Not only did Kate Beckinsale rock the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, she actually looked like a party all her own. And a really stellar party, at that. She donned a black, strapless Monique Lhuillier gown beaded in metallics in an almost firework-like design and looked stunning.

Makeup artist Molly Stern went with a sexy, understated look using Rimmel London products. With her hair in a messy ponytail up-do, her subtle, gorgeous makeup was an outstanding pairing to give her an easy, sexy look.
