The 2014 Vanity Fair Oscars Party Red Carpet


The parties after the party are always better in the case of the Oscars. Year after year, the party to draw the most beautiful of the beautiful people is the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, and often the annual post-Oscars bash is a chance for the nominated and not-even-invited-to-the-actual-ceremony stars to let their hair down, snuggle in a professionally democratic environment, and wear far more interesting sartorial choices then the typically safe looks reserved for the Academy-officiated red carpet.

Perfect alert: My second favourite couple ever (after Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman) Diane Kruger and Pacey. He dares and wins in a merlot flavoured dinner jacket, and she is flawless personified in sheer lace Valentino Couture.

Without flaw:

Girls star Allison Williams beams in pink Emilia Wickstead gown. No flesh for you, Marnie creeps: She’s recently engaged.

Gabrielle Union is one of the most genetically superior specimens to have ever walked the earth. She continues her reign in this plunging Georgio Armani dress.

Andy Samberg and wife Joanna Newsom only need each other to look terrific.

… on the other hand, Sienna Miller clothed in Alexander McQueen appears to have assumed the posture of a wax statue to the touch of her man Tom Sturridge. Or maybe she’s just trying to disassociate herself from his unnecessary felt hat.

My girl crush Amanda Peet is usually mad for the terrible red carpet styling, so kudos to this relaxed and chic monochrome Band of Outsiders ensemble.

Bono’s daughter is an honest to goodness babe. She wears Dsquared2.

Your Favourite Person wears blurry floral Peter Som accessoried with vibe.

When I was a kid I used to dream about a beautiful evil woman who wanted to kill my whole family. Crystal Renn brings my nightmares to life in wine-coloured Zac Posen.

The Hamms.

Greta Gerwig is a peach but this sleek Narciso Rodriguez number is not quite right for her.

Texas forever.

All I know about this stunning creature is that she’s had sex  – because she is PREGNANT – but with whom??

… of course.

The unfairly beautiful Simon Baker and wife Rebecca Rigg were there emanating joy. Adopt us all.

Zooey Deschanel looks like the girl-next-door who seemed perfectly normal but you ultimately regret taking her to your prom when she gets schoolyard drunk. She wears Oscar de la Renta

… and crazy eyes.

Liberty Ross looks luminous in a questionable red dress with large pockets and bandage-inspired bodice.

Evan Rachel Wood effortlessly channels old Hollywood glamour in stunning ’20s-inspired Elie Saab Couture.

Thank goodness Olivia Munn finally drew attention to her breasts. God knows my husband was yet to appreciate them before she saddled them in a jewel-covered boob-enhancement harness :/

Reese Witherspoon looks fun and tasteful in a naval-diving Hugo Boss frock.

KHALEESI

Emma Roberts looks young and modern and lovely in red Fendi and rad Brian Atwood heels.

Tee hee!

Tiny chic vampires Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin arrive once the sun goes down. She wears stunning black Alexander McQueen.

Twinnies.
Context-related question: Is Ethan Hawke starting a handshake way too early, doing a half-arsed robot or dropping an arm over his invisible date in this scenario?
Aubrey Plaza improves her Emilio Pucci dress with terrific Lorraine Schwartz jewels and a gold Stark clutch.
That’s better. J-Law in a fun cracked mirror courtesy of Tom Ford.
Bringing sexy back.
TSJL [that’s so Jared Leto]
Aw. Anne Hathaway bros down with the most beautiful man in the room. She changed into Viktor & Rolf.
Forget Kruger and Pacey. Talented besties David O Russell and Spike Jonze were the most adorable couple in the room.
