Derry Girls star and flawless LGBT+ ally Nicola Coughlan had the time of her life at Elton John’s Oscars party, and fortunately for us she live-tweeted the whole thing.
Coughlan’s stunning ascent from rising Irish star to burgeoning Hollywood royalty was cemented on Sunday, February 9, when she bagged an invite to Elton John’s Oscars viewing party.
The actor attended as a guest of Queer Eye‘s Jonathan Van Ness, who she’s previously called her “soul sister”.
Stomping into the venue in a floaty floral print dress, Coughlan was truly each and every one of us.
If you look closely you can spot the exact moment I felt too Irish to commit to my sass walk pic.twitter.com/RGwcbkH8Xu

As Nicola Coughlan kindly pointed out, it’s actually quite offensive just how cute she looked posing with Van Ness.

You know how the best lighting for selfies is always in the nightclub toilets? Imagine that with wind machines, and you’ve got Elton John’s Oscar party.
There was a wind machine in the portaloo and honestly wow a highlight pic.twitter.com/G37LK547Zb

Everybody’s favourite ‘wee lesbian’ showed that she’s still a woman of the people while rubbing shoulders with Jane Fonda, Skylar Astin and Donatella Versace.
Things that happened last night:
When Jane Fonda came on to present best picture I shouted “Oh my god look at Rita Moreno!” And was told by Skylar Astin (Who was at my table honestly it is hilarious that I was allowed to be there) that it was in fact not her

Donatella Versace and Heidi Klimt were there, didn’t know how to process that

Understandably, Coughlan lost at it seeing Elton John perform just 20 feet away from her.
Elton John then came to the party and played and honestly it was one of the best moments of my life pic.twitter.com/uLbT5Xb995

I reacted about as calmly to seeing Elton John perform 20 feet from me as I did after meeting Michael Palin pic.twitter.com/XFFHnv9Mxw

‘It was hilarious I was even there,” she said, comparing herself to ‘your elderly auntie at a wedding – delighted to be invited and absolutely thrilled to get the free dinner’. A queen.
Honestly it was hilarious I was even there, I only was because my pal was hosting but I was honestly like your elderly auntie at a wedding- delighted to be invited and absolutely thrilled to get the free dinner

To cap off the trip, Nicola Coughlan achieved what most of us can only dream of: getting upgraded to business class, free champagne and all.
“It must be very annoying to hate me” I think sipping my free champagne from my complimentary business class upgrade flying back from Elton John’s Oscar Party https://t.co/HWZdUeAhHi pic.twitter.com/Yb7OfavyQj

Honestly, were she not such a pure and perfect ally, we’d absolutely hate her.
