Vanity Fair Oscar Party Relocates to LACMA
The esteemed Vanity Fair Oscar party is making a significant transition, relocating to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). This change marks a new chapter in the annual celebration of cinema, moving from the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills to a more culturally rich museum environment.
New Leadership and Location
This relocation comes under the guidance of Mark Guiducci, who recently took the helm as global editorial director of Vanity Fair, succeeding Radhika Jones after her eight years in the role. Guiducci’s background includes serving as creative editorial director at Vogue, where he contributed to the magazine’s expansive global identity.
Impact of the Move
The decision to shift the Oscar party to LACMA’s David Geffen Galleries is strategic, aligning with the grand opening of the new space in April. This transition not only enhances the event’s prestige but also reflects a broader trend of blending art and film.
- New Venue: Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
- Previous Venue: Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, Beverly Hills
- New Date: March 15, 2026
- Global Editorial Director: Mark Guiducci

A Cultural Partnership
This change is part of a new multi-year partnership between LACMA and Vanity Fair. Guiducci’s vision for the event intertwines Hollywood’s expansive identity with the cultural richness of Los Angeles. He noted that “Artists make films. Sports stars are producers.” This reflects a modern landscape where collaboration between different creative fields thrives.
Future Collaboration
Additionally, the partnership will extend to the museum’s Art+Film Gala, highlighting the synergy between the art and film communities. As both Vanity Fair and LACMA embark on this new journey, the Oscar party is set to embody the evolving spirit of Hollywood and its relationship with culture.
