Invitations for Vanity Fair Oscar party sent out as mag celebrates 30th anniversary of Hollywood’s most famous bash
Invitations for Hollywood’s hottest party started hitting stars’ mailboxes this week, sources tell Page Six.
Vanity Fair will host its 30th anniversary Oscar party following the Academy Awards on Mar. 10 — and we hear that the look and feel of the bash will be extra special this year to mark the milestone.
The coveted invites, sources said, have a particularly inspired design this time.
(We hear it evokes the glamorous old-Hollywood look the party is known for, but with an exciting dash of pulpiness.)
The black-tie bash at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills will once again be presided over by VF editor Radhika Jones, and will be preceded by a VIP dinner-plus-viewing party.
The guest list of big screen talent, power players, pop stars, tech gurus and of-the-moment names is, of course, top secret.
But some of the nominees this year include VF party regulars such as Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr., Annette Bening, Jodie Foster and Martin Scorsese.
There are also newbie nominees this year, like Lily Gladstone and Sandra Hüller.
The party with the world’s starriest arrivals has come a long way since the first one in 1994 at Mortons, when 100 guests reportedly arrived for dinner when attendees included Donald Sutherland, Lee Radziwill, Nancy Reagan, Oliver Stone, Gore Vidal, Gene Hackman, Barry Diller, Diane von Furstenberg and Michael Stipe.
At the party afterward 30 years ago was De Niro, along with Anthony Hopkins, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Liam Neeson. Apparently, Prince was seen sitting quietly in a corner.
