Celebrities in Balenciaga for the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Pierpaolo Piccioli dressed five celebrities in Balenciaga for the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, delivering a mix of classic glamour and headline-grabbing moments.

Drama, Done The Demi Way

Demi Moore delivered what feels like Balenciaga’s signature silhouette in the black gown. The long gloves and feather stole brought the drama, while the Boucheron jewels added the necessary level of glamour. It is all very her, and that is precisely why it works.

Yes To The Dress

Grace Gummer wore a silver Balenciaga dress styled with Manolo Blahnik pumps, but I cannot help thinking this would have been far stronger with silver sandals. The look itself has a shimmering ease that feels right for the occasion, but the shoe choice interrupts the flow. Boucheron jewels completed her look.

Sheer Confidence

Hudson Williams opted to free the nipple in this Balenciaga look featuring a sheer top, and there is no denying the confidence here. I like how the drama is amplified by the train, which gives the look a sense of occasion.

Sequins With Precision

Naomi Watts wore a Balenciaga silver and black sequin cut-out dress with Boucheron jewels. You can always rely on her for a ultra glamorous moment without trying too hard.

Lace Done Right

Rachel Sennott’s Balenciaga dress continues what I hope becomes the standard for lined lace. The execution is spot on, with the lining meeting the hem perfectly, much like we saw on Sarah Snook at the Golden Globe Awards. Clean, considered, and exactly how this fabric should be handled.
