Ah, the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars Party. After three long months, Oscar party marked the end of awards season—and for their final hurrah, Hollywood’s biggest stars showed up in some of their most dazzling (and risqué!) looks yet at the after party celebrations everyone wants to be at.
Nude, sheer, and stylish outfits dominated the Oscars, with Julia Fox leading the trend in a daring sheer dress. The Jenner sisters followed suit, with Kylie in a corseted Ashi Studio dress and Kendall in vintage Mugler.
Some, like Olivia Wilde, ended Oscars night channeling their inner bohemian. The actor-director opted for a lacy white number from Chemena Kamali’s spring 2025 ready-to-wear show for Chloé that paired well with this year’s colourful striped carpet. Model and actor Hari Neff also brought out some major designer lace, wearing a romantic, moody deep-V-cut gown from Alessandro Michele cinched at the waist with an exaggerated bow.
Headed over Lions Bridge and made our way to the Sofia Synagogue, then sheltered in the Central Market Hall until the recurrent (but short-lived) mid-afternoon rain passed.
Feeling refreshed after an espresso, we walked a short distance to the small but welcoming Banya Bashi Mosque, then descended into the ancient Serdica complex.
We were exhausted after a long day of travel, so we headed back to the hotel and crashed.
I had low expectations about Sofia as a city, but after the walking tour I absolutely loved the place. This was an easy city to navigate, and it was a beautiful city – despite its ugly, staunch and stolid communist-built surrounds. Sofia has a very average facade as you enter the city, but once you lose yourself in the old town area, everything changes.
Clothes can transform your mood and confidence. Fashion moves so quickly that, unless you have a strong point of view, you can lose integrity. I like to be real. I don’t like things to be staged or fussy. I think I’d go mad if I didn’t have a place to escape to. You have to stay true to your heritage, that’s what your brand is about.
