Amanda Seyfried wore a mesh mini dress that had all eyes on her on Thursday at Vanity Fair and Lancôme’s pre-Oscars party. The event honored the year’s standout performances and the artists and storytellers paving the way to Hollywood’s future. Seyfried was among the star-studded guests, including Kate Beckinsale, Jenna Dewan, Dylan O’Brien, and many more.

The “Mean Girls” star kept it simple with a black mini dress with exaggerated sleeves, a plunging neckline and peekaboo mesh around the bodice. The hem of the dress is pleated and raised to create texture. The shoulders are pointed and defined, bringing about some much-needed volume and definition.

Meanwhile, “The Dropout” actress chose black pointed-toe pumps for shoes. The classic shape, paired with the slight sheen of the leather, creates a look that flatters the feet while providing some height.

The textural elements in this black outfit create a standout contrast, breaking up the matte blacks with shimmers and mirrored surfaces.
