Emily Ratajkowski’s Vanity Fair Oscar Party Dress Featured Dramatic Side Cutouts

2 min read

If the Oscars ceremony is all about classic Old Hollywood glamour, then the Vanity Fair Oscar Party is a place where celebrities tend to take more risks with their looks. Emily Ratajkowski has become one of the event’s most reliable scene-stealers, often arriving in bold, body-conscious designs.

Tonight, Ratajkowski opted for a velvet dress with a plunging neckline and dramatic side cutouts showcasing flashes of skin.

The model has attended the Vanity Fair party multiple times, frequently opting for sheer fabrics and daring silhouettes that stand apart from the evening’s more traditional gowns. In 2025, she arrived in a sheer lace Ludovic de Saint Sernin gown, while in 2024 she chose a sculptural ivory dress from Jacquemus’s ready-to-wear collection.

For the 2023 celebration, she wore a totally sheer silver design by Feben.

Beyond Oscars weekend, Ratajkowski was a fixture at various fashion weeks this season. She even walked in Gucci’s fall 2026 show in Milan, appearing in a rhinestone-covered silver minidress that leaned into the collection’s hedonistic, early-aughts party-girl energy.

Additionally, veteran model Kate Moss closed the show. After stepping off the runway, Ratajkowski changed into a black bodycon dress with horsebit chain detailing for the house’s post-show dinner. Reflecting on the collection later in the evening, she told Vogue, “This collection represents a perfect transition between past and future.”

Ratajkowski also made a stop at Paris Fashion Week, where she attended Dior’s fall 2026 show wearing a white halter-style top paired with black trousers.

The clean, minimalist look was a stark contrast to the high-octane Gucci pieces she wore in Italy.
