PHOTOS: The Gays Dazzled at the 10 Arts Oscar Viewing Party

The third annual Oscar Viewing Party took place at the Ritz-Carlton on March 2nd. Guests donned their finest gowns and suits (some even wore black tie) to enjoy a pre-party before the screening of the famed awards show. They enjoyed a complimentary happy hour featuring Peroni beer and Casamigos Tequila cocktails, as well as light bites and desserts from the 10 Arts bistro.

Winners were selected in the best dressed categories. Fashionistas Kristin Detterline and Jimmy Contreras awarded a best-dressed lady, best-dressed gentleman and best-dressed couple with lavish prizes including a dinner for two at 10 Arts, a spa certificate from Richel D’Ambra and an overnight stay at the Ritz. The best-dressed lady received a special prize pack of necklaces thanks to John Wind Maximal Art, Suitsupply and Rent the Runway.
