Elton John's renowned Oscars viewing party has become an iconic celebration coinciding with the prominent awards show. This much-anticipated event serves a noble cause, with Elton John dedicated to raising significant funds for AIDS research.

The star-studded affair saw a host of celebrities, including the glamorous Elizabeth Hurley and her son Damian, come together to witness the film industry's biggest night.

Although Elton John retired from touring, the celebrated music icon hasn't stepped back from the spotlight, showcasing his musical talents on stage during the party. An array of his greatest hits reverberated through the venue, demonstrating that his charm and stage presence remain as captivating as ever.

Elizabeth Hurley made a stunning appearance in a golden sequined gown, accompanied by her 18-year-old son Damian, while supermodel Heidi Klum attended with her husband Tom Kaulitz. Klum stunned in a glamorous outfit that featured a dramatic black top with a sheer, sparkling skirt.

The Elton John AIDS Foundation's website outlines the mission of the viewing party: to support efforts in reaching communities marginalized by HIV/AIDS. The event serves as a cornerstone in fundraising and awareness for the foundation's ongoing initiatives.

This edition of the annual bash saw Elton John, alongside David Furnish, Tiffany Haddish, Neil Patrick Harris, and his husband David Burtka, playing host. Among the stars in attendance, the likes of Donatella Versace and Charlotte Tilbury mingled with actors such as Zooey Deschanel, adding to the glamour of the charitable night.

Reflecting on the significance of the annual party, Elton John and his husband spoke of their desire to see the end of AIDS and the inequality it perpetuates. They expressed gratitude to their friends and co-hosts who contribute to the foundation's mission to raise vital funds. The evening was not just a gathering of A-listers but an act of solidarity towards an AIDS-free future.

The Oscars themselves saw 'Oppenheimer' sweep several categories, contrasting with 'Barbie', which managed to clinch an award for Best Original Song by Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell. The event highlighted cinematic achievements just as it underscored the entertainment community's potential to drive change in global health issues.
