Last night’s Academy Awards red carpet was brimming with fashion and beauty inspiration. In fact, it may have been one of the most interesting ones we’ve seen from the awards ceremonies in years.
And the sartorial excellence didn’t stop with the last award. As the night continued—and the after-parties ensued—stars continued to give us their Sunday best (especially those who didn't attend the awards ceremony). At last night’s Vanity Fair Oscars soiree, our red carpet favorites swapped their gowns for sparkly pantsuits, gravity-defying mini dresses, and some head-turning graphic prints. Of course, some still chose the traditional gown route, but their picks were arguably way cooler than their ceremony looks.
Check out the best-dressed celebs of the night, below.
