The Oscars after-party was held on March 2, 2025, at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, California. Social media users weighed in on the most glamorous and most questionable celebrity looks from the prestigious event.

From Selena Gomez, who was praised for looking “glowing,” to Kim Kardashian, who showcased a “fresh face” but donned a “horrible dress,” here are the seven most talked-about best and worst outfits from the Vanity Fair after-party.

Best Dressed — Selena Gomez

The singer stunned with soft, voluminous curls framing her face, complemented by a smoky eye and nude lips. A diamond choker added a glamorous touch.

The 32-year-old former teen idol’s strapless black sequined gown featured a sculpted neckline, accentuating her silhouette.

The design transitioned into a sleek, shimmering finish, catching the light with every movement and enhancing the gown’s sophisticated allure.

Fans praised her look. “Such a beautiful doll. black looks absolutely good on [her] [sic],” commented one person. Admiring her radiant appearance, another said, “She looks Happy and is Glowing [sic].” One user added, “She looks very nice.” A final remark read, “Stuning [sic].”

Best Dressed — Sydney Sweeney

Sleek, center-parted locks cascaded down the “Euphoria” alum’s shoulders, pairing seamlessly with soft, bronzed makeup and glossy lips.

A shimmering embellishment at the neckline added a hint of sparkle on her outfit for the night. Sweeney’s pink gown featured a halter-style design with a crisscross detail, drawing attention to the structured bodice.

The silhouette hugged her frame before flaring out into a flowing skirt. A subtle train trailed behind, adding movement and an extra touch of refinement.

Online users raved about her appearance. “she is absolutely gorgeous 😍 [sic],” one wrote. Another praised the ensemble, “Love the dress. She looks great.” A different comment described her as “drop dead gorgeous.” While one person declared, “Best Dressed of the night [sic].Very pretty.”

Best Dressed — Demi Moore

The award-winning movie star’s loose, dark tresses flowed over her shoulders, enhancing the elegance of her look. She paired the style with soft, earth-toned makeup and a muted pink lip, while sparkling drop earrings framed her face.

Moore’s metallic gold gown featured a halter neckline with a twisted accent, leading into a bold keyhole cutout at the bodice.

The fitted silhouette sculpted the actress and film producer’s frame before shifting into a smooth, elongated design.

Online reactions highlighted her notable presence. “Demi Moore doing best choices [sic],” one user wrote. Another stated, “She looks beautiful and deserves an Oscar.” A different comment read, “the star of the night. shines like a diamond [sic].”

Another added, “Demi looked absolutely gorgeous, stunning and amazing for the Vanity Fair after-party.” While someone else echoed the same sentiments.

Best Dressed — Lizzo

Tight, cascading curls added volume to the rapper’s look, pairing seamlessly with her bold makeup featuring a deep nude lip and dramatic lashes. Small earrings provided a subtle yet chic addition.

The Grammy Award-winning Michigan native’s black gown featured a sculpted bodice with an off-the-shoulder neckline.

The sheer overlay of the dress added texture, enhancing the structured design. The lower portion widened gracefully, bringing movement and depth to the ensemble.

Social media had plenty to say about her appearance. “She looks great I love she lost weight the natural way [sic],” one user commented.

Another exclaimed, “Whooooa she lost a lot of weight! she looks amazing! [sic].” A different user kept it simple with, “BEST DRESSED [sic].” While one more added, “She looks amazing [sic].”

Worst Dressed — Miley Cyrus

The former child star’s structured updo with short and choppy bangs gave her an edgy appearance, paired with understated makeup and a satin lip. Large hoop earrings added a touch of contrast against the simplicity of her attire.

The singer-songwriter and actress’s strapless black gown featured a straight neckline, offering no distinct shape or defining details.

Cyrus’s fabric draped loosely over her figure, lacking refinement or tailoring. The lower half flowed without any embellishments.

Online reactions were less than favorable. “Not her best look [sic],” one user remarked. Another questioned, “What’s with her face [sic]?” A different comment read, “Looks hard, if you know what I’m saying. Very goth too [sic].” Someone else wrote, “Omg(( she looks so strange [sic].”

Another pointed out, “What happened with her eyebrows?! [sic]” Finally, one person asked, “Why would you chop your bangs that short? And lighten your eyebrows so much. Not a great look.”

Worst Dressed – Julia Fox

Long, jet-black hair with wispy bangs framed Kanye West’s former girlfriend’s face, while icy makeup and pale lips intensified her dramatic look. She skipped traditional accessories, letting her unconventional gown take center stage.

The sheer, nude-toned dress featured an exposed bodice with strategically placed strands of hair woven into the fabric. The material clung to her figure, emphasizing the barely-there design.

Below the eye-brow-raising attire, the transparent layers continued, making the ensemble appear more like an artistic statement than a red-carpet choice.

Reactions online were swift. “Oh my god. Absolutely hideous!” one person exclaimed. Another called the look “repulsive,” while a different comment questioned, “Older Bianca, is that you?,” referring to her ex’s current wife, Bianca Censori.

One other individual remarked, “She should be ashamed of herself and completely mortified.” Another user added, “Another Bianca if she had talent wouldn’t need to do that,” and someone else observed, “She trying to be Kanye next wife/girlfriend again. Bit weird she is doing what Bianca does [sic].”

Worst Dressed – Kim Kardashian

The reality star’s sleek strands were pulled back into a tight, polished updo, keeping the focus on her glowing skin and minimalistic makeup. Softly defined brows and a neutral lip color emphasized her features, while a touch of shimmer on the lids added a hint of radiance.

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” alum opted for an all-white strapless gown with a cinched bodice, creating a structured, corset-like effect.

The exaggerated volume of the skirt introduced a dramatic element with its crinkled texture. The stark simplicity of the ensemble, paired with the grand proportions, made for a perplexing contrast.

Online reactions poured in. “Toilet paper dress,” one person quipped. Another bluntly stated, “Horrible dress!!” Comparisons ran rampant, with someone questioning, “All I want to know is why did she take her bed comforter with her to the party.”

Others remained unimpressed, as one remarked, “Fresh face, but the dress is like hospital bed linen.” A final comment sealed the verdict: “That’s a box of tissues.”

The 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party delivered an array of bold fashion choices, with some stars capturing the essence of Hollywood glamor and others sparking controversy with their daring risks.

While Gomez, Moore and Lizzo earned widespread praise for their impeccable style, Cyrus, Fox, and Kim Kardashian found themselves at the center of debate, with social media quick to weigh in on their looks.

Fashion remains subjective, and red carpet moments often push boundaries — sometimes with great success and other times met with skepticism. Whether celebrated or criticized, these stars commanded attention, proving once again that award season is as much about the style statements as it is about the accolades.
