Flash of Glamour: Oscar After Parties

I hope no one thinks that just one round of Oscar fashions would be enough for us!  After the Oscars ended, many attendees migrated to the after parties sporting entirely new looks for us to gawk at, joining those who weren't invited to the big party.  Let's take a gander at these (sometimes second) looks.

It seems that the same trends and styles that permeated the Oscars carried over quite easily to the after parties.  There were still whites and blush tones, lots of sparkles and metallics, and the only colors making an appearance being red and blue.  Regardless, the ladies looked lovely, as to be expected:

From left: Amanda Seyfried in a red Givenchy dress (which she performed in during the show); Elizabeth Banks in a strapless Alexander McQueen gown with gold accents, Dior Fine Jewelry and a funky braided updo; Hilary Swank in a crimson Valentino gown from the design house’s Spring 2013 Couture runway.

 

From left: Jennifer Lawrence in a simple and skintight metallic Calvin Klein Collection gown; Kate Beckinsale in a spiderweb-esque beaded Monique Lhuillier gown, plus Chopard jewels, a Roger Vivier box clutch and her signature perky pony; Naomi Watts in a dazzling black-and-gold one-shoulder Emilio Pucci gown with Neil Lane jewels
