Last night in London, the Bridgerton star served pure golden goddess energy at the F1 Movie afterparty, wearing a jaw-dropping Fall/Winter 2025 Balmain gown. With strong sculptural detailing and a molten metallic finish, the look was more than just a dress — it was a statement. Architectural, commanding, and unapologetically glam.

The gold Balmain creation hugged every curve, catching the light with every step and exuding main character energy from every angle. Paired with minimal glam and that signature confidence, it was clear: Simone didn’t just attend — she arrived.

Whether it’s a couture gown or a sleek co-ord, Simone consistently delivers fashion moments that feel both bold and effortless. This time, she didn’t just show up — she stole the show.

]]> The 97th Academy Awards brought Hollywood’s biggest stars together for an unforgettable night of cinematic celebration and, of course, show-stopping fashion. From opulent, crystal-drenched designs to gothic lace and daring sheer numbers, here are the best-dressed stars of the night. But it didn’t stop there, once the awards wrapped up, the Vanity Fair after-party gave stars the opportunity to push the fashion envelope even further. Here’s a breakdown of the most dazzling looks from both the Oscars and the after-party, along with the electrifying performances that stole the night.

Halle Berry 

In Christian Siriano 

Academy Award winner Halle Berry delivered a lesson in Hollywood glamour, stepping onto the carpet in a Christian Siriano gown that looked like a mosaic of fractured mirror pieces. The silver strapless gown featured a stunning mosaic of fractured mirror pieces, intricately lined with silver sequins and sheer black panels that added a sultry edge. With a structured bodice and a flowing train of cascading sequins, the gown was nothing short of dazzling. Styled by Lindsay Flores, Berry kept the accessories classic with Pomellato diamond jewellery. 

Selena Gomez 

In Custom Ralph Lauren 

Selena Gomez arrived at the Oscars in a custom Ralph Lauren gown dripping in 16,000 hand-sewn glass droplets and Rosemont crystals. The off the shoulder silhouette was airbrushed to create a soft ombré pink effect, giving the dress a dreamlike quality. A true Marilyn Monroe moment modernised for today’s red carpet.

Mindy Kaling 

In Oscar de la Renta 

Mindy Kaling brought botanical elegance in a sheer Oscar de la Renta FW25 gown adorned with intricate metallic leaf embellishments. The halter style dress struck the perfect balance between ethereal and modern, with its delicate detailing catching the light at every turn. Styled by Erin Walsh, Kaling kept her accessories minimal, opting for dazzling diamond stud earrings by Effy that let the gown take centre stage.

Doja Cat 

In Custom Balmain & Swarovski 

Never one to shy away from a bold statement, Doja Cat arrived in a Balmain leopard-print gown inspired by a vintage 1953 Pierre Balmain design. The strapless gown, which took 5,600 hours of hand embroidery by 46 artisans, featured a deep sweetheart neckline and mermaid-style train, proving that couture craftsmanship is alive and well.

But her sartorial moments didn’t end there, later in the night, she took the stage in a dazzling custom Swarovski dress, dripping in over one million crystals as she belted out Diamonds Are Forever in a spectacular James Bond tribute. 

Raye 

In Vivienne Westwood & Versace 

Making her Oscars debut, Raye stunned in a fiery red, floor length Vivienne Westwood gown, perfectly complementing the rich tones of the carpet. The dress featured a dramatic cowl neckline, corseted bodice, and elegant draping, evoking an effortless Marilyn Monroe style glamour. A diamond ruby teardrop necklace and a bold red lip completed the look, proving that classic Hollywood beauty will always have a place on the red carpet.

Later, for her Skyfall performance, Raye switched into a custom Versace tuxedo-inspired gown, exuding sultry sophistication as she captivated the audience with her breathtaking performance.

Lisa 

In Custom Mark Gong 

 Lisa made her first Oscars debut in a custom Mark Gong tuxedo gown, reinterpreting menswear with a dramatic, feminine edge. The look featured sharp tailoring, a red flower pin, and sparkling rings softened the sharpness of the look, making it a seamless balance of power and elegance. 

