Meg Ryan, 64, braved the crowds and flashbulbs for a rare appearance at last night’s Oscars.
Joining forces with When Harry Met Sally co-star Billy Crystal, along with several other actors, she honored the late Rob Reiner onstage during the show’s memoriam segment.
For the show, the Sleepless in Seattle star looked svelte in a long-sleeved, off-the-shoulder black gown. But hours later, she injected a little color — and skin — into her look.
Making a costume change for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, the You’ve Got Mail actress walked the carpet in a satiny olive-green number that was business in the front and yowza in the back, thanks to its plunging draped-back feature. Slinky and sleeveless, the design also showed off Ryan’s ink.
Located on her left art, Ryan’s tattoo says, “Life is short,” which she told The Los Angeles Times in 2016 was sentiment she lives by: “You know what you know and you do what you do, and hopefully you’re just alive and curious,” she said.
For the post-show party, the French Kiss actress left her signature curls down and paired her green gown with black heels and Briony Raymond jewels, People reported.
“Oh, how we will miss this man,” Ryan shared on Instagram about Reiner, who directed her rom-com hit When Harry Met Sally, in December 2025. “Thank you, Rob and Michelle, for the way you believe in true love, in fairy tales, and in laughter. Thank you for your faith in the best in people, and for your profound love of our country.”
She added, “I have to believe that their story will not end with this impossible tragedy, that some good may come, some awareness raised… I don’t know, but my guess is that they would want that to be hopeful and humane, to be something that brings us all to a greater understanding of one another and to some peace.”
Reiner, 78, and his wife, Michele, 70, were found stabbed to death on Dec. 14, 2025, in their Brentwood, California home. Their son, Nick Reiner, 32, was arrested and has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder.
