Stunning Gowns From The 92nd Oscars And Vanity Fair After-Party
The 92nd Academy Awards brought out all the big stars on February 9, 2020. As always, the red carpet and after-party looks did not disappoint. While some of the ladies opted for a classic Hollywood glam look, there were many women who took the bold and daring route with their dresses. Freida Pinto's dramatic gown commanded attention while Kristin Wiig's look was beyond comparison. Here are the most memorable looks from the 92nd Oscars and after-party.
Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron opted for an elegant black gown for the evening. The actress wore an off-the-shoulder gown designed by Dior Haute Couture. The flattering cut featured a long leg slit and a dramatic train. She paired the gown with jewelry from Tiffany & Co. including a diamond pendant necklace.
Theron became the first South African to win an Oscar in the acting category when she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Aileen Wuornos in 2003's Monster.
Saoirse Ronan
Irish-American actress Saoirse Ronan was named one of the best looks of the evening by Harpers Bazaar. She donned a custom gown designed by Gucci for the big night. The unique design featured a black and ivory-toned top with a deep V-neck and ruffled skirt.
The ruffles then descended into a long, light lavender skirt that was red-carpet worthy. Ronan accessorized with beautiful diamond dangling earrings and quite a ring.
Scarlett Johansson
Actress Scarlett Johansson rocked the Oscars red carpet in a custom Oscar de la Renta gown. The ivory-toned dress was well-fitted, flattering her figure.
The top featured layers of beads added some sparkle and shine. One of the more classic looks of the night, Johansson's floor-length gown featured a beautiful train. She's been nominated for two Academy Awards during her acting career but has yet to take home an Oscar.
Brie Larson
Actress Brie Larson has taken a very un-Hollywood approach in her personal life and has chosen to keep all matters under wraps! Larson says she prefers to keep her private life out of the tabloids as not to typecast her for any one role.
Larson attended the Oscars wearing a gorgeous pink gown. Designed by Celine by Hedi Slimane, the dress featured more than 13,000 Swarowski crystals, 6,500 pink strass jewels, 120,000 sequins, and 110,000 glass beads, according to Harper's Bazaar. The dress reportedly took over 1,200 hours to make.
Kristen Wiig
Actress Kristen Wiig had one of the most unique looks of the night, wearing a red ruffled dress with a bold fit. The dress was as bright as Wiig's personality, turning heads with the unique shape which brings a generous amount of volume to what could have been a more simplified pencil dress.
She paired the gown with long black gloves and gold heels. In 2011 she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Writing - Original Screenplay for Bridesmaids, but she's yet to take home an Oscar.
Margot Robbie
Margot Robbie was dressed to kill on the Oscars red carpet. Robbie has been nominated for two Academy Awards but has not been declared a winner-- yet. She is, however, one of the highest-paid actresses with plenty of accolades to her name.
Robbie opted for a black vintage Chanel gown for this year's Oscars. The off-the-shoulder gown from the spring/summer collection of 1994 featured uniquely tied sleeves and a stunning vintage gold and blue pendant.
Renee Zellweger

Michelle Rodriguez
Michelle Rodriguez wore a stunning black gown to the Oscars that showed off the actress' fit figure. The off-the-shoulder dress also featured a strap design. Long sleeves added some Hollywood glamour along with the length.

Salma Hayek
Actress Salma Hayek stunned is this dazzling blue gown at the Oscars party. Although she hasn't taken home an Oscar, Hayek was nominated for Best Foreign Film as a producer of 1999's El Coronel No Tiene Quien Le Escriba.
