Actress Holland Taylor has stepped out at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party for a rare red carpet moment with her partner, fellow actress Sarah Paulson.
Taylor, 83, and Paulson, 51, have been together since 2015, but they aren’t seen out together all that often. It was, therefore, a real treat to see them both looking glamorous and united for the 98th Academy Awards.
Neither of the couple had a vested interest in the ceremony on March 15 — they weren’t up for any awards and nor were either of them presenting one. They were purely in attendance to enjoy the evening.
The couple were certainly dressed for the occasion.
Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson Wore Contrasting Outfits
GettyHolland Taylor and Sarah Paulson turned up to the Vanity Fair Academy Awards party wearing entirely contrasting outfits.
Paulson wore a cream dress from the Matieres Fecales Fall/Winter 2026/27 ready-to-wear collection. It had a smart, suit-like top with a wide hem, brought in at the middle by a wide matching belt.
With her hair in a chin-length brown bob, she finished her look off with a dainty pair of cream heels, dark red lipstick, and one large ring on each hand.
Conversely, Taylor donned a glamorous oversized black coat with wide fur cuffs and black tights/leggings.
Taylor’s red hair was slicked back, and her outfit was completed with pale red lipstick, a dark red necklace, and a black handbag.
Suffice it to say, the iconic power couple complemented each other perfectly.
Taylor and Paulson Are Still Busy Working
GettyDespite their general preference for privacy regarding their personal lives, both Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson are still keeping busy professionally.
Per IMDb, in 2025, Taylor appeared in Matthew Shear’s comedy movie “Fantasy Life.” Going forward, she will appear in a main role in David West Read’s upcoming AppleTV comedy series, “Brothers.” The show doesn’t yet have a confirmed released date, but it will star Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as fictional versions of themselves.
As for Paulson, in 2025, she played a main role as Carrington Lane in the Hulu legal drama “All’s Fair,” on which she also served as an executive producer. In 2026, she will take on a key role in season 13 of “American Horror Story” and appear as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the Netflix biographical crime drama anthology series “Monster” (also per IMDb).
It’s great to see Holland Taylor and Sarah Paulson looking so good. It’s even better to know their 11-year relationship is still going strong.
We wish them well and hope they had the best time at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
