Following the stunning turn from Hollywood's elite on the red carpet at the 98th Academy Awards, the stars changed into their party clothes to mingle at Vanity Fair's famed Oscars after-party.

The annual bash has become as much a part of Oscar night as the prestigious ceremony itself, and this year it moved to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) for the first time in over three decades.

Many A-list guests ditched the formal Academy dress code for something more befitting of a Hollywood party, with the likes of Heidi Klum keeping the 'naked dress' trend alive.

There were also plenty of sequins, classic silhouettes, dramatic accessories, and a rainbow of dresses. See below for the best-dressed celebrities at the Vanity Fair Oscar after-party.
