Was Emma Stone Snubbed From Vanity Fair Oscar Party? The Actress Allegedly Dissed 'Weird' Guest List Rules
Emma Stone was reportedly snubbed from the invite list to Hollywood’s most famous Oscars after-party, the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Despite the two-time Oscar winner securing a 2026 nomination in the Best Actress category for her role in Bugonia, Stone was allegedly not included on the guest list, according to the Associated Press.
Per the outlet’s recap of unseen moments at the Oscars, several stars discussed not being invited to the Vanity Fair party. “It’s so weird, even if you’re nominated it doesn’t mean you can go,” said Stone, who attended the Oscars alongside her husband Dave McCary after previously winning in the Best Actress category in 2024 for Poor Things and in 2017 for La La Land. Instead, Stone reportedly planned to stop by the Universal Pictures party before heading to A24’s post-Oscars event.
Before the Oscars, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Vanity Fair global editorial director Mark Guiducci, who took on the role in mid-2025, was making over the annual bash and majorly trimming down the guest list. Though it was reported that Vanity Fair planned to prioritize movie stars and nominees over outside media, reps, and sponsors to build an environment that would allow stars to “really let their hair down,” perhaps Stone got caught in the crossfire.
Stone’s fellow nominees Kate Hudson, Renate Reinsve, and Rose Byrne did attend the Vanity Fair bash, as did winner Jessie Buckley. The event also hosted non-film stars, including influencers Alix Earle and Olandria Carthen and singers Dua Lipa and Tate McRae.
