Hollywood’s elite commanded attention with their eye-catching ensembles at the high-profile event over the weekend. While some captivated viewers with “stunning” attires, others faced harsh scrutiny, with social media users branding their looks as “hideous” and “repulsive.”

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

From Selena Gomez, praised for her glow, to Kim Kardashian’s “fresh face” but “horrible dress,” here are the seven best and worst outfits that sparked the most buzz from the Vanity Fair after-party.

Best Dressed – Selena Gomez

The singer looked stunning as soft voluminous curls framed her face. This was complemented by a smoky eye and nude lips, while a diamond choker added a glamorous touch.

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

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. Her 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.

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.

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 skirt’s exaggerated volume with its crinkled texture introduced a dramatic element. 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.”

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

were at the center of the debate, with social media weighing in on their looks.

Fashion remains subjective, and red carpet moments often push boundaries — sometimes with great success and other times 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.
