The Vanity FairOscars after-party is known for being the starriest bash in Hollywood. Because it takes place after one of the most straight-laced - and high-profile ceremonies on the award season calendar, it's a famously golden opportunity for the acting world's brightest talents to let their hair down - that goes for their wardrobe, too. We expect this year to be no exception.
The Oscars red carpet might demand big gown energy of the strictest order, but Vanity Fair's red carpet always produces the night's more directional (read: interesting) outfits. Hunter Schafer twirling in fringed Givenchy Haute Couture; Billy Porter wearing a tuxedo blazer-slash-gown that fit like a glove; Thandiwe Newton wearing sequinned, sheer Schiaparelli. Without further ado, these are our all-time favourites.
