Showing off her enviable curves in the figure hugging gown that dropped to the floor with a small train to look like she was floating on air.

She was greeted at the event by actor Jon Voight, 78, who looked more than happy to be in her company as she dazzled him with her charms.

The party was held to celebrate this year's Academy Awards - which was marred by an epic blunder that saw the coveted Best Film gong be given to the wrong nominee.

It appears that the cast and crew of La La Land and Moonlight may need a drink or two to let their hair down after the epic gaffe.

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway presented the award to La La Land after a moment's hesitation - only to realise they had been given the Best Lead Actress card again and it was actually Moonlight who should've taken home the gong.

Thankfully everyone took the mistake in good spirits and the team willingly handed over the statuettes as Warren apologised for the mistake.

It appeared that understated glam was a running theme for the evening's festivities at Vanity Fair - with 58-year-old Kelly Lynch wearing a similar number.

Model Kelly also wore a pencil-strapped gown and kept her make-up to a minimum - only her dress was a darker, midnight blue than Kelly's and had lining detailing around the edges and down the middle of her dress.

The beautiful blondes then partied the night away with a host of celebrities including Jennifer Aniston and her other half Justin Theroux, Sofia Vergara and her husband Joe Manganiello and Katy Perry.

Jennifer, who introduced the In Memorium segment at the evening's awards show, choked up at one of the most emotional parts of the night as she remembered Bill Paxton - who died 24 hours before the ceremony at the aged of 61 following surgery complications.

She then broke off to compose herself as she choked up before continuing the introduction and said: “Let us remember their lives and their beautiful work. All were loved, and all will be missed.”

The red carpet soon started filling up as the creme de le creme of Hollywood left the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.

Amy Adams looked very vintage Hollywood in her plunging silver gown, her sleek red hair swept to one side in soft waves.

Away from the awards season, Kate has had a lot to celebrate of late - after kicking off the year by having her naked image projected onto the front of the Empire State Building in New York.

Not just content with one striking cover, Kate has posed for three different shots which show off her famous assets.

Kate laughed about the covers and told US host Jimmy Kimmel in an interview with him on his chat show: “I’m pretty sure it’s Sports Illustrated Nude Magazine.”

In one of the images, Kate’s modesty is barely covered by a piece of jewellery.

She joked: “In this one, it’s just a necklace – the hand placement was very important.”

She wrote: “I feel so honoured and excited to be back with Sports Illustrated!!

Speaking about being asked back by the magazine's editor MJ Day, she said: "I was very excited when MJ asked me to be back in the issue.

"Especially when this year's theme is about every woman of every age and every body type being accepted.

"It was inspiring to be asked to be a part of that issue."
