Jeff Bezos attended a pre-Oscars dinner at the Beverly Hills Hotel with his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, creating a buzz among A-list guests including Kim Kardashian, Mick Jagger, and Al Pacino. Earlier that week, Bezos attracted media attention for influencing The Washington Post's opinion section toward favoring personal liberties. The festive atmosphere was underscored by extravagant dining experiences, while celebrities enjoyed a temporary escape from reality. Lupita Nyong'o aptly described this annual Hollywood tradition as a 'fantasy, magical world,' showcasing the allure of the entertainment industry during awards season.
Ms. Kardashian used a metal fork to pry open a handbag that was roughly the size of an AirPods case. She removed a Ricola lozenge, popped it in her mouth and returned to her conversation with Mr. Bezos. The room's perimeter was reserved for entertainment royalty.
In the days leading up to the Oscars, stars wound through an annual succession of events hosted by fashion labels and agencies eager to capitalize on Hollywood's biggest weekend.
It's a fantasy, magical world, the actress Lupita Nyong'o said. It's nice to escape into that sometimes.
Earlier that week Mr. Bezos, who owns The Washington Post, had made news for pushing the paper's opinion section to embrace personal liberties and free markets.
