Inside Jessica Alba’s Fashion Spectrum: Oscar Party Elegance Meets Off-Duty Comfort

Jessica Alba knows how to master both ends of the fashion spectrum.

At the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, the Fantastic Four star dazzled in a dark blue tulle midi dress from Venezuelan-American fashion designer Carolina Herrera’s Pre-Fall 2022 collection, stitched with diamond embellishments that gave her look a regal, red-carpet polish.

Yet just a few years earlier, in 2016, she was spotted in Beverly Hills rocking a striped tee, jeans, and Kenneth Cole velcro sneakers on a casual park outing with her daughters—proof that whether in couture or off-duty comfort, Alba’s style instincts never miss.

The look struck a perfect balance between fairytale romance and modern edge. With its corseted bodice, hoop skirt, and diamond-stitched tulle, the Carolina Herrera gown paid homage to the classic drama of the ballgown.

At the same time, the dark hue and net-like sparkle added a moody, almost Gothic twist. It was a bold yet thoughtful risk—precisely the kind of statement that keeps Alba’s red-carpet style so compelling.

She paired the look with some stunning Jimmy Choo Rosie satin platform sandals and their Vivienne clutch. The actress also wore Norman Silverman earrings and a 10-carat oval platinum diamond ring.

Her softly tousled waves and radiant makeup struck the perfect balance—polished enough for the red carpet without ever feeling overdone.

Balancing Hollywood glamour with everyday life, Jessica Alba proves she’s just as stylish off the red carpet as she is on it.

While dazzling in Carolina Herrera at the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, she was equally effortless years earlier in 2016, when she was spotted in Beverly Hills enjoying a park day with her daughters, Honor and Haven.
