The Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Party is an annual party held every year in Los Angeles since 1993, and it’s the place to be for celebs looking to let their hair down after the ceremony. Tickets are by invitation only and cost thousands of dollars, with profits going to the AIDS Foundation.

Britney looked stunning in her party outfit, her new auburn-tinted dark hair complemented by a plunging, shimmering dark ball gown.
