The Oscars red carpet was dripping with dazzling ensembles, ranging from demure to high fashion to classic formal attire. 

Yet stars including Kate Hudson, Ciara, Jeff Goldblum’s wife Emilie Livingston, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Heidi Klum, Kylie Jenner, Renate Reinsve and Suki Waterhouse went from red carpet to racy to attend the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. 

At the bash, held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the stars ensured they made an impression, with Kate swapping her dazzling mint green gown for a skin-tight black number featuring an abs-flashing cutout.

Perhaps the most shocking of the evening was Canadian dancer Emilie, who arrived with husband Jeff and was daring to bare as she took to the event in only a skimpy bodysuit, tights and pointed-toe heels.

Amelia looked incredible in a backless dress, showing off the entirety of her sideboob and adding a raunchy touch to proceedings. 

Kylie went for her trademark busty style, with her Vanity Fair ensemble giving a look at her eye-popping cleavage as she hit the red carpet with boyfriend Timothee Chalamet - having shunned the red carpet at the main event. 

Heidi joined the stripping off brigade as she went from a gold beaded number inspired by old school Hollywood before getting saucy at Vanity Fair. 

Rita Ora, 35, left little to the imagination in a mesh bodice, silk wraparound skirt and garishly oversized hat - with the bodice designed to feature a near-naked look.

Norwegian actress Renate showcased the most extreme transformation, going from a subtle yet stunning red strapless gown to a nearly sheer black dress that just about protected her modesty. 

Ciara was keen to flash her figure with her braless look, turning heads and risking a wardrobe malfunction thanks to the plunging, backless style. 

Lizzo made sure her 60lbs weight loss was on show for all to see as she sported a dramatic lace number with a plunging neckline. 

Anya Taylor-Joy was making a shocking statement with her look as she stripped down to just a body suit and fascinator with tights. 

She spoke in 2023 about how she views red carpet fashion as a form of performance art, saying: 'I grew up such a tomboy...

'I never paid attention to clothes until I realised that it was a form of performance art for me - specifically, on the red carpet. I love drama. I love theatricality. I love leaning into a theme. I have a wonderful stylist, Ryan Hastings...

'We approach it not as, “We’re going to be wearing some clothes to this.” We create. With my hair and makeup team, Georgie Eisdell and Gregory Russell, it’s very much a group enterprise...

'That’s where we have the most fun: everyone pitches in and we get to try new things. We take it very seriously by not taking it very seriously.

American ballet dancer and writer Misty Copeland made sure her athletic physique was on full display in a sizzling backless gown. 

Myha'la Herrold left very little to the imagination in a sheer dress that offered a glimpse of her body art, under some strategic embroidery.

One Battle After Another ended the 2026 awards season by winning Best Picture on a night where Michael B Jordan and Jessie Buckley earned top acting prizes.

Jordan, 39, shocked the world at the 98th Academy Awards as he upset Timothee to win Best Actor for Sinners, as Buckley, 36, took home Best Actress for her work in Hamnet at the event held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Paul Thomas Anderson accepted the top prize of the night alongside Teyana Taylor and the rest of the cast and crew as the film earned the most wins of the night with six. 

The American black comedy action-thriller film triumphed over a massive, competitive field including: Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, Sinners and Train Dreams.

The Leonardo DiCaprio-led film One Battle After Another is centered around a group of ex-revolutionaries who reunite to rescue the daughter of one of their own as their enemy resurfaces after 16 years. 

The most talked-about moment of the night will surely be that Jordan earned the top honour, Best Actor, for his leading role in the Ryan Coogler film Sinners.
