The 21 Best Looks From Oscars After Parties You Absolutely Must See
Fashion from the Oscars gives us a highlight reel of the best performers’ red carpet looks. You think we would be satisfied after being blessed with incredible looks from Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Zoë Kravitz and Kristen Stewart (to name a few) but we want more. The Academy Awards red carpet only gives a fraction of Hollywood’s A-listers a chance to win best dressed but we thankfully have the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party looks to open up the playing field.
The Oscars red carpet hosted the usual roundup of celebrities, plus a few lucky TikTokers, and each one dressed to the heightened elegance of the evening. The Vanity Fair Oscars After Party however had the fabulous and famous from every corner of the internet joining together for a night of celebration (let’s be honest, it’s a friendly fashion competition). While Zoë Kravitz was a clear personal favorite for “best dressed” on the Oscars red carpet, I’m having a hard time picking a favorite look from the after party because there are so many fun ones to choose from.
Where to start? There was Kim “nobody wants to work these days” Kardashian who supposedly enlisted her sister Kendall Jenner as business partner for her latest Balenciaga red carpet moment. The sisters were dressed in head-to-toe Balenciaga looks—Kim Kardashian is the latest ambassador for the brand—and wore thick space age sunglasses to block out the haters (I assume).
Other #twinning moments were a little less-intentional. The Vanity Fair red carpet was the latest migration route for a flock of celebrities decked out in feathers. Feather trim was an easy red carpet prediction since they were all over the season 22 fashion week runways but I don’t think anyone could have predicted just how many celebrities would jump on the trend. Dakota Johnson won “best feathers” and truly stood out from the rest in her pink feathered Gucci gown.
At this point, I need to start my own awards show to give awards for award show outfits (whew!). Before I decide on all the categories, I’ll let you determine your own “best dressed” for the night. Keep scrolling to see all the best looks from the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party.
