The red carpet at the 94th Academy Awards had hardly ended when Janelle Monáe turned everyone’s attention to the after-parties and her striking cutout little black dress for the night’s festivities. Monáe arrived to the step-and-repeat at Vanity Fair’s annual Oscar party in a skintight, sleeveless black dress by Christian Siriano. Its most striking feature? Diamond cutouts separated by bold white circle buttons, from the top of the bodice down to the dress’s ankle-skimming hemline. To let her cutouts take the spotlight, Monáe kept her accessories minimal. She wore studded and chain earrings on both ears, and carried a tiny top-handle black bag. Monáe finished the look with strappy black sandal heels.

In short, her look is the blueprint for memorable after-party dressing.
