Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:36:16 EST

There are always a select few who bring out the sexy factor on the Oscars red carpet and its accompanying after parties. This year's batch showcases Jennifer Lopez in not one, but two plunging necklines from Zuhair Murad, Heidi Klum in a sexy couture minidress by Versace, and Kate Beckinsale in sultry Roberto Cavalli cut-outs. Meanwhile, Hollywood beauties like Angelina Jolie and Irina Shayk showed off their sexy pins in thigh-slit gowns by Versace. Check out the slideshow to see who wore the sexiest gowns on this year's red rug.

2012 Oscars Accessories Trend: Collar Necklaces

Alison Parr — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:01:52 EST

Sometimes all you need is one showstopping strand of bling to make a serious siren statement - and last night's Oscar A-list set offered up multiple ways to execute it with minimal fanfare. Three words: short strand necklaces. Michelle Williams chose a sweet diamond necklace to accent her coral, red, sorry, orange Louis Vuitton gown on the red carpet, while Olivia Wilde opted for a bold collar to offset her slinky Gucci number at the Vanity Fair party. Zoe Saldana gave the illusion of a floating diamond collar with her strategically embellished Marios Schwab frock, Penelope Cruz added a stunning strand to highlight the princess quality of her Armani confection, and Natalie Portman chose a gorgeous diamond V-shaped choker to accompany her vintage Christian Dior look. It's a simple accessory trick with infinite glitz potential. To achieve a similar decked-out décolletage, shop our Oscar-worthy single-strand picks below.

Sheer Thing: See-Through Insets at Oscars After Parties

Hannah Weil — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 08:33:44 EST

If it wasn't all-over sequins or bold colour that caught our eye on last night's after party attendees, it was the sultry sheer detailing that drew us in. With subtle sex appeal, sheer fabrications left just a little to the imagination on necklines and hemlines alike. While the feel from Kate Bosworth's Prabal Gurung confection, Zoe Saldana's Marios Schwab, and Ginnifer Goodwin's Peter Som gowns are on the moodier side of the sartorial spectrum, the feel is a touch softer and ethereal in white, and all-out sexy in red finishes. In each case, sheer details play up the drama of the dress with see-through illusion that's eye-catching without being OTT. Just click through to see how our favourite style setters worked this sexy red-carpet trend.

2012 Oscars After Party: Zoe Saldana

POPSUGAR Fashion — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 07:21:34 EST

We were hoping Zoe Saldana would make an Oscar-night appearance - and we just got what we wished for thanks to Vanity Fair's after party. Equal parts vampy and vintage-inspired, Zoe opted for a Marios Schwab sheer-skirted black satin gown that gets a dose of sweetness via a jewelled collar (a popular choice last night) and a hint of sexy via see-through insets. A bold croc clutch complete her awards-night style. Do you love it?

2012 Oscars After Party: Diane Kruger

POPSUGAR Fashion — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 07:15:43 EST

You can trust Diane Kruger to make a styled arrival - and her appearance at last night's Vanity Fair Oscar fête didn't disappoint. Diane's elegant-cum-sultry red Calvin Klein gown gets a jolt of sexy via a plunging neckline and a peek at her pretty lace bralette, while she adds interest with a gold box clutch and a pair of intricate diamond drop earrings. Diane doesn't often shy away from making a statement on the red carpet, and we think this is a risk that's paid off in spades. Do you agree?
