On Feb. 24, celebrities made their way to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles for the 2019 Oscars — the culmination of awards show season. As expected, the gowns that debuted at the annual ceremony were stunning, with pink as the clear color frontrunner. But the exciting evening looks didn't stop there. Once the winners were announced, the speeches were delivered, and Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper gave the performance of a lifetime, all the biggest names in Hollywood headed to the second major celebration of the night. Prepare yourselves: The 2019 Oscars after-party dresses are so strikingly beautiful (and unexpected), you won't be able to get them off your mind for weeks.

Case in point: Gemma Chan, who's had a thing for pink this season, traded in her magenta Valentino gown for one that was adorned with glittered fringe, Kendall Jenner wore what's easily her boldest gown to date, and Priyanka Chopra dazzled in a princess-like ball gown that had just the right amount of sparkle.
