The 2020 Oscars was full of surprise winners, rollicking musical numbers, entertaining keynote speeches – and of course, haute couture.

But while Hollywood’s elite brought their fashion A game to the ceremony, they certainly amped up the glam factor for the Vanity Fair after party. The star-studded event showcased some of the most daring looks of awards season to date, including our favorite, the thigh-high slit.

Keep reading to see the sexiest looks of the night below.

Adriana Lima stunned in a satin Ralph & Russo gown from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2020 couture collection. The showstopper featured a single strap, artfully designed to drape across Lima’s left arm, plus a ruched bodice and short train, capped with a daring thigh-high slit that put her crystal-covered tights on full display. (BRB, where can we get a pair?!)

Mrs. Justin Beiber, AKA Hailey Beiber, hopped on the red carpet sans husband to bless us with this black Versace gown, featuring sheer detailing, Swarovski crystals and a sky-high slit. A true 90s babe, Hailey’s outfit nodded to a simpler time when it was popular to rock a dress over a top.

New mom Shay Mitchell only recently gave birth, but you’d never know it from this picture. The Pretty Little Liars star glowed in a beaded tulle dress from Saudi label Hondaya, which is the Arabic word for a sword’s sheath. Given the amazing fit, we think this is a perfectly apt description.

In my dream dress with my dream date

A post shared by Barbara Palvin (@realbarbarapalvin) on

Sports Illustrated model Barbara Palvin might be a newcomer on the scene, but she rocked the red carpet like a seasoned pro, wowing in a see-through Versace gown topped with Swarovski crystals and a thigh-high slit.

Of course, her stellar look wasn’t complete without some arm candy! Boyfriend Dylan Sprouse coordinated with the model in a sparkling Versace suit, and he even sweetly arranged Palvin’s dress for pictures. What else are boyfriends for?!

Recreate an Oscars-worthy look for less by shopping the similarly thigh-baring styles below.
