The Oscars were held in Los Angeles on Sunday, marking the 94th edition of the show. Naturally, the red carpet was jam-packed with A-list nominees and presenters, such as Nicole Kidman, Zoë Kravitz, and Zendaya. But the annual Vanity Fair after-party always attracts an incredibly impressive guest list that rivals the main red carpet. 

At the after-party, guests typically wear more daring, risqué looks than they would at the prestigious Academy Awards, which makes it particularly fun as a fashion fan. The event even gave us one of Bennifer's most viral photos back in 2003, so we have high hopes for this year. Scroll down to see the best red carpet outfits from all of the Oscars after-parties.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
