An actress was seen visibly upset at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, reportedly due to the unflattering lighting that accentuated guests’ physical flaws.
The prestigious event, graced by celebrities like Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Jane Fonda, Demi Moore, Georgia May Jagger, Nicole Kidman, Mia Goth, and Heidi Klum, is renowned as a post-Academy Awards highlight. This year, the party shifted location to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) from the Wallis Annenberg Center in Beverly Hills.
As per the Hollywood Reporter, one actress was distraught by her appearance in photos, likening herself to a character from Diane Arbus’s unsettling photography. Witnesses mentioned the actress sobbing over her images and withdrawing from public view.
Guests described the lighting as excessively bright, exposing imperfections like excess weight and wrinkles that were previously concealed. Attendees felt the illumination was harsh, with some likening it to standing under klieg lights and experiencing sweltering temperatures. Additionally, the usual red carpet was replaced by a light gray backdrop, adding to the discomfort.
Despite the glitzy affair, many attendees opted not to share official event photos, raising concerns over the unflattering lighting. Mirror has contacted Vanity Fair for a response.
Kim Kardashian encountered a mishap at the party, stumbling and injuring her ankle while wearing towering eight-inch heels. In a dramatic fall captured on video, she clung to a bystander for support before being assisted by her team.
Following the incident, Kim managed to compose herself and continued posing on the red carpet. Despite the mishap, fans praised her appearance, particularly her striking blue contacts and glamorous attire.
Kim’s presence at the event alongside her family members, including Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner, garnered attention and social media buzz. Fans lauded her entrance, with some expressing concern over her discomfort in the elaborate outfit.
