We love the Oscars, the glamour, the drama, and the excitement of an awards ceremony, but we secretly only watch to see those incredible red-carpet moments.
Speaking of red-carpet moments, celebrities truly shine at the afterparties. The award ceremony has come and gone, and party time is here!! And when it comes to Oscar afterparties, the Vanity Fair party is the one to watch.

The Vanity Fair Oscar Party, held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, drew a star-studded crowd of winners, nominees, presenters, and A-listers skipping the main event. One of the night’s standout looks came from Ciara, who turned heads in a daring Di Petsa Spring 2022 gown while arriving with her husband, NFL star Russell Wilson.
Other stars who impressed on the red carpet included Kim Kardashian in a sleek sky-blue Balenciaga gown with matching gloves and pointed-toe boots, Sophie Turner in a scarlet red Louis Vuitton dress complemented by gold sandals and glittering jewelry, and Kourtney Kardashian in a vintage-inspired black lace Dolce & Gabbana dress paired with Tom Ford heels.
Styled by Kollin Carter, Ciara’s “wet-look” dress was one of the evening’s most striking and original fashion moments.
Ciara’s Show-Stopping Di Petsa Gown Turns Heads on the Red Carpet
Ciara looked fabulous in the ‘wet’ shimmering, merlot-hued dress with chic cut-outs in all the right places. With its water-drenched, skin-clinging effect, this body-hugging showstopper looked like it had been painted onto her body.
The elegant draping of the dress and the long train were reminiscent of a Greek Goddess, a statuesque look that only she could pull off.

This dramatic, sculptural gown was paired with minimalist gold platform sandals that subtly peeked out beneath the hem, adding extra height and perfectly complementing Ciara’s statuesque 5ft 7½ (171.5 cm) frame.
With such a showstopping dress, she wisely kept accessories minimal—just a sparkling bracelet and diamond studs to let the look speak for itself.

Hairstylist César DeLeön Ramîrez kept to the ‘wet’ theme, and we loved how her hair was slicked back, leaving soft waves cascading down. She finished off her look with a smoky eye and nude lip.
Before that unforgettable Vanity Fair appearance, Ciara had already made waves on another iconic red carpet.

While everyone else ran to the high-end fashion houses, Ciara took to a surprising brand for her outfit to the prestigious gala: fast-fashion clothing retailer H&M.
“I have been a huge fan of H&M for a long time,” she said in a statement, “and I am delighted to have been invited and also had the opportunity to create a unique gown with the team. It has truly been a special experience all the way around.”
Unfortunately, you can’t just head to your closest location and grab her dress off the rack. The singer and H&M teamed up to create the gorgeous metallic breast-baring dress, which glittered at the Met Gala.
