Rivals co-stars Connor Story and Hudson Williams reunited in style at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
The two not only coordinated their looks, but also managed to match perfectly sheer outfits.
Storey showed off her abs in a Saint Laurent see-through mesh turtleneck and pants, with the star holding a faux fur muff in one hand, while her Candy counterpart paired it with a sleeveless Balenciaga mock-neck top.
Conner, who plays Ilya Rozanov on the HBO show, is a brand ambassador for Saint Laurent and not only attended the design house’s runway show in January, but also wore the brand’s outfits at this year’s Golden Globes.
However, the overall look isn’t entirely new. Saint Laurent’s fellow muse Zoe Kravitz wore the exact same pairing (complete with a muff) at the brand’s Paris Fashion Week show earlier this month, but her shirt was lined at the torso for a more concealed approach.
As for the story, his jewelry was made by Tiffany and included a $285,000 chain necklace, two pairs of Elsa Peretti Bean earrings, and five yellow gold rings set with rock crystal, citrine, and, of course, diamonds.
Meanwhile, Williams (Shane Hollander) was looking to Balenciaga for an attention-grabbing outfit to match his role as the brand’s new face.
Over it, he wore a high-necked silk chiffon top with a tie that cascaded down his back and along the floor behind him. He kept the bottoms simple with tailored pants.
Williams’ relatively modest jewelry was by Bvlgari, and the actor wore diamond earrings and a coordinating diamond bracelet.
However, the moment of twinning was not planned in advance. “Me and @jamesyardley didn’t plan this lol,” Williams’ stylist Anastasia Walker wrote on her Instagram Story, referring to the stylist and happy accident in the story.
In addition to posing with his on-screen beau, Williams also carried girlfriend Kaitlyn Rose on his arm at the event — she wore a sheer black lace cutout dress by Bronx and Vanco.
Although Story didn’t attend the actual Oscar ceremony, Williams did attend wearing a more concealed black Balenciaga suit and Bvlgari jewelry.
Season 2 of “Heated Rivalry” is ready.
