The Striking Oscars After-Party Looks You Didn't See
We had high hopes for the 2019 Oscars red carpet, and celebrities like Lady Gaga, Angela Bassett, Charlize Theron, and others truly knocked it out of the park this year. Jennifer Lopez wore an insanely intricate Tom Ford dress with mirrored mosaic details, while Theron contrasted her newly dark hair with a sleek Dior gown. But while the ceremony's red carpet was beautiful, the after-parties are where it's at if you want to see more risk-taking outfits.
Attending Oscars after-parties, Lopez changed into a Zuhair Murad Couture dress while Mindy Kaling stunned in an Alberta Ferretti number. Serena Williams wore a Giambattista Valli dress with stunning Forevermark jewelry styled expertly by Jason Bolden, who told Who What Wear why he was excited to work with her for the Oscars and the after-party. "What I love the most about her style is that it’s honest," he told us. "She likes to have fun and she brings that to every look!"
Meanwhile, Selma Blair's colorful Ralph & Russo gown marked her first red carpet appearance since she revealed her MS diagnosis back in October. Hollywood couples also came out in full force, including Chrissy Teigen and John Legend and newlyweds Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. Scroll down to see the best 2019 Oscars after-party outfits.

Next, see the head-turning trend over-40 women wore at the 2019 Oscars.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
