Vanity Fair’s A-list Oscar party is exiting the 90210.

The magazine announced today that it’s moving its Oscar night dinner and afterparty to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art after being headquartered for years in a custom space adjacent to the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, Calif. There’s more to the news than a new location: the Vanity Fair Oscar party on March 15, 2026, will take place inside LACMA’s David Geffen Galleries. The space — a $750 million creation designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor that contains 110,000 square feet of exhibition space — isn’t expected to open to the public until April 2026, when it will be home to LACMA’s permanent collection.

The move to mid-city comes under the guidance and leadership of Mark Guiducci, Vanity Fair’s recently installed global editorial director. He replaced Radhika Jones in the mag’s top post and according to sources, he’s been eager to put his own stamp on Vanity Fair’s marquee event, and the location is expected to be the first in a series of Guiducci touches. He has experience with top-tier events, too, after having worked closely with Vogue and Condé Nast boss Anna Wintour on the Met Gala and Vogue World: Hollywood.

“Hollywood has never been more expansive than it is today,” Guiducci said in a statement. “The film industry intersects with so many disciplines and the silos between them are breaking down. Artists make movies. Sports stars are producers. Moguls fund art museums. And technology is embedded throughout. We’re thrilled to capture that energy with a cultural institution that undergirds the importance of Los Angeles and the industry at a time when Vanity Fair and LACMA are both entering exciting new chapters.”

As part of this new chapter, Vanity Fair has boarded the LACMA Art+Film Gala, the museum’s marquee fundraiser that brings together a uniquely Los Angeles crowd comprised of artists, filmmakers, moguls, billionaires, models, music insiders and fashionistas. It’s long been supported by Gucci.

There’s a connection between the old home and the new one. LACMA’s long-serving CEO Michael Govan also serves as the director of the Wallis Annenberg. In a statement, the respected leader also noted the other ties between Vanity Fair and the museum.

“Vanity Fair has long been part of LACMA’s story, from an exhibition of the magazine’s photo archives in 2008 to the magazine’s publication of a restaging of a historic artist photo in 2016,” said Govan. “We are excited to forge this new partnership with *Vanity Fair *and to create new stories together, especially as we embark on an exciting chapter for the museum with the opening of our new building, the David Geffen Galleries.”

Back in the day, when *Vanity Fair *was led by Graydon Carter, the mag steered its Oscar night event to become the hottest ticket in town in part because of the venue: the intimate and long shuttered Morton’s in West Hollywood. Once it closed, Carter and team headed north to Jeff Klein’s Sunset Boulevard staple Sunset Tower in 2008, where it was held until the move to Wallis Annenberg in 2014. In the decade-plus since then, the party has grown in size (and corporate sponsorships) while facing late-night competition from rival bashes thrown by Madonna and Guy Oseary and Beyoncé and Jay-Z though it remains the only roof on Oscar night that hovers above legends from sports, screen, music, media and more (and typically every acting category Oscar winner from the night’s telecast).
