Oscars afterparties: Stars give daring and bold looks as they hit events following Academy Awards

With the 2025 Oscars ceremony well underway, stars are already starting to celebrate across town at Vanity Fair ‘s exclusive after-party inside the Beverly Hills Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.

Every year, without fail, the ultra-glitzy affair brings show-stopping fashion moments from actors, entertainers, music artists and influencers – and this year is no different.

While many A-listers played it safe, posing against the sunset-hued backdrop in glamorous couture garb, others turned up in questionable outfits. Olivia Wilde smiled for the cameras in a totally sheer gown with a plunging neckline that exposed her naked figure underneath.

Meanwhile, Catherine O’Hara posed for the paparazzi in an orange, yellow and purple woven long-sleeve dress with a pale pink satin clutch.

Lisa Eisner stepped out in the most eclectic ensemble — a teal-toned tunic with long fringe trim, a turquoise statement necklace, and matching shades.

As for the men, Franklin Leonard made a classic tuxedo appear casual, opting for an undone bowtie and an unbuttoned collar.

From Wilde to O’Hara, here are the best and most daring outfits on the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party red carpet:
