At the famous Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where fashion often steals the show, Emily Ratajkowski showed once again why she’s one of the most memorable style icons on the red carpet. Known for her bold fashion choices, she wore a stunning dress by Connor Ives that mixed vintage vibes with a modern edge.
Ratajkowski’s deep maroon velvet gown caught the eye with its rich texture and shaped silhouette. The dress had a plunging cowl neckline that gently framed her collarbones, adding a simple yet elegant touch.
Velvet, a fabric linked to 90s glamour, added depth and a soft shine under the lights, creating a look that felt both nostalgic and fresh.
The front of the dress showed quiet sophistication, but the real drama was in the back. The gown was completely backless, held by thin strings that gave it a daring, almost gravity-defying look.
Side cutouts and flowing drapes enhanced the silhouette, letting the dress move naturally with each step. Ruching at the waist added shape, while the relaxed fit kept the look effortless.

This mix of structure and flow, boldness and ease, defined the whole outfit.
Ratajkowski showed real red-carpet skill by letting the dress take center stage.
She paired the look with Christian Louboutin platform heels, subtly visible as she walked. Accessories were kept minimal, reinforcing the idea that confidence, not excess, defines modern luxury.
Her beauty matched this style. Soft waves framed her face, and bronzed makeup with defined eyes and nude lips complemented the gown’s deep colors without stealing the show.
Styled by Danielle Goldberg, the look reflected Ratajkowski’s signature style: confident, sensual, and boldly unapologetic.
By mixing 90s-inspired glamour with modern minimalism, the look captured what modern fashion is all about: expressive, flowing, and fearless.
