The Fashion at the Oscars After Parties Was Even Better Than the Red Carpet
WireImage1/39Because after the party it's the after party, celebs turned out in droves to celebrate Oscar night with the nominees and winners.
Of course, red carpet protocol for an after party calls for loosening up; after all, the awards have all been given out, and everyone is in the mood to break free from those restrictive red carpet dresses. That doesn't mean they're skipping style — in fact, we think these looks are even better than the ones we saw on the 88th Academy Awards red carpet.
