Every year, it seems like every star in Hollywood arrives at the Oscars, and then the afterparties happen. When we see the afterparties like the Elton John Viewing Party and the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, that’s when we realize everyone in Hollywood is going to those instead. Literally every year, hundreds of stars come in showstopping looks that steal headlines. But it got us wondering: which stars frequently make it to the afterparties, but haven’t actually gone to the Oscars?
There are quite a few basics, and rules to snag an Oscars ticket, and they cost hundreds of dollars each, but what about the afterparties? They have much less strict guidelines to follow, which is why we see many celebs you didn’t quite expect, like TikTokers, the Kardashians, and more.
In the past couple of years, quite a few surprising celebs have walked the actual Oscar ceremony red carpet like Nicky Hilton, Kourtney Kardashian, Jacob Elordi, and more. So it makes it even more shocking when you realize A-listers who have been in the industry for decades haven’t been to the ceremony (that we know of)!
So, ahead of the 2024 Oscars, let’s see which a-listers have gone to the afterparties, but haven’t gone to the Oscars ceremony (yet)!
Kendall Jenner
While Kendall Jenner has gone to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party every year since 2018, she hasn’t appeared at the Oscars like her big half-sister Kourtney Kardashian.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner hasn’t gone to the Oscars, but she has gone to the afterparties twice: in 2020 and again in 2023.
Kim Kardashian
And another member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan who’s never been to the actual Oscars is Kim Kardashian, despite going to the afterparties in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2020, and 2023.
Hailey Bieber
Another A-lister we frequently see stunning at the afterparties is Hailey Bieber, who arrived at afterparties in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2023
Paris Jackson
Paris Jackson always makes a stunning appearance at the afterparties, but has yet to go to the Oscars.
Gabrielle Union
While Gabrielle Union has gone to the afterparties since 2004, she hasn’t gone to the Oscars; which quite frankly blows our minds.
Jean Smart
Jean Smart has gone to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, specifically back in 2022, but that was the only time she’s gone. As of March 2024, she hasn’t been back and hasn’t gone to the Oscars.
Kyra Sedgwick
Despite being in the business for decades, Kyra Sedgwick has only gone to the afterparties twice: in 2022 and 2023. So will there be an Oscar appearance in the future?!
Lili Reinhart
Lili Reinhart has gone to the Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2020 and 2022, but has yet to go to the Oscars. (But our fingers are crossed for another ultra-stylish appearance for the 2024 Oscars!)
Ciara
Did you know Ciara has been going to the afterparties since 2017? And yes, she always rocks something spectacular!
Julia Fox
Julia Fox made her Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet debut in 2020 with a very simple black dress, but showed off her zany fashion side when she appeared again in 2022. Two years later, we’re obsessed and are hoping she’s go on the Oscars red carpet sometime!
Rosario Dawson
Did you know that Rosario Dawson has been going to the afterparties since 2002?
Kate Beckinsale
Like many fellow A-listers, Kate Beckinsale has gone to the afterparties for over 20 years on and off, but hasn’t gone to the Oscars just yet.
Lourdes Leon
Lourdes Leon went to the afterparty with her mother Madonna back in 2011, and then appeared solo one more time in 2022.
Camila Mendes
Camila Mendes has gone to the Vanity Fair afterparty every year since 2018 (except for one time in 2021), and we’re still waiting for her Oscars debut!
Alessandra Ambrosio
Ever since 2012, Alessandra Ambrosio has never missed an opportunity to wow and amaze with her looks at the afterparties.
Sydney Sweeney
Sydney Sweeney has gone to the Vanity Fair Oscar afterparties three times now: 2019, 2020, and 2022; but we’re sure she’ll be making her Oscar debut soon!
Fran Drescher
Did you know that Fran Drescher has gone to the afterparties since the late 1990s? And always rocks a sparkling, eye-catching look?
Ashlee Simpson
Ashlee Simpson has gone to the afterparties with her husband Evan Ross since 2016.
Jessica Simpson
But her sister Jessica Simpson has only gone twice: in 2005 and 2010, and hasn’t been back to the afterparties since, or gone to the Oscars.
Megan Fox
Megan Fox made her Oscar afterparty debut in 2023, but she didn’t even walk the red carpet! It’s kinda mind-boggling to be honest.
Riley Keough
Did you know that Riley Keough hasn’t gone to the Oscars yet? And that she’s only gone to the afterparties two times?
Jodie Turner-Smith
Jodie Turner-Smith has only been to the afterparties once, in 2023, but no Oscars appearance yet. Truly, that makes no sense to us.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift went to the afterparties in 2011 to 2016. It’s been years, and we’re dying for both another afterparty appearance, and her Oscars debut.
Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera has gone to the afterparties quite a few times from 2005 to 2023.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
We’ve seen Sarah Michelle Gellar make a rare appearance at the afterparties, specifically in the years of 1999, 2007, and 2023; but we’re dying to see her go to the Oscars one day.
Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid turned heads when she appeared at the afterparties in 2015 and 2023!
Jennifer Coolidge
Jennifer Coolidge has gone to the afterparties twice: 2008 and 2023, but we are itching to see her at the Oscars.
