Lights, cameras, action—during Oscar Week, Los Angeles is a frenzy of pre-Oscar planning and parties for the town’s biggest celebrities and trendsetters. And while there are never a shortage of soirees to attend, there are a few that always make the list.
Kari Feinstein’s Style Lounge, always a celeb favorite, continued to shine brightly by matching the biggest talent with the hottest brands. Held at the chic Andaz Hotel on Sunset Blvd over two days, the lounge welcomed guests with an array of brands, from stylish lingerie and footwear to Jamaican dream vacations and even Napa Valley wineries and Vegas must-haves.
