It’s notoriously tricky to bag a ticket to the Oscars ceremony, so many A Listers watch it just like us on the TV. But they don’t just sit at home in their PJs – they put on sparkly couture and go to one (or two) of the many star studded bashes in Hollywood. Some now even see the Vanity Fair party as a bigger deal than the actual Oscars.

Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom, Grazia’s new girl crush Allison Williams, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied and Diane Kruger are just a few of the starlets partying away as we type at the Vanity Fair party. Oscar attendees traditionally also stop by the Vanity Fair party after the ceremony and of course an outfit change is usually in order. Amanda Seyfried slipped into a red gown, Anne Hathaway into blue and Jennifer Lawrence into silver.

Meanwhile Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus and Kelly Osbourne all attended Elton John’s AIDS Foundation Academy Awards screening in identikit white floor sweepers. But these girls don’t mind being dressed in similar party frocks as it’s the perfect all white photo op (and we all know Kim K loves some good ol’ colour co-ordination). Kourtney Kardashian tried out a new edgier red carpet style in a red floral structured gown. Speaking of Elton’s party, Heidi Klum wore one of the most risque dresses we’ve seen for quite some time, showing off lotsa cleavage in a gold sequin Julien Macdonald gown.
