After the statuettes were bestowed upon winners of the 2026 Actor Awards (formerly the SAG Awards), Netflix invited A-listers like Sinners’ Michael B. Jordan and The Pitt’s Noah Wyle to celebrate their Sunday night victories at a lounge-style after-party inspired by old movie-star glamour. Held in Hollywood’s Milk Studios, photographer Art Streiber was on hand to capture exclusive images of the evening’s festivities for Vanity Fair, featuring stars like Jenna Ortega and Laverne Cox.
Last year’s best actress SAG winner Demi Moore floated into the velvet-adorned space wearing a black gown from Schiaparelli’s 2026 couture collection. The sculptural strapless neckline and polka-dotted tulle train helped earn Moore a spot on VF’s best-dressed list. The White Lotus’s Leslie Bibb, whose red-carpet look from Ashi Studio also earned high marks, spent part of the evening laughing with fellow Ryan Murphy acolyte Sarah Paulson. During the ceremony, Paulson introduced the Actor Awards’ In Memoriam montage by paying homage to late friend Diane Keaton, who died last October at age 79.
After an emotional evening of tributes and speeches, the after-party served as a spot for newly minted Actor Award winners to kick their feet up—literally. Keri Russell went barefoot at the post-show party following her surprising best drama actress victory for the third season of Netflix’s The Diplomat over Emmy-winner Britt Lower of Severance and Golden Globe–winner Rhea Seehorn of Pluribus. Russell was joined by her Americans love-interest-turned-real-life husband, Matthew Rhys, as well as her onscreen husband on The Diplomat, British actor Rufus Sewell. Claire Danes, Rhys’s costar on Netflix’s nominated limited series The Beast in Me, danced the night away to pop hits from DJ Tendaji.
Elsewhere, Song Sung Blue best actress nominee Kate Hudson sipped an espresso martini while reuniting with her castmates on Running Point, the Netflix comedy about a fictional LA basketball team, which returns for a second season next month. Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos posed for a photo with Michael B. Jordan, whose performance in Sinners bested presumed frontrunner Timothée Chalamet for Marty Supreme.
Meanwhile, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’s Rose Byrne chatted with Nobody Wants This leading man, Adam Brody, near a spread of late-night eats: burgers and fries by Heavy Handed, pizza from Quarter Sheets, Max & Helen’s cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate, and PopUp Bagels for guests to grab on their way out. Perhaps the vibe of the Actor Awards after-party is best encapsulated by the image of White Lotus nominee Parker Posey, sporting a pink Gucci chiffon gown by Demma, tucking into a burger, wearing a dramatic feather-trimmed skirt.