When she hit the stage for Live and Let Die, she transformed into a vision of elegance in a black embellished gown with red detailing, proving her status as both a fashion and performance powerhouse.

Oscars 2025: The After-Party

The Vanity Fair after-party is where the stars let loose, swapping refined red-carpet gowns for bolder, more daring looks.

Kim Kardashian 

In Custom Balenciaga 

Kim Kardashian made a sticking statement at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar After Party in a custom Balenciaga ball gown that exuded both simplicity and modern sophistication. The structured white corseted dress, reminiscent of bridal couture, embraced a form fitting back that played with contrasting silhouettes. In a rare move, Kardashian skipped jewellery entirely, allowing the architectural beauty of the gown to take centre stage. With her sleek, slicked-back bun and barely-there makeup, she delivered a masterclass in refined yet daring evening glamour, proving that sometimes, less truly is more.

Zoë Kravitz 

In Custom Yves Saint Laurent 

If there was one look that stole the show at the Vanity Fair After Party, it was Zoë Kravitz in a daring custom YSL gown that redefined the meaning of understated seduction. From the front, the sleek, long-sleeved satin dress exuded classic elegance, draping effortlessly to the floor. But from behind, the look took a bold turn with mesh cutouts that exposed her back and bare butt cheeks, making it one of her riskiest fashion moments yet.

Kylie Jenner 

In Custom Miu Miu & Ashi Studio 

Kylie Jenner embraced duality at the 2025 Oscars, first dazzling in a custom Miu Miu gown adorned with crystals and daring cut-outs, before slipping into a corseted black lace Ashi Studio dress for the Vanity Fair after-party. The transition from structured, high-shine glamour to sheer, delicate lace showcased a perfect balance of bold sophistication and sultry allure proving once again that Jenner knows how to command attention on any event. Though she skipped posing for official red-carpet photos, her presence at the event was undeniable, as she attended in support of her boyfriend, Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet.

Keke Palmer 

In Vintage Versace 

Keke Palmer, one for the dramatics made a jaw dropping entrance in an archival Versace gown that balanced vintage and sheer daring. Styled by Molly Dickson, the ethereal ivory dress featured a flowing layered skirt and a backless bandeau top, while a sheer bodice revealed her striking rib cage tattoo. Adding a touch of glitz, the gown was accented with a shimmering netted high-neck overlay, giving the illusion of delicate, glittering armor. Embracing her own red-carpet moment, Palmer flaunted the gown’s high slit with a confident Angelina Jolie-style pose, showcasing metallic Jimmy Choo heels. Palmer proved that vintage glamour and modern sensuality can be the perfect pairing.

Kendall Jenner 

In Vintage Mugler 

Kendall Jenner once again proved her mastery of archival fashion, stepping out in a breathtaking vintage Mugler gown from the SS1992 collection. The sheer black lace dress, complete with patent details, long sleeves, and internal corset, was a sultry yet structured take on the ever-enduring naked dress trend. In true Jenner fashion, she embraced a monochromatic theme, pairing the dramatic piece with patent leather heels and dangling earrings. A nod to gothic glamour with a dose of Mugler’s signature avant-garde sensuality, the look was a lesson in how to make vintage feel undeniably modern.

The 2025 Oscars not only celebrated the best in film but also delivered some of the most unforgettable fashion moments of the year. But once the ceremony ended and the after-party doors opened, the stars took things up a notch pushing boundaries, embracing daring silhouettes, and proving that high fashion doesn’t stop when the cameras do. With archival masterpieces making a triumphant return and custom couture reigning supreme, this year’s Oscars red carpet was a masterclass in style. Which look was your favourite?

]]> In the gala that is beginning to rival the iconic Met Gala, this incredibly exclusive, and private, event sees A-Listers take to the red carpet in a celebration of fashion and film alike. Taking Wilshire Boulevard, L.A. by storm, the Academy Museum Gala celebrated Paul Mescal, Rita Moreno, and Quentin Tarantino for their service to film and creativity while celebs banded together in a sea of style that saw designers including Louis Vuitton, Mugler, and Alaia showcase their talent.

