This year’s Oscars ceremony was REAL white, dry and unseasoned.

However, the afterparty scene was lit with melanin and celebs def brought their A+ fashion game to Vanity Fair’s annual Oscars afterparty - hosted by Radhika Jones - held at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. All the “IT” folks were there to mix, mingle and have fun.

OK...we see Gabrielle Union and her hubby Dwyane Wade coordinated their party 'fits.

Rocking a spring-inspired floral look, the former “AGT” judge slipped on a white strapless Giambattista Valli midi dress that featured white 3D flowers cinched at the waist with a diamond-encrusted belt. She paired the dress with a bomb pair of Jimmy Choo’s ‘Thyra’ sandals.

In case you've been under a rock, catch up on all the deets involving Gabby and her departure from "America's Got Talent" HERE.

Coordinating with his wife, the retired NBA baller rocked a white blazer with lace detailing, black trousers and black shoes.

Sheesh. We love to see it.

We were counting on Chrissy Teigen to gives us some meme-able moments during the ceremony, but that sadly didn't happen. However, chick was on the afterparty scene with her hubby/EGOT John Legend.

The "Lip Sync Battle" color commentator floated on the carpet in a seafom green Georges Hobeika couture gown.

Speaking of EGOT...

Oscar nomiee Cynthia Erivo was in the running in two categories and had she won one, she would have officially reached EGOT status. Not only that, she would have been the youngest person and the one who reached the big feat the fastest. Unfortunately, she didn't nab an award last night, however, chick slayed the Oscars red carpet and the afterpary carpet.

The British born actress wowed in a lilac and teal gown with a thigh-high slit. It resembled her white Versace gown she wore on the carpet.

After chatting it up with celebs on the red carpet for the Oscars before the show, "POSE" actor Billy Porter changed from his Giles Deacon couture gown to something more dance ready. The Golden Globe nominated actor slipped into this custom purple and lilac Christian Siriano 'fit, topped with a custom Sarah Sokol Millinery brimmed hat, and a "F*CK U PAY ME" clutch by These Pink Lips.

Billy stay shutting down a carpet, honey.

Kiki Layne is def becoming one of our faves to see on a carpet because chick hardly ever disappoints. Like, ever.

The If Beale Street Could Talk actress looked regal in this sparkly gold Michael Kors gown, styled by Wayman and Micah. The hair, her skin...walking perfection.

Fab directress Ava DuVernay follows a specific blueprint when it comes to her red carpet looks and her Oscars look didn't stray from what works for her. The "When They See Us" director wore an emerald green Galia Lahav gown, styled by Jason Bolden.

How Do You Wear it? Reader Halloween 2018 Costumes Part 2

By: Morgan Smith (@muvamorgs)

Being in college and low on funds, I learned to “make do with what I have”. Halloween costumes sold at stores are kind of expensive, typically running from $30 to almost $80 in some cases. Creating your own costume is honestly cheaper and more fun than buying one already put together for you because you get to add your own flare and creativity. DIY costumes have grown in popularity over the years as people have been going ALL types of extremes to achieve the looks of their favorite characters, memes, and celebrities! I noticed that Rihanna and Lil’ Kim’s looks over the years appear the most on the streets during Halloween because they have carry such huge influences in the fashion industry. Kim and Rih have given us such daringly sexy looks that have always turned heads and stuck in our minds which is why they are labeled as fashion icons. Each year, everyone goes all out every year trying to mimic their most iconic looks. Let’s get into this year’s best recreations!

Lil Kim has long been viewed as a fashion icon by supplying us what her bold and sexy looks. She blessed us with her 4 infamous outfits from “Crush on You” where she dressed in the colors red, blue, yellow, and green, providing us with 4 timeless and iconic looks. And let’s not forget the infamous purple jumpsuit with the seashell pasty outfit from the 1999 VMA. I have seen many people dress up like Kim on Halloween. Last year on Halloween, Beyonce even paid homage by dressing up as five of Kim’s famous looks. But let’s take a look at this year’s DIY Lil Kim looks:

Ann Wynn (@ann.wynn) as Kim modeling for Baby Phat Lingerie in 2000

Kimberly Jenner (@poshspiiiice) as Kim at the 1999 VMAs.

Monae Bynum (@hiiimoe) as Kim being styled Misa Hylton

Arianna Garcia (@makeupari_) as Kim at the Tommy Hilfiger “Rock Style” exhibit at the Met in 1999

Paola (@mira_xoo), Natacha (@nlrmxo), Asha (@ashamonnae),

and Chanel (@chanelrich_) channeling their inner Kim vibes

by recreating all 4 looks from the “Crush on You” video

Now, we ALL love us some Rih Rih. From her unique street style to her glamorous red carpet looks, Rihanna has long been viewed as fashion icon. Though the Navy is waiting on new music, they have been fulfilling their needs through purchases of her Fenty Beauty and Savage Fenty products. Not to mention, they have been fueling their cravings through their amazing recreations of her most notorious looks from Coachella to 2018’s Heavenly Bodies Met Gala. Even MUA, Jackie Aina, got in on the fun!

We all love us some vintage Kim and can’t hide the fact that she gave ageless looks that greatly influence the fashion industry today. Rihanna is building an empire all the while still sprinkling her fashion influence with her effortless street style and award show looks. Even I look up to these women for style inspiration, and judging by how they are plastered across mood boards and social media platforms, I am clearly not the only one inspired by the two. I enjoyed seeing everyone’s costumes and celebrity recreations yesterday as the official spooky holiday has come to an end. You all never cease to amaze me and I cannot wait to see what you guys will be next year.

Who had your favorite look?
