It’s been a few days since the Oscars wrapped up the 2026 awards season, but there’s one video that’s still on all our minds.

Attending Guy Oseary and Madonna’s annual after-party, Connor Storrie, Hudson Williams, and François Arnaud celebrated the evening into the early hours of the night. As part of the soirée, French photographer and street artist JR set up an elaborate photo-booth of sorts, with human-size wood boxes filled with styrofoam and tissue paper for the stars to pose in. Plus, there were paper cutouts of eyes that floated down like confetti.

Stepping into the surrealist set, the Heated Rivalry actors playfully leaned on one another as confetti rained down on them—giving the fans just what they wanted. JR even shared a behind-the-scenes clip from the shoot, in which the stars were captured grabbing onto one another with tongues out and hands reaching. (Swipe to the end of the carousel to see it.)

At the after-party, the actors behind everyone’s favorite on-screen couple coordinated in sheer black tops: Storrie in a Saint Laurent turtleneck from Anthony Vaccarello’s Fall 2026 menswear collection, and Williams in a sleeveless Balenciaga blouse. Both grounded their respective statement pieces with classic trousers, and layered on some glistening jewelry (Tiffany & Co. for Storrie, Bvlgari for Williams).

Next to his co-stars, Arnaud gave his own Saint Laurent look a sparkling update thanks to a David Yurman wolf brooch.

We’re ready for Season 2!
