Where the Stars Partied
Apple TV+, Amazon MGM Studios with Vanity Fair, W magazine and Billboard all hosted bashes during Golden Globes weekend.
“It’s heavy,” said Elizabeth Debicki, handing her Golden Globes trophy to partner Kristian Rasmussen. She took home best supporting actress in a drama for her portrayal of the late Princess Diana in Netflix's “The Crown.” He had just taken off his jacket and put it around her bare shoulders, her Dior gown sparkling underneath.
“The color is antique silver, which I love,” she told WWD on the red carpet.
The two were now in the packed lobby of the Beverly Hilton — which was quite the scene moments after the show wrapped, with a who's who of Hollywood faces all around.
Jennifer Lawrence slipped off her black pumps with relief, walking barefoot. Leonardo DiCaprio smoked a vape in a corner. Sam Claflin and Elizabeth Banks hugged in long, warm embrace. Hunter Schafer squatted against a wall, people watching. Just in front of her, Jason Segel flashed a thumbs up for a selfie.
“Where are you?” asked Naomi Watts while on her phone.
It was a herd of stars — in their finest gowns and tuxes — looking to make their way outside. Those who stayed inside, and there were few, headed to Billboard's official after party. Held around the hotel pool, it was mostly the night's winners who dropped in for photo ops and to make their rounds. There was the cast of “Beef,” which swept all three categories it was nominated in; it won best miniseries, with Steven Yeun and Ali Wong receiving best actor and actress. The same went for “The Bear,” with wins in best comedy, best actor for Jeremy Allen White and best actress for Ayo Edebiri. They, too, made an appearance. But it was Billie Eilish who turned heads, hard to miss with her fire-red punk hairdo and posse in tow. She was holding tightly to her globe, getting best original song for “Barbie” ballad “What Was I Made For?” It marks her and brother Finneas' second
Globes nomination and second win in the category.
“How you doin'?” she asked, gleaming, to none other than Flavor Flav.
“Yeah boy,” the rapper shouted, with his signature clock-design bling around his neck. They hugged and laughed.
It was the last party of the weekend. W magazine kicked things off Friday with its annual best performances bash in the penthouse of Chateau Marmont. Saturday was packed, with Vanity Fair and Amazon MGM Studios' Globes celebration at Bar Marmont. The inaugural Golden Eve party, hosted by Penske Media Corp. chairman and chief executive officer (and WWD owner) Jay Penske, was up the street in the hotel lobby. And just blocks away was Apple TV+'s fete, a toast to its films and shows at a cocktail reception inside the Sunset Tower Hotel. (A few, like Heidi Klum with daughter Leni, made their way to the The Art of Elysium Heaven Gala afterwards.)
