The Biggest Celeb Sightings at Sundance This Year Jack Dempsey

We're officially at the tail end of January, which means that members of Hollywood's top brass are corralling in Utah for the annual Sundance Film Festival. 2025 marks the fest's final year in Park City, UT, before it officially moves to Salt Lake City full-time, and it's safe to say that the original host city is getting an active farewell. This year, the premieres of independent film projects like Opus, Twinless, Bunnylovr, and Kiss of the Spider Woman are gaining attention on the ground—plus the events celebrating all of the festival's highly-anticipated screenings are generating just as much buzz. And if you weren't already in the know, a lot of those cast parties, panels, and photo ops are going down in the Chase Sapphire Reserve Lounge.

Located right in the heart of Main Street (where most of the Sundance action is based), the lounge has become a staple at Sundance over the past 15 years that Chase has been the festival's presenting sponsor. This year was no different, and Cosmo had (snow) boots on the ground to survey the scene.

What we witnessed were some of Hollywood's biggest names pulling up, bundled in their parkas and ready to let loose. From stars like Jennifer Lopez and Joel Edgerton holding court during panel discussions, to big names like Dave Franco and Dylan O'Brien popping by to party, the photos from Sundance 2025's truly iconic events are below. Check them out (and feel free to collect film titles to add to your '25 watchlist).
