After the glitz and glamour of the Academy Awards, the Vanity Fair Oscars 2025 afterparty is where Hollywood truly lets loose—and this year, the stars took bold dressing to another level.
While the Oscars red carpet is known for its timeless gowns and sophisticated fashion, the afterparty set the stage for fearless couture statements. And if one trend dominated the night, it was the sheer, barely there dress. From sheer attire to daring cutouts, Hollywood’s elite truly stole the spotlight in naked ensembles. Check them out:
Julia Fox
Julia Fox turned heads in a naked dress from Dilara Findikoglu's Spring/Summer 2023 collection, making a bold statement on the red carpet. She covered the bold look with ultra-long hair extensions, artfully wrapped around the dress.
Zoë Kravitz
Zoë Kravitz stunned in a timeless black gown featuring a sleek, minimal design in the front—only to reveal a daring peekaboo detail in the back. She elevated the look with sparkling diamond jewellery and a side-parted low bun.
Olivia Wilde
Olivia Wilde grabbed eyeballs in a sheer, cream-coloured Chloé runway gown, beautifully adorned with delicate floral embellishments and intricate lace detailing along the collar and sleeves. The 40-year-old paired the ensemble with matching cream-hued underwear and accessorised with a dainty silver pendant and a chic gold clutch.
Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion left jaws on the floor with one of the most fearless looks of the night. She donned a striking feathered green gown with matching green nipple pasties. She completed her jaw-dropping appearance with dazzling jewels and her signature updo hairstyle.
Bianca Balti
Bianca Balti turned heads in a Fendi couture SS23 featuring a glamorous sheer top with floral long-length sleeves, paired with a matching skirt. She accentuated her sheer appearance with delicate accessories and subtle makeup.
The Oscars may be the main event, but the afterparty is where the real sartorial risks are taken. As Hollywood’s biggest names stepped out in their most daring ensembles, one thing was clear: the naked dress trend is here to stay, and it’s only getting bolder.
