Kim Kardashian shocks with extreme hair and make-up as she totters on Vanity Fair red carpet alongside Hailey Bieber
Kim Kardashian shocked with extreme hair and makeup as she celebrated Hollywood’s biggest night at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar party.
One of the hottest afterparties of awards season, the Vanity Fair bash is the place where Tinseltown toast to their accomplishments and bask in Oscars glory.
The 2026 party continued to live up to it’s reputation for hosting the biggest names in the industry with reality star turned actress Kardashian among the stars arriving in style.
Kardashian tottered onto the red carpet in massive platform heels as she rocked an Oscars gold dress that clung to all her curves.
A dramatic coat of eye makeup – along with color contacts – made her stand out even more.
She wasn’t the only member of her famous family in attendance.

Meanwhile, Jessica Alba absolutely wowed in a plunging sequined dress adorned with delicate feathers.
The actress – who has starred in a series of major films – rocked the red carpet in sexy heels concealed beneath her glittering dress and a pair of teardrop earrings.

The 2026 Academy Awards saw Michael B. Jordan and Jessie Buckley take home the night’s top acting honors with One Battle After Another earning Best Picture.
The legendary bash, which was founded by former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter in 1994, always takes place after the big awards show, where Hollywood’s finest celebrate their wins and commiserate their losses.
Guests in previous years have included Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and wife Lauren Sanchez, Kim Kardashian, Julia Fox, 50 Cent, and even President Donald Trump.
But according to a new Q+A by Guiducci, 36, in Tuesday’s edition of Feed Me – a daily Substack newsletter about the spirit of enterprise by Emily Sundberg – this year’s party will be different to previous iterations.

Guiducci was asked about the ways in which he keeps the brand’s Oscars party ‘fresh’ and how he thinks about it now that he has inherited it from Carter.
It was then that he revealed the big changes that will be happening.
‘This Sunday, we will have a smaller guest list than in recent years and are cultivating a sense of privacy so that people can let their hair down,’ Guiducci revealed in Feed Me.
He also shared that even though this year’s red carpet will be ‘bigger than ever,’ the only journalism coming from inside the party will be that of Vanity Fair – meaning that no other outlets will have access.

Guiducci described the guest list as a ‘mix of legends’ and ‘young people who feel very right now.’
He said that they will come from Hollywood but also ‘tech, politics, fashion, and journalism, with a dash of Europeans.’
This year’s party will also see a change of scenery, as it will be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Last year’s party, albeit full of celebrities, managed to make headlines as Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet put on a loved-up display, and a snubbed Demi Moore consoled herself with a bowl of French fries.
One Battle After Another ended the 2026 Oscars by winning Best Picture on a night where Michael B Jordan and Jessie Buckley earned top acting prizes.

Paul Thomas Anderson accepted the top prize of the night alongside Teyana Taylor and the rest of the cast and crew as the film earned the most wins of the night with six.
The American black comedy action-thriller film triumphed over a massive, competitive, field including: Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, Sinners, and Train Dreams.
Anderson, 55, – who wrote and directed the film – made sure to recognize his fellow nominees during the acceptance speech as he said: ‘In 1975 the Oscar nominees for Best Picture were Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Jaws, Nashville and there is no best among them.
‘It is just what the mood might be that day, but we’re happy to be part of this, a wonderful, wonderful journey with our fellow nominees, our fellow filmmakers that even weren’t recognized by The Academy.’
