Oscars 2024: Stars at the After Parties

One of the biggest nights in film took over the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Calif., on Sunday night (March 10) as today’s biggest stars gathered for the 2024 Academy Awards.

With big wins for Billie Eilish, Finneas, Cillian Murphy, Emma Stone and more, the Kenergy in the room was heavily felt — and not just because of Ryan Gosling’s show-stopping “I’m Just Ken” performance.

Of course, what better way to celebrate the wins with a proper after party? As usual, Vanity Fair held their iconic Oscars Party at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, featuring appearances from stars like Margot Robbie, Sydney Sweeney, Camila Cabello, Haim, BLACKPINK’s Rosé, Donald Glover, Cardi B, Vanessa Hudgens — who revealed at the awards show red carpet that she’s pregnant — and many more.

Additionally, Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan made their public debut as a couple at the event. Though the “Feather” singer and Saltburn star didn’t pose side-by-side on the red carpet, they did walk it at the same time, occasionally sneaking looks at each other. Keoghan and the Girl Meets World alum first sparked dating rumors at the beginning of this year.

Similarly, Elton John held his annual AIDS Foundation’s Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party, which Orville Peck, Danny DeVito, Katharine McPhee, David Foster, Andrew Watt and more.

2024 Oscars: Best Photos From the Show

The 96th annual Academy Awards lit up Hollywood from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 10, with comedian and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel helming the ceremony for the fourth time.

The star-studded celebration featured many notable moments, from the joyous to the fun to the downright hilarious. Some of those bright spots during the telecast included John Cena showing up in nothing more than his birthday suit to present — what else? — the best costume design category, which went to Poor Things. There was also Oppenheimer star Emily Blunt and Barbie hunk Ryan Gosling presenting together and taking jabs at each other’s films for summer’s Barbenheimer phenomenon, as well as Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo presenting for the awards for best original song and score. Plus, show-stealing performances from Billie Eilish and Finneas with Oscar-winning original Barbie song “What Was I Made For?” and Gosling’s Kenergetic delivery of “I’m Just Ken” (with surprise appearances from Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, as well as Wolfgang Van Halen!) had the audience on its feet.

There were also some sweet moments in the audience, including latest Dancing With the Stars champ Xochitl Gomez posing with Barbie star America Ferrera and Becky G, who performed “The Fire Inside” written by Diane Warren for Flamin’ Hot. Kimmel’s sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez also advocated for margaritas for all, and toasted those around him.

The night’s big winners were Oppenheimer, which took home seven awards, including best picture, best director for Christopher Nolan, best actor for Cillian Murphy, best supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr. and best score for Ludwig Goransson. Poor Things‘ Emma Stone won for best actress in a surprise victory over front-runner Lily Gladstone from Flowers of the Killer Moon, while Da’Vine Joy Randolph won supporting actress for The Holdovers. Eilish and Finneas won their second best original song Oscar with “What Was I Made For?.”

The 2024 Oscars aired live on ABC.

The 2024 Oscars are hosted for the fourth time by comedian and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who teased ahead of the ceremony that jokes about the high-profile romance of Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce may not be likely, but are certainly “not off limits.” The show is scheduled to begin an hour earlier than usual at 7 p.m. ET, and airs live on ABC.

Maluma Is the Ultimately ‘Daddy’ in ‘Playgirl’ Photo Shoot

Maluma is turning up the heat for his new Playgirl digital cover shoot.

The cover story, cheekily noting that Maluma “wants to be your daddy,” plays into the innuendo given that the Colombian superstar is about to be a father. The singer and his longtime girlfriend Susana Gómez announced that they are expecting their first child together in October 2023.

“She was like, ‘No way! I love it. You’re going to show the world that you’re stronger than ever,” Maluma told the publication of Gómez’s reaction to him doing the shoot, according to People. “That you’re the best version right now. You’re showing the world that you’re killing it.’ Because she knows that’s my career.”

On the cover, Maluma rocks a black striped pajama set with the top completely unbuttoned, as he lounges back with his arms behind his head. “I’ve been [acting sexy] for almost 10 years, since I started my career,” Maluma noted, adding that people can still “admire someone and think that a person is sexy or that they’re hot,” even if they’re in a relationship.

It’s an exciting year in general for Maluma, who teamed up with Octavio Cuadras and Marca Registrada last month for “Bling Bling,” the first track off DON JUAN Season 2, a new season of releases by Maluma, according to a press release.

The singer’s digital cover issue officially launches on Thursday (March 7) at Playgirl.com. See some of the photos on Maluma’s Instagram page here.

Ariana Grande’s Style Evolution, From 2009 to Now

Only one name comes to mind when you see an outfit comprised of an oversize sweatshirt, a high ponytail and thigh-high heeled boots: Ariana Grande.

Over the past decade, Grande has defined pop culture — not just through her eight Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles and her five Billboard 200-topping albums, including 2018’s Sweetener, 2019’s thank u, next and 2020’s Positions, but also through her ever-evolving style and glam. When she burst onto the scene with hits like “The Way” (with Mac Miller) and “Baby I” back in 2013, the powerhouse vocalist channeled the doo-wop flourishes of her Yours Truly LP through an affinity for ’50s-style dresses, a wavy half-up-half-down ponytail, and sky-high pumps — a far cry from the fiery red tresses she rocked while she was still on Nickelodeon.

By the following year — which brought forth her blockbuster My Everything album — Grande swapped all that for cat ears, an even higher ponytail, skimpy onstage leotards and, of course, her trademark oversize sweatshirt/thigh-high boot combo. 2016’s Dangerous Woman era brought yet another shift in style for the two-time Grammy winner. To complement her edgier, raunchier lyrics, she traded the cat ears for Playboy-esque latex bunny ears, a bustier-slacks combo, and a black choker. For her next record — the Grammy-winning Sweetener LP — Grande shocked fans and went platinum blonde. Her wardrobe didn’t change that drastically during this era, but for the following year’s thank u, next, she opted for darker color palettes across the board. As for Positions, the “34+35” singer shifted to honey brown hair and drew on ’60s glamour, with floral tones and big hair taking center stage.

As Grande gears up for the next phase of her career with her Eternal Sunshine album and the forthcoming Wicked films, check out how her style has evolved over the years.
