar Party or the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party below.
