Luxe LBDs Stole The Show At The Vanity Fair Young Hollywood Party
They just kept coming.
The week before the Academy Awards is always a jam-packed one for the Hollywood set. And this year’s pre-Oscars schedule is no different. Six days before the pièce de résistance of award season, the Time Women of the Year Gala and the Academy Awards Nominees Dinner were both held on Feb. 25. The Time soirée hosted Nicole Kidman, Olivia Munn, and more in elevated eveningwear. At the same time, notable nominees like Ariana Grande, Zoe Saldaña, and Demi Moore (to name a few) celebrated their performances at the Oscars dinner. The next day, the style streak continued at Vanity Fair and Instagram's Vanities: A Night For Young Hollywood Party. Inside L.A.’s Bar Marmont (located within the iconic Chateau Marmont) on Feb. 26, numerous Gen Z and millennial stars proved they’re ones to watch on the fashion front in a blend of archival, sheer, and cocktail attire.
Before heading into the iconic Sunset Boulevard hotspot, each VIP guest delivered a stylish step-and-repeat. One of the first to pose for photographers was Keke Palmer. The multi-hyphenate turned heads in a plunging Dior by John Galliano green gown from Spring 2004. Shortly after Palmer’s red carpet walk, Julia Fox made her grand entrance. She tapped into the menswear aesthetic in underwear-as-outerwear, alongside an oversized button-down and a leather blazer. Then, Anna Sawai arrived in an off-the-shoulder LBD, which debuted on the Carolina Herrera Fall 2025 runway just two weeks ago.
