The dresses the Oscars would NEVER allow: How Margot Robbie and Florence Pugh ditched elegant gowns for more risqué frocks as they let their hair down at after-party... but it's the dry cleaners who are the real winners!


At the after-parties the stars get a chance to shine with a different type of lustre than that required on the Oscars red carpet. And, this year, it was more obvious than ever.

After months of facials, fittings, juice cleanses, make-up mishaps, hair prep, ramped-up Ozempic jabs and heated debates with stressed-out stylists, you might imagine that when the curtain fell on Sunday night, guests at the 96th Academy Awards ceremony would have grabbed their goody bags and left, happy to collapse in a heap on their beds. By contrast, Robbie's Oscar look was a long, black, sequin column dress by Versace — a rather more sober choice than expected, since she has spent the duration of her promotional activities for Barbie wearing variations of pink, all created by different top designers in homage to her character. As a brand ambassador for the house, it was a given that the Oscar-winning actress would be dressed in Louis Vuitton for the ceremony and, bar an on-stage zip malfunction, her pale mint green gown with its exaggerated peplum waist was pitch perfect.