Selena Gomez

In a custom suede gown by Alaia, Selena flaunted her gorgeous curves in the figure-hugging silhouette, cinched at the waist. A black bodice peeks through the deep scooped neckline in a sexy addition to the look that complements the sapphire gown and black accessories.

Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo

The Wicked duo stood in solidarity in gowns emulating their respective characters, defying gravity, and expectations alike. Cynthia Erivo was giving Brat in her emerald Louis Vuitton gown adorned with jewels and beading that glistened in the spotlight. Ariana Grande, host of the evening, juxtaposed Cynthia’s modern gown in a custom Balmain dress based on an archival Balmain gown. This timeless monochromatic look oozed class and elegance with perfect polka dots and bows in traditional Glinda fashion.

Kim Kardashian

Unofficial leader of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kim stunned in vintage Mugler corset with drapes of ivory fabric cascading down her back and arms from her head. With diamonds adorning her neck, Kim has an effortlessly timeless, and almost Marylin, look that is the epitome of sophistication

Kendall & Kylie Jenner

The Jenner sisters showed their love in complementary looks that harmonised cut outs in a balanced composition of designs. The focal point on Kendall’s Schiaparelli gown drew the eyes to the top of the dress while Kylie’s vintage Mugler dress had a point of interest around her hips. These designs together expertly balanced the looks, allowing them to stand together as strongly as they stand alone, neither taking away from the other.

Davine Joy Randolph

Stunning Davine really was divine in gorgeous Louis Vuitton gown that emulated the contemporary and timeless in an expert marriage of past and present. The classic ballgown silhouette was tailored to the 21st century with the addition of scoping where the skirt meets the bodice, creating a soft movement instead of more traditional pleats. The think, structured bandeau design also roots the look in 2024, upgrading a classic off-the-shoulder look into a more visually complex cut. In the sea of daring celebs at the gala, we know Davine really was the belle of the ball in this look.

Laura Harrier

In gorgeous Ludovic De Saint Sernin design, Laura Harrier took on an almost dom look in black, studded dress. The cut outs along the skirt spiral downwards in an innovative look that other celebs at the gala didn’t risk, and for that reason we’re loving this design more and more. Worn without jewellery and natural glam to let the dress speak for itself, we’re seeing first-hand how the winter months really do inspire deep and bold looks.

Addison Rae

TikTok star turned actress and it-girl, Addison Rae, embraced her inner siren in stunning Alberta Ferretti gown that screams sexy. This cool-toned palette emulates gorgeous blue lagoons and casts the image of Addison being washed upon the shore in an effortlessly Aphrodite manner. The intricate lace and sheer detailing is almost lingerie-esque and the elegant blowout and simple makeup adds to the natural beauty and really shows us how exquisite natural beauty is.

Anna Sawai

Actress Anna Sawai also showcased Louis Vuitton in showstopping two piece. The ruched fabric in deep matte black took on a sheer quality due to the sewing technique, creating a complex characteristic to the shade as it reflects light and casts shadows. The one sleeve nods to a more traditional ballgown while the asymmetrical design creates a more modern intrigue, dragging Cinderella into

2024. The additional seam along the hip line creates a dropped waist look despite the midrise skirt placement, adding further detail to an oxymoronic, simple and complex look.

Winston Duke

Actor and producer Winston Duke really showed us how to upgrade a suit in a beautiful Etro design. The flowers add a pop of colour to the all-black look while the textured coat added further visual complexity without seeming garish or overbearing. Complemented with David Yurman jewellery, this look is classic, bold, and has a touch of the feminine; demonstrating that adding a few pattered elements can upgrade any tuxedo.

Jaden Smith

In another Louis Vuitton design, Jaden Smith has stayed true to his edgy, non- conforming roots in a crystal studded suit and statement shirt. The white undershirt has a high, ruched neckline in an almost old-fashioned, traditional look. The jacket sleeves, while hanging to the wrist, allow the arms to exit at the elbow in an innovative design that shows us what we can do with traditional look to upgrade them instead of sticking to the norm, embracing possibility. Paired with heeled boots and an array of rings, Jaden, like Winston, has embraced a touch of femininity in his look as he continues to challenge gender norms.
