Inside Vanity Fair and TikTok’s Vanities Party Celebrating Young Hollywood

In Los Angeles, the marathon of parties leading up to the city’s preeminent Oscars weekend has officially begun. Last night, at Mes Amis restaurant just blocks away from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Vanity Fair and TikTok joined forces to celebrate young Hollywood. Hosted by Halle Bailey, Julia Garner, and Paul Mezcal, the Vanities: A Night for Young Hollywood party was a celebration of the new guard of rising stars.

In attendance were Halle Bailey, Paul Mezcal, Julia Garner, Maggie Rogers, Victoria Pedretti, Beatrice Grannò, Benito Skinner, Chloe Cherry, Paris Brosnan, Isabelle Kusman, Sam Rechner, Jordan Firstman, Remi Bader, Christina “Tinx” Najjar, and more.

Paul Mezcal’s younger siblings Donnacha and Nell were also in attendance. The duo swayed to the music or shared a laugh with their brother as they sipped on drinks. Candy-colored cake pops emblazoned with TikTok and Vanity Fair logos were passed around as guests crowded the bars or unabashedly whirled around the dancefloor. “It’s an exciting evening to be a part of,” said actor Sam Rechner who is best known for his role as Logan Hall in the Steven Speilberg-directed drama The Fablemans.

While the event may have been a celebration of Hollywood’s new guard, red velvet curtains lining the walls and art deco palms punctuated the room with an air of Old Hollywood glamor. As the night drew to a close, crowds of people patiently awaited their future favorite stars for autographs on one of Hollywood’s most storied streets.
