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.
2011 Oscars Afterparty: Best of the Rest!
Last night was Hollywood's biggest party night of the year, the main event being the Academy Awards. However, there was plenty of celebrating happening outside the show. The Elton John bash, officially known as the 19th annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Viewing Party, was one of the most stylish parties of the evening. Heidi Klum showed some seriously excellent legs in a thigh-high gown, and there was a white party between Claire Danes, Paz Vega, and Nicole Richie. Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian showed up in chic black, and there was the stuff of rock star legend with appearances from Prince and Steven Tyler. The Weinstein brothers, whose film The King's Speech took home best picture, also threw a bash that saw Jennifer Lopez in Marchesa. Click through our slideshow to see the stars' style!

Which Heidi Klum Oscar Gown Was the Most Fab?
From dramatic and regal Dior on the red carpet to short, silver, and sexy in Cavalli at the Elton John after party, Heidi Klum stole the fashion show last night. I have to stick to Dior on this one — though Heidi manages to rock the two totally different styles. Which was your fave?

Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party: Ziyi Zhang
So someone did show up in the Armani Prive dress on my Oscars red carpet wish list, but it was the wrong person! Instead of Diane Kruger, actress Ziyi Zhang wore the bright blue ruffle gown from the Spring '08 collection. Ziyi pulls it off but Diane would have made it look spectacular spectacular. Do you agree?

Outstanding in ombre, Mary J. Blige attended the Elton John Oscar's after party last night. I am definitely feeling her look here. How about you?

Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party: Eva Herzigova
Eva looks like butta in her frothy bowed Versace gown at the Elton John Oscar party. I think she pulls it off — and she definitely knows how to Vogue for the camera.

Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party: Kate Beckinsale
Believe it or not, the Oscars red carpet left me wanting more. So, I had to turn to the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party for more gown glory. Here is Kate Beckinsale in a fierce brown one shoulder Versace — I quite fancy it, you?
