It was an extremely star-studded affair at the the exclusive 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday night.

And it was the nepo babies who ruled the red carpet at the event held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

The invite-only soiree is the most exclusive and official Academy Award afterparty, with only the A-list securing themselves an invite.

So the offspring of the rich and famous had all eyes on them as they posed up a storm.

Several of these nepo babies have carved out a successful career in their own right and landed an invite to the party without their parents.

So how many do you recognise? And can you guess who their famous parents are?

Kaia Gerber

Model Kaia looked stunning in a leggy red velvet dress with a strapless design as she turned heads at the event.

The star, 24, sizzled in a glamorous number with a thigh-high slit and accessorised with silver earrings.

Kaia – who is the daughter of legendary supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber – was later seen posing with pal Cory Michael Smith.

She has followed in her mother’s footsteps since debuting at Fashion Week in 2017 and won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards the following year.

Kaia, 23, has also pursued a career in acting, starring in 2016 film Sister Cities and numerous other films and series since. 

She previously came under fire for claiming her famous family is not the reason for her early success, insisting that if nepotism ‘actually was what people make it out to be we’d see even more of it’.

Iris Law

She turned heads in the pretty V-neck design and wore her short blonde tresses in their usual cropped style.

Iris, 25, is the daughter of Hollywood star Jude Law and British actress Sadie Frost. 

She started her career in modelling as a teenager and has worked with campaigns for Miu Miu, Calvin Klein, and Versace.

She recently dipped her toe in the acting pool, being cast as Soo Catwoman in the 2022 miniseries Pistol, for which she shaved her head.

The model, 24,  previously said her parents, who divorced in 2003 following six years of marriage, had given her normality in her childhood despite their A-list status. 

Amelia Gray Hamlin

Hairstylist Amanda Lee coiffed Hamlin’s sleek middle-parted ponytail for the 98th Academy Awards after-party.

Make-up artist Sam Visser applied exclusively YSL cosmetics on the Lions Management Model’s face, giving her a smoky eye and glossy pout.

Amelia is the daughter of actors Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin. 

Her mother is known for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and her father is known for L.A. Law and Clash of the Titans. 

Lila Moss

Kate Moss' model daughter stormed the red carpet at the event too The beauty, 23, looked incredible in a deeply plunging red dress which showed off her incredible figure She has followed in Kate's footsteps by entering the world of modelling

Kate Moss’ model daughter stormed the red carpet at the event too.

The beauty, 23, looked incredible in a deeply plunging red dress which showed off her incredible figure.

She has followed in Kate’s footsteps by entering the world of modelling and between them, the pair have walked for most of fashion’s biggest names, including Fendi, Miu Miu and Yves Saint Laurent.

Lila, whose father is magazine editor Jefferson Hack, proved her model credentials at the bash.

The young model insists her decision to enter the modelling industry hasn’t always been influenced by her mother.

‘I don’t know that my mum expected me to go into fashion, really,’ she told British Vogue in 2023.

‘I’m quite shy, like her – but she’s fully supported every decision I’ve made. She hasn’t helped me with my walk, though.

‘She’s like, ‘You just have to feel it. I don’t know what I do. I just do it!’ I’m like, ‘Cool – off to practise some more, then…”

Ryder Robinson  

Kate Hudson's son Ryder posed with his mum at the star-studded bash held in LA on Sunday night

Kate Hudson’s son posed with his mum at the star-studded bash held in LA on Sunday night.

The actor, 22, looked smart in a black suit as he joined Kate who wowed in a cut out black dress. 

Kate shares Ryder with her ex-husband and The Black Crowes musician Chris Robinson.

Kate was 23 years old when she welcomed Ryder with then-husband Chris, to whom she was married from 2000 to 2007.

Last year Kate opened up about raising a second generation of nepo babies.

During an appearance on Vernon Kay’s BBC Radio 2 show on Thursday, Kate was played a 2008 clip in which she spoke about her mother recognising her passion for performing before she even knew it herself.

Reacting to the clip, Kate said: ‘I think she [Goldie] honestly knew that there was no choice before I knew what I was even going to do.

‘And I can see it in my son [Ryder]. Now, you know when your kid has that. He doesn’t know it yet, but I do, and I think my parents kind of have the same thing.’
