Oscar-nominated "Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo stunned at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

The actress and singer, who plays Elphaba in the hit musical movie, swapped out her dramatic dark green Louis Vuitton dress from the awards ceremony, donning a softer look for the annual after party.

Erivo turned heads on the second red carpet of the evening following the 97th Academy Awards in a soft, asymmetrical tulle gown.

The backless, draped Vivienne Westwood dress was accented with dangling oversized pearls and large black bows.
