Once the gold statues were awarded and the telecast had ended, the place to be was the numerous Academy Awards after parties Hollywood had waiting. The Vanity Fair red carpet rivals that of the actual Oscars, where celebrities that missed the ceremony brought a drama all of their own.

Before the event had even started industry invitees were sharing behind the scenes captures, Ciara completing her shimmering ensemble with a final flourish of a statement earring. Zoey Deutch turned heads in Valentino Couture (and deserved Best Actress for her effortless cape wrangling). The photo booth was full with model muses Lily Aldridge and Behati Prinsloo, and Winnie Harlow caught every moment of the night in her Instagram stories.
