At the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, Old Hollywood was resurrected by today's stars, with Hailey Bieber wearing a vintage Saint Laurent gown from 1987. Fellow model and close friend Kendall Jenner opted for a naked dress from the Mugler archive for the glitzy occasion, bringing a little Hollywood gothic to the red carpet.

The lacy, naked dress—taken from the designer's spring/summer 1992 RTW collection—gives the perfect hint of the iconic gothic character Morticia Addams. The juxtaposition of the gothic aesthetic with surprisingly delicate leathery lace gives the vintage gown a feminine, yet vampy, edge.
