There’s nothing like a little Hollywood glamour to bring back those childhood dreams of being a famous movie star, and Vanity Fair’s Oscar Party was filled with just that.

Ha, you thought you had heard the last of the Oscars, didn’t you? OK, this is the final story.

All the big names were Vanity Fair’s event but, to set the scene, I’m going to hand it over to the New York Times:

…if the Vanity Fair party was once about recreating the spirit of Old Hollywood glamour (there were “cigarette girls” as recently as three years ago), this was decidedly something else.

Some things, however, don’t change. Free of any controversy like blurting out “La La Land” to close out a night, Faye Dunaway took to a couch all alone and asked someone to pass the fries. There was Donald Glover speaking to Matt Bomer. And a bearded Drake a few feet away. And Salma Hayek grabbing an In-N-Out burger. And there was a conga line heading toward the exits that included Mary J. Blige, Sean Combs and Naomi Campbell.

The sports people were there — Lindsey Vonn, Kobe Bryant — along with the openly gay Olympians Gus Kenworthy and Adam Rippon. (Mr. Rippon, in a harness-cum-tuxedo, happily sat outdoors in the chilly 50 degree weather.)

And what of those cigarettes? Once freely available by the carton loads, they were now replaced by miniature “No Smoking” signs indoors. But at this party space — a custom-designed spot that connects the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts with Beverly Hills City Hall — there was the unmistakable smell of marijuana.
