You'd be mistaken if you thought all of the fashion the Oscars had to offer ended once the final statuette was handed. Indeed, it's the after-parties that are often reserved for the most daring fashion choices. Further proving that these red carpets are truly not to be missed.

Featuring hot off the runway looks, like Ejae in a feather-trimmed jacquard gown from Dior's latest Autumn/Winter 2026 show, to archival fashion as seen on Paloma Elsesser, who chose vintage McQueen, and nostalgic full circle moments as Sarah Pidgeon paid homage to her character, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy from Love Story, in a modest yet striking Calvin Klein gown.
