Tough-talking prosecutor Preet Bharara, taking a break from chasing crooked New York politicians and shady Wall Streeters, lived it up at the prestigious Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday night.
The “Enforcer of Wall Street” and his wife, Dalya, mingled with superstars and Hollywood royalty including Jane Fonda, Anjelica Huston and Steve Martin at the glamorous party hosted by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter.
Those joining Bharara — who spoke at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit last October and was featured in the magazine in January — at the high-powered dinner and viewing party included actors Natalie Portman and Patricia Clarkson, Don Rickles, Conan O’Brien, “Star Wars” director J.J. Abrams, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Steve Jobs’ widow Laurene Powell and legendary music producer Rick Rubin, designers Tom Ford and Francisco Costa, artist John Currin, plus Prince Pavlos of Greece and high society staples Betsy Bloomingdale and Denise Hale.
Also making the much-sought-after early guest list, before all the Oscar winners arrived with their trophies, were moguls and business titans including Apple’s Jonathan Ive, NBCUniversal’s Ron Meyer, CBS’ Les Moonves, Elon Musk, Barry Diller with Diane von Furstenberg, Irving Azoff and Leonard Lauder.
The Vanity Fair party this year moved to a new location and was held in a custom-built space that occupied a whole city block in Beverly Hills, surrounded by a fortress-like ring of security.
