Paris Jackson and Cara Delevingne cozied up together at an intimate Oscars party hosted by Dynasty icon Joan Collins and famed literary agent Alan Nevins.

The supermodel and the music scion — who sparked dating rumors back in 2018 — got glammed up on Sunday night for the starry dinner at the Beverly Hills home of art collector Eugenio Lopez.

“Cara is one of Joan Collins’ god-daughters,” said Nevins, the president of Renaissance Literary & Talent. “She and Paris sat together and were friendly with everyone and they were quite stunning, I have to say.”

Guests included Michael Feinstein and Gordon Sondland, Donald Trump’s former Ambassador to the European Union.

Also on hand was Suzanne de Passe, who helped develop the Jackson 5 in their early career.

“They lived with her when they first came to LA,” Nevins said. “So Suzanne and Paris had a little chat together.”

He added, “They were pleasant – there’s was nothing outward to show that they were ‘together’ or anything but friends out together.”

The party was a tribute to Irving Paul “Swifty” Lazar, a powerhouse talent agent and dealmaker who represented both movie stars and authors and who hosted a regular starry Oscar bash up to his death in 1993.

They had planned to throw the bash at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, but the party ended up being too large for COVID-19 restrictions. Nevins said Lopez — the owner of the largest South American art collection in the world — stepped in and offered his home for the soirée.

Other guests chatting up a very glamourous Collins included chef Joey Santos — with whom Nevins hosts the podcast “Two Guys from Hollywood” — activist Irina Medavoy, Alice Bamford and Ann Eysenring, the owners of renowned organic Malibu farm One Gun Ranch.

Nevins added, “We followed all the current Covid restrictions and had the party outdoors and everyone who attended were fully vaccinated. It was beautifully planned by an event coordinator overseen by Joan and myself and it was great fun.

“And after dinner Michael Feinstein sat at the piano and played some tunes for a singalong.”
