Everyone in Hollywood knows the best Oscars fashion isn't limited to the official red carpet. The night truly gets going at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party—the only after-hours event where the guest list ranges from major nominees to Hollywood's reigning It girls.
With the formal Academy Awards out of the way, the Vanity Fair Oscar Party is usually stars' place to let loose. Historically, sheer naked dresses and teeny-tiny two-pieces are the unofficial dress code. But this year, the best-dressed guests decided to flip the script. Stars like Keke Palmer and Gabrielle Union traded all-out reveals for a strategic cut-out or a deep plunging neckline, made all the more dramatic by full-coverage fabric everywhere else. Teyana Taylor changed into a second Chanel dress after the Oscars ceremony—and exchanged her see-through bodice for a Marilyn Monroe-esque white silk. Even Hailey Bieber's Giorgio Armani Privé dress and Kendall Jenner's custom Chanel gown steered clear of peekaboo detailing, in favor of modest (but still exciting) beadwork and runway-approved color trends.
