Red Carpet Report • The 2012 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

After the 84th Annual Academy Awards, the stars hit multiple after parties. One of them was the annual Vanity Fair Oscar Party, held at the Sunset Tower in LA. Lets check out the gowns!


Maria Sharapova was among the stars. The tennis player opted for a micro mini Alexander McQueen dress with loads of frou frou from the Spring 2012 collection. The mini dress with frilled hemline and multiple shoulder straps just doesn't seem right on Maria's muscular body. Maria paired her dress with Alexander McQueen platforms, a sparkly Alexander McQueen clutch and fine jewels. To me, this just looks like Maria has wrapped herself in toilet paper. Olivia Wilde, on the other hand, did look stunning. The actress walked the red carpet in a black silk Gucci Pre-Fall 2012 gown with an embroidered velvet belt in the waist. The actress teamed her gown with a gold choker (mwha) and a beige clutch. Olivia wore her hair in a tight ballerina bun, she had kohl-rimmed eyes which made her bright blue eyes pop.

Kate Bosworth donned a tulle Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 dress. The long-sleeve dress with lacey cutwork was embellished with sparkly beads and crystals and adorned with a black leather belt. Kate teamed her dress with Christain Louboutin pointed-toe pumps and a Dior clutch. She wore her hair in a sleek bun. Emma Stone opted for a Chanel Fall 2012 Haute Couture gown with flared waist. The gown featured a structured bodice and partly sheer skirt. Emma wore her hair in the same parted updo as on the Oscar red carpet.

Zoe Saldana wore a  satin and sheer Mario Schwab Fall 2012 gown. The gown had Swarovski details and short sleeves. The actress toned her accessories down, since the dress had sparkly elements. Zoe carried a croco-clutch and wore a deep red lip shade. Felicity Jones wore a leather sleeveless gown by Johanna Johnson. The gown consisted of a fitted bodice and a pin tucked skirt. Felicity carried a black clutch and let her hair fall over her shoulders.

Elizabeth Olsen looked donned a somber black Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2012 gown. The gown featured a silk short-sleeve top and a leather and chiffon skirt. If you ask me, this dress is quite unflattering for Elizabeth's slim figure. A leather bag by The Row finished her look. Mia Wasikowska also attended the Vanity Fair party. The actress wore a floor-length Antonio Berardi Fall 2012 gown with asymmetrical floral panel and pleated peplum in the waist. Mia's hair was in a voluminous do, she didn't accessorize, just a simple chic look.

Selena accessorized with a sparkly grey clutch and dangling diamond earrings. Her hair was in a faux-bob. Paula Patton looked pretty in a Naeem Khan look. The dress featured a fully embellished sleeveless bodice and a black tassel skirt. Paula teamed her dress with Jimmy Choo suede pumps, a matching Marchesa clutch and Chopard jewels. Playful curls completed Paula's look.

Also Victoria Beckham and hubby David took the red carpet at the party yesterday. Victoria wore a light grey strapless Fall 2012 gown from her own collection. The designer teamed her dress with a wrapped belt. The dress fit Posh like a second skin. A simple updo and a nude lip shade finished Victoria's look.

Katie Holmes was a stunner in a sapphire-blue chiffon gown with embroidered bodice by Elie Saab, from the Fall 2011 Couture collection.

Ooh, one of my fashion faves, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked stunning on the red carpet!

Her hair was in a center-parted ponytail. JewelMint jewelry finished her look. Love! Diane Kruger also wore a red gown. She went for a simple Calvin Klein Collection gown with plunging neckline and exposed bra-accent. The German actress teamed her gown with a crystal clutch by Judith Leiber and a diamond bracelet. Her hair was in a tight ponytail.

Abbie wore her soft curls swept over her shoulder, complementary lippie and mani completed her look. Jennifer Lopez walked the red carpet in yet another Zuhair Murad gown, this time a sparkling Fall 2011 Couture gown. The gown with structured shoulders and plunging neckline was fully sequined in colours that ranged from deep plum to dark red. JLo wore her hair in the same topbun as earlier that night, she carried a Swarovski clutch and completed her look with H.Stern jewels. I think this look is better than her real Oscar gown!
