At the 2006 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, an event synonymous with post-Academy Awards revelry and sartorial spectacle, Winona Ryder—ever the enigmatic presence—chose a path of refined darkness. Dressed in a black, off-the-shoulder gown, the silhouette evoked a classic Hollywood sensibility, yet with a distinctly Winona edge. The dress featured a plunging neckline and a full, tiered skirt that fell just below the knee, a playful departure from the ubiquitous floor-length gowns of the night. It was a silhouette that celebrated the waist, hinting at vintage charm without succumbing to outright nostalgia.

It was August 15th, 2004, and the No Doubt frontwoman was already a fashion force, celebrated for her fearless embrace of diverse aesthetics. On this particular New York evening, she sported a striking red and black plaid maxi skirt, its voluminous drape a nod to punk’s anti-establishment spirit, yet unexpectedly softened. Perched atop this visual anchor was a sleek black camisole layered over a simple white t-shirt—a signature Gwen move, blending casual comfort with deliberate edge.
