The Oscars may be the biggest night in Hollywood, but the Vanity Fair afterparty is where the stars let loose and take fashion risks. This year, the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty did not disappoint, delivering an array of show-stopping looks. From vintage couture to bold contemporary designs, here are my favorite ensembles from the night.
Kendall Jenner in Vintage Mugler
There was plenty of vintage at the 2025 Academy Awards and the afterparties. One of the standout looks came from Kendall Jenner, who stunned in a black lace gown from Mugler’s Spring/Summer 1992 collection. The intricate lace detailing and form-fitting silhouette highlighted her statuesque frame, making this a timeless and sultry choice.
Lisa in Miss Sohee Couture
Lisa opted for a unique look by Miss Sohee from the designer’s first couture collection – a corseted leather dress with a peplum hem and lace details. The structured design combined with delicate lace created a striking balance between edgy and elegant, showcasing Lisa’s bold fashion sense.
Sydney Sweeney in Custom Miu Miu
Styled by Molly Dickson, Sydney Sweeney looked radiant in a crystal-embellished keyhole dress, accessorized with complementing pink satin platforms. Her light peachy-pink eyeshadow mirrored the hue of her halter gown, creating a cohesive and ethereal look.
Julia Fox in Dilara Findikoglu
On the Vanity Fair Oscars party red carpet, Fox turned heads in a sheer slip dress designed by Dilara Findikoglu. The dress featured strategically placed locks of hair wound around her waist as she posed for cameras. She teamed the look with nude pumps and a brunette wig featuring sweeping bangs.
Zoe Saldaña in Saint Laurent
Zoe Saldaña embraced effortless elegance in a thin-knit top with a low scoop neckline paired with a satin high-low skirt. The front of the skirt ended at the top of her thighs, while the ruffled train cascaded dramatically. A belt cinched the look together, adding a touch of sophistication to her Saint Laurent ensemble.
Hunter Schafer in 16Arlington
Hunter Schafer always brings a high-fashion edge to the Vanity Fair Oscars party, and this year was no different. She wowed in a very low-cut silk gown in a champagne hue by 16Arlington, complemented by a luxurious faux-fur shawl. The soft textures and daring cut made for an unforgettable ensemble.
Selena Gomez in Armani Privé
Selena Gomez had a night full of stunning fashion choices, starting the evening in a blush custom Ralph Lauren gown and later changing into a striking strapless Armani Privé design for the afterparty. The sleek silhouette and impeccable craftsmanship made this a standout look.
Jenna Ortega in Donna Karan New York
Jenna Ortega mesmerized in a tannish-green Donna Karan gown, proving once again that she’s a red carpet favorite. The off-the-shoulder straps, sheer draping, and soft ruffle details gave the dress a dreamy, almost mythical vibe. She paired the look with elegant Pomellato jewelry, keeping the overall aesthetic understated yet effortlessly chic.
Emily Ratajkowski in Ludovic de Saint Sernin
Emily Ratajkowski turned heads in a daring sheer lace gown with a leather bust by Ludovic de Saint Sernin. The sultry combination of lace and leather created a bold, yet sophisticated look that embodied her signature style.
Halle Bailey in Samuel Gaertner
Halle Bailey embraced monochromatic dressing in a striking red lace dress with spaghetti straps. The sequined embellishments added a touch of glamour, while her Christian Louboutin open-toe sandals completed the sophisticated yet sultry ensemble.
