Listen, I love the Oscars as much as the next person, but the real fashion risks were taken at the Vanity Fair after-party. That’s where the hemlines got higher, the silhouettes got tighter, and the outfits got flashier. While the ceremony is still steeped in tradition, dictating clasically elegant looks, the party circuit has become an all-out battle to see who will push the envelope the furthest on the red carpet. Amelia Gray, for instance, clearly got the memo that the VF party is the perfect place to go all-out on wardrobe and glam.
The Vanity Fair Oscars Party Served Up The Best Red Carpet Looks
And yes, many of them changed out of their stunning Oscars red carpet outfits into new ( even more extravagant) looks for the afterparty. Winners like Michael B. Jordan and Maggie Kang showed out with their Oscar trophies and beaming smiles as the cherries on top of their looks. Scarves and capes notably graced the necks of red carpet pros like Bella Hadid and Olandria Carthen, amongst other It girls. And we especially loved seeing coordinating looks from iconic duos, like partners, siblings, and even castmates (hello, Heated Rivalry boys!).
