The Oscar statuette may be gold, but at the Academy Awards after-parties, stars turned out in sheer, silver and sparkles. See the best looks.

The 96th Academy Awards wasn’t just a night to honor the best in film; it was also a feast for the eyes when it came to fashion statements.

While the red carpet delivered moments of glamour, the party continued into the wee hours as A-listers mixed and mingled long after the telecast ended.

There was plenty to celebrate. Emma Stone won her second Best Actress Oscar for her role in Poor Things, following a win in 2017 for La La Land. There were a number of first-time winners as well: Da’Vine Joy Randolph won Best Supporting Actress for her work in The Holdovers. Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. won their first Oscars for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively, for their roles in Oppenheimer. The film earned seven Academy Awards Sunday night, including Best Picture and Best Director.

At the after-parties, the fashion was as fun and festive as the awards show itself. From sparkly sequins to sheer dresses, see how stars changed up their looks.
