The Oscars are not just about the awards ceremony; they are also about the extravagant parties that follow. Hollywood's biggest names gather to celebrate in style at various exclusive events.
One of the most anticipated pre-Oscars events is the GBK Brand Bar's luxury lounge held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Guests are treated to high-end gifts, including designer items like Balenciaga backpacks and Bottega Veneta handbags. Presenters reportedly receive over $85,000 worth of goodies, while other guests can expect gifts totaling close to $45,000.
For those not attending the Oscars ceremony itself at the Dolby Theater, there are lavish viewing parties to attend. The Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party and the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, now in its 30th year, are among the most prominent. The Vanity Fair Oscar Party, known for its star-studded guest list, also offers a red carpet livestream for fans to enjoy.
After the awards show, winners head to the Governor's Ball, located near the Oscars' main venue, to have their trophies engraved. Madonna and Beyoncé are two iconic figures known for hosting their own post-Oscars parties. Madonna's event, co-hosted by Guy Oseary and sponsored by Gucci and Salesforce, promises a night of glamour at a private residence. Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Gold Party, a favorite among celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Natalie Portman, is shrouded in mystery this year.
These parties are not just gatherings; they are reflections of the hosts' personalities and styles. From themed decor to exclusive guest lists, each event offers a unique experience for attendees. As the 2024 Academy Awards approach, the excitement builds for what promises to be a night of glitz, glamour, and unforgettable celebrations.
