Whatever Happened To Fun Party Dresses?<\/h1>\n
\n

On the Oscars afterparty circuit, stars were too concerned with playing it safe. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It was silver all over at the Vanity Fair Oscars party red carpet<\/a> this year, and stars from Hollywood and beyond shuffled into the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in honor of Mark Guiducci\u2019s first time helming the epic soir\u00e9e. It was a meh<\/em> night of fashion, with so many bias-cut silk dresses, perfectly acceptable updos, and beautifully dazzling jewels that were, yes, objectively gorgeous \u2014 but all missing that oomph<\/em> any good afterparty look should have. Where was the fun on the after-dark red carpets last night? <\/p>\n

Playing it safe is a surefire way to fly under the radar and avoid being marked worst-dressed, but traditional beauty is what the Oscars red carpet is for. The afterparties<\/a> are where the girls are supposed to get their freak on, and experimentation should be the name of the game. To be fair, some risk-takers got our hearts racing. Take Julia Fox<\/a>, who has previously showed up unreasonably stoned to this party with a leather hand molded on her neck. She went more classically glam with her makeup for the evening, but the funky dual wrapped buns and her shoulder-forward Viktor & Rolf gown<\/a> were elegant and just weird enough to stand out.<\/p>\n
