On 26 February 2017, Ana de Armas made a memorable appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills, stepping onto one of Hollywood’s most exclusive red carpets at a pivotal moment in her career.
The annual after-party, held following the 89th Academy Awards, is widely regarded as the industry’s most glamorous post-ceremony celebration.
In 2017, the event was particularly historic, coming on the heels of the now-infamous Best Picture mix-up involving La La Land and Moonlight. As the industry gathered to toast the night’s winners and nominees, Ana was among the rising international talents drawing attention.
At the time, the Cuban-Spanish actress was on the verge of a major breakthrough. Later that year, she would star in Blade Runner 2049 alongside Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, a role that significantly expanded her global profile and cemented her place in Hollywood’s next generation of leading women.
For the Vanity Fair celebration, Ana opted for a sleek black gown that embodied understated sophistication. The silhouette was elegant and streamlined, allowing her natural beauty to take center stage. She styled her hair in soft waves and chose radiant, minimal makeup, creating a polished yet effortless red carpet look. The ensemble struck a balance between classic refinement and modern simplicity — a style signature she would continue to perfect in subsequent years.
Though not yet an Oscar nominee in 2017, her presence at the party signaled growing industry recognition. In the years that followed, Ana would earn widespread acclaim for her performance in Knives Out before receiving an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde — a testament to her steady rise within the film world.
