Hollywood’s elite came out to play last night at Vanity Fair’s Oscar party. Just like last year, famed photographer Mark Seliger was on hand, working with Instagram in capturing intimate portraits of A-list celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga. This year, Vanity Fair even gave us a behind-the-scenes look at the portrait studio that Seliger and his team built. As you can see in the shots, a checkered floor, distressed walls, a staircase and some vintage props, like a sofa and chairs, all helped to create a beautifully timeless look. You can watch a mesmerizing timelapse of the studio being built from the ground up on Vanity Fair’s Instagram.
“As guests leave the red carpet and enter the main #vfoscarparty space, they’ll have the option to stop by the studio and stake a claim to immortality–or at least strike a few portfolio-style poses.”
