Heidi Klum, Nina Dobrev, and More Hit Up Elton John's Oscar Party — See Our Style Breakdown!

The fashion doesn't stop at the Oscars red carpet — in fact, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Between the Vanity Fair shindig, Governors Ball gala, and Elton John's Oscars party, there are a lot of red-carpet looks off the official red carpet. To this point, we've caught Nina Dobrev in a J. Mendel gown fresh off the Fall '12 runway, Heidi Klum in a shockingly bright yellow Versace minidress, Miley Cyrus channeling Old Hollywood glam in a Robert Cavalli number, and more at Elton's celeb-packed viewing party. Click through for the stylish breakdown of this star-studded pack, and then be sure to vote for the best-dressed look of Oscar night by playing in our super addictive Oscar Best Dressed bracket.

Dita Von Teese donned a blush-toned Jenny Packham gown dripping in crystal-encrusted embellishments.

Brooklyn Decker wore a nude Valentino gown with netted overlay to the Elton John viewing party.

Heidi Klum opted for a bright pop of color with this neon yellow Versace minidress and shiny gold clutch.

Anna Paquin covered up in a Pucci long-sleeved black dress finished in embellished details. Her gold jewels and black pumps topped off the cocktail-party look.

Nina Dobrev looked ultrachic in a Fall '12 J. Mendel gown, fresh off the runway. The slick cutouts provide extra edge in an otherwise elegant floor-length ensemble.

Katy Perry chose a sheer-infused Blumarine gown and minimal jewelry for the evening's festivities.

Kim Kardashian stepped out in a form-fitting black gown by Alaia paired with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Christian Louboutin heels.

Miley Cyrus channeled Hollywood siren glamour in a grayish silver Roberto Cavalli creation. Her bold red lip and statement earrings injected additional glitz into the look.

Karolina Kurkova went with something a little different — a sparkly jumpsuit by Armani. To offset the metallic sheen, she wore red velvet pumps, too.

Dianna Agron looked like the picture of Spring in this pretty floral Carolina Herrera dress.

Mena Suvari was a feathery vision in white, but she contrasted the light Romona Kevezaf frock with black accessories.

Alessandra Ambrosio showed off her baby bump in a diaphanous nude gown by Roberto Cavalli — we love the sexy leg slit!

Sarah Hyland chose a ballerina-inspired black Collette Dinnigan dress, peep-toe pumps, and a red clutch for her appearance.

Michelle Rodriguez stepped out in a sheer black strapless, complete with a dramatic train.

Anne Heche went glittery in a gold and black sheer-trimmed gown by Dolce and Gabbana.

Paz Vega kept it ultra-sleek in a long-sleeved white gown with an eye-catching feather detail at the waist.

Rose McGowan slipped into a one-shouldered Paula Ka gown and toted an Edie Parker clutch for the night's afterparties.

Ziyi Zhang chose a glamorous, yet soft Elie Saab with a hint of sexy via a cutout at the neckline and a leg-baring slit.

Petra Nemcova chose a sultry red gown with a revealing key hole neckline.

Bar Refaeli channeled bombshell glamour in a decadent sequined Roberto Cavalli gown.

Kelly Osbourne went for a sweet style in a daffodil yellow gown by Georges Hobeika Couture.

Malin Akerman channeled a sexy, sporty vibe in sleek, embellished Sportmax.

Terri Seymour chose a one-shouldered gown in gray metallic.

Gwen Stefani showed off her eclectic style in a Zuhair Murad Couture sheer black cocktail frock with intricate beading and red floral-appliqué.

Irina Shayk went white-hot in a stem-flaunting, slit Versace.

Marisa Miller capitalized on the night's glamorous occasion in an all-over gold sequined gown.

Vanessa Hudgens glammed up in a gold Georges Chakra gown.

Mischa Barton's look had a vintage-inspired feel thanks to a '40s-style dress by Temperley, jeweled broach, and a deep red lip.

Ashley Tisdale opted for all-out Hollywood glam in a one-shouldered scarlet-red gown by Maria Lucia Hohan dress with Jerome C. Rousseau pumps.

Jessica Lowndes went flirty and femme in a fit-and-flare frock and Coomi "Eternity" ring.

I don't understand how Kelly Osbourne dresses like that when she's in a fashion show. She looks so matronly all the time.

Ziyi Zhang, that's a nice dress.

that mena dress looks like cotton balls to me

I might be totally alone in this but I actually LOVED Mena Suvari's feathered dress. It looks like she could float away!

@nikkisoda @Noria Morales Totally. Not sure I'm in love with January Jones look BUT she definitely switched it up. And the colors are gorgeous against her skintone.

@Noria Morales Yes! I agree. January Jone's was also not boring.

I think there are so many interesting choices here — from Nina Dobrev's cutouts to Heidi's statement color and Karolina's jumpsuit. Lots of bold party looks!

HI @nikkisoda did you see Eliz Banks's dress at the VF party? That was def not boring.

These are beautiful dresses. But am I the only one that thinks, "boring". I mean come on! This is Elton John's Oscar Party! To me the only one that took any kind or risk was Mena. Not saying she shut it down or anything but she did spark my interest. I miss risk.
