Emily Ratajkowski’s velvet bombshell at Vanity Fair will melt your screen

Emily Ratajkowski made a show-stopping entrance at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 15, dazzling in a magenta velvet gown by Conner Ives.

The supermodel and author of My Body took risks with a design that plunged dramatically in both the front and back, cementing her reputation as one of Hollywood’s most daring fashion icons.

The slinky, velveteen dress featured a cowl neckline that grazed her sternum and a backless cut that revealed her entire back.

Strategic draping showcased Ratajkowski’s ribcage and offered a glimpse of side detail, creating a sensual yet elegant silhouette.

Her long brown hair was styled in a sleek middle part, and her makeup emphasized plum eyeliner, subtle blush, and a dewy pout.

Ratajkowski was styled by Danielle Goldberg, known for her work with Kendall Jenner, Zoë Kravitz, and Oscar-winner Jessie Buckley.

The Vanity Fair event, famous for its exclusive guest list, brought together stars including Kim Kardashian, Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber, Michael B. Jordan, Timothée Chalamet, and Teyana Taylor, all celebrating Hollywood’s biggest night in style.

This wasn’t the first time Ratajkowski made headlines with bold fashion choices.

Last fall at New York Fashion Week, she turned heads in a black dress with dramatic side cutouts. More recently, at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month, she sat front row at Courrèges in a square-neck backless bodysuit paired with a low-rise slit skirt, again showing off her signature fearless style.
