The Oscars red carpet was all about glamour and class, but the rules of fashion went out the window for the after parties. This year there were two official after parties hosted by Vanity Fair and the Elton John Aids Foundations respectively. Practically of Hollywood attended the after parties including dozens of celebrities that weren’t even at the actual award show. Some celebrities nailed their after party looks by pushing the envelope while others nailed their looks by following current trends. Here are my favorite looks from the 2024 Oscars After Parties:

While the women definitely dominated the night in terms of fashion, there were also some men who deserved a place on the best dressed list. Any man who pushed the boundaries of men’s fashion and opts for something that isn’t a classic black suit or tuxedo deserves to be recognized. Here are the best dressed men at this year’s after parties: 

Lenny Kravitz 

If anyone is known for pushing the boundaries of men’s fashion and creating fashion trends, it’s Lenny Kravitz. For the after party he stuck with a perfectly tailored black jacket and matching black pants.

He added dramatic black sunglasses to the look in classic Lenny Kravitz style adding drama to the look. Overall the look combined his personal style, drama and classic styling making it perfect for the after party. 

Barry Keoghan 

It’s not often both halves of a celebrity couple make a best dressed list for the same event, but Barry Keoghan and his current girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter both did in this case. Barry wore black pants and white undershirt but the highlight of his look was the tweed jacket that resembled the men’s version of Channel’s classic tweed jackets. He accessorized the look with simple jewelry that elevated the overall look, including a handmade friendship bracelet with Sabrina’s name on it. Overall the look was daring and the jacket was a bold choice that paid off. 

Chris Evans 

While a men’s suit usually isn’t really pushing the boundaries of fashion, Chris Evans found a way to make his suit push the boundaries of fashion.

The red color made him stand out and the bold move to choose a less than typical color was refreshing. 

Tan France 

Tan France is another men’s fashion icon and his after party look did not disappoint. He wore black pants paired with a gray jacket complete with a matching dramatic cape.

The dramatic cape added drama to the look, but the black pants and neutral gray color of the jacket kept the elegance of the look. Overall it was the perfect balance of elegance and drama 

Ncuti Gatwa

It was no surprise that one of the Kens from the ‘Barbie’ movie would also be one of the best dressed at the after party. Ncuti Gatwa wore a high neck silver chest-plate with black pants and his midriff peeking through. The look was a bold choice and definitely pushed the fashion envelope. He kept the pants and shoes sleek and classic while the chest-plate was a bold statement and a risky choice that definitely paid off.
