Olivia Wilde in Prabal Gurung at the VF Oscar Party: lovely or tacky?

As Kaiser has mentioned recently, many women had better party dresses for this year’s Oscars than the ones they chose for the ceremony. Like Olivia Wilde, for instance, who was in an extremely plunging v-neck white Valentino for the Oscars. When she was talking to Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet you could sense that he was struggling not to look down. On Twitter, The Frisky wondered if Olivia was using Kim Kardashian’s gaffer tape boob trick (link NSFW-ish) to keep her girls contained in that dress.

At the Vanity fair party, Wilde switched into another deep v-neck gown, a red Prabal Gurung with a loose flowing skirt, an open back and a bow at the back of the neck. This gown would have popped on the red carpet more, but I get why she went for the more dramatic and revealing white gown – she wanted to stick out and it worked.

Here’s Tina Fey in a similarly cut v-neck red gown, in Carolina Hererra. Hererra used to dress Renee Zellweger for the red carpet and I loved her classic looks. Tina really brought it at the Oscars this year and both her after party gown and her look for the red carpet were on point.

Nina Dobrev was in a floral print scoop neck gray Elie Saab gown with dusty pink floral overlay. Nina just looks incredible here. This dress isn’t overdone, it has just the right amount of details and I love the skinny pink belt. Nina just broke up with her boyfriend, Austin Stowell.

Nikki Reed, at the Elton John party, was in a Francis Libiran beige gown with a fish tail, cap sleeves and an open back. I don’t usually like gowns in this color but this works somehow. Her makeup is a little too goth for my taste though.
