So, Entertainment Today’s TV Producer: Steve Taylor had met and interviewed Mario Van Peebles, where Mario gave our viewers 31 years ago, (and again at last year’s Oscar viewing gala) his best advice: “Early to Bed, and Early to Rise, and it Pays to Advertise!”

On Sunday, March 15, 2026 Vanity Fair Global Editorial Director Mark Guiducci hosted Vanity Fair’s 2026 Annual Oscar Party: 4:00 p.m. dinner for approximately 100 guests to view the Academy Awards®, 7:00 p.m. the star-studded party, at LACMA, bringing together two powerhouses in art, media, and entertainment.
Guests began to arrive at LACMA at 7:00 p.m. A 100-foot-long silver wall under the building canopy was set up to screen the red carpet and press areas, framing a row of illuminated bronze figures on concrete plinths by Auguste Rodin from the museum’s permanent collection.
Passing through a portal built into the silver wall, guests walked through a passage of silver and illuminated bamboo walls, and past the Touch Up Bar by L’Oréal Paris, by emerging onto the “red” carpet area along a gray silver carpet toward the press lines. The 12-foot-tall, 100-foot-long walls featured 6-foot-tall silver VANITY FAIR lettering against a stainless steel backdrop creating a subtle “tone on tone” silver effect for press photographs of the guests on the carpet.
At 7:30 p.m., the Vanity Fair red carpet livestream, presented by Lilly and L’Oréal Paris, kicked-off with hosts Brittany Broski, Jake Shane, and Quenlin Blackwell, with an arrivals camera presented by REVOLVE Los Angeles, and an all new style segment hosted by Vanity Fair style correspondent José Criales-Unzueta, presented by Microsoft 365 with Copilot. The livestream took viewers behind-the-scenes with candid celebrity interviews, real-time fashion commentary, Oscar winner reactions, and more. The livestream was produced in partnership with OBB Pictures. Emerging from the carpet, guests continued past the Rodin bronzes toward the main party area, located in the outdoor “forum” area beneath the main museum galleries and facing the Japanese Pavillion. A vestibule composed from curved faceted mirrored walls created a “hall of mirrors” effect as guests passed into the large party room.
Mikey Madison at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills: 
A 20-foot-tall arrangement of 10,000 yellow orchids anchored the entry to the main party space, which featured a custom fabricated 40 x15-foot-wide central bar, presented by Tequila Don Julio, in stainless steel at the center of the room, over which hung 24 6-foot-tall Noguchi inspired parchment lanterns, bathing the room in a warm white coloration. The perimeter of the 7,000 square-foot room featured casual arrangements of white slip covered sofas and arm chairs, and custom made parchment wall sconces set against stainless steel and up lit bamboo walls. Additional steel floor and table lamps by visual comfort completed the soft lighting around the room.
The dining room reflected a simplistic and modern aesthetic, filled by twelve round tables—topped with silver table lamps to create low, soft lighting, and yellow orchid flower arrangements—and black lacquer and wicker chairs. Throughout dinner, guests viewed the Academy Awards® Ceremony on large flat-screen televisions. While exiting the dinner space to move into the party, Grammy Award-winning performer Jon Batiste delivered a surprise performance for guests. We had met Jon Batiste at The Grammy Awards MusiCares Dinner Show & Concert- right after his closing musical performance: 
Guests flowed between the dining space and a 3,000 square-foot open-air lounge surrounded by bamboo. White slip covered sofas and chairs created a casual theater-style seating before a 12-foot-wide LED main screen to view the Awards ceremony. The SCENIC DESIGN was by Basil Walter (BW Architects) & Creative Director Martin Brûlé.
Chef Evan Funke of Funke, Beverly Hills, and Funke Catering & Events served Lasagna alla Cantonese, Mediterranean sea bass, grilled prime ribeye with custom chocolate bark for dessert. Guests were served his famous pasta. Olive oil & sea salt and cannoli (candied orange & chocolate chip) and other flavored gelato creations were offered as departing treats. The wine served was by Modicum’s O’Shaughnessy, “Oakville” 2024, Sauvignon Blanc and the “Hestan,” 2017, Red Wine Blend.
Domino’s Pizza was served in custom slice boxes over the course of the party, and In-N-Out burgers were served over the course of the party. FLOWERS: Camellia branches, yellow Oncidium Orchids and white David Austin ‘Patience’ roses. For L’Oriel: White David Austin ‘Patience’ roses, white Sweet Peas, white double Lisianthus and white Ranunculus. Warm white lighting illuminated the event space to create an elegant and soft ambiance, which later in the evening transitioned to apricot and amber hues.
Upon exiting the party, guests were escorted by the concierge team to the Departure Lounge. Guests were offered Sozni Pashmina Shawls by Swadesh, a living Kashmiri tradition crafted from the finest cashmere wool sourced from Kashmir. An Uber concierge desk was also available. The DIRECTOR OF SITE OPERATIONS was Pete Barford, and the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR was Sara Marks.
