Rose Byrne was a vision in white, as she joined a chic set at the 2013 Vanity Fair Party last night, held at Sunset Tower in Los Angeles, California.
She stepped out in a bodysuit and skirt from Lanvin’s Spring 2013 collection.
At first glance, this may seem like a safe choice. But with just the slight side turn, this ensemble went from innocently white to white-hot, as the daring splice of that backless, barely-there bodysuit was revealed.
The simple wrap skirt, which was a stark contrast to the runway’s navy version and metallic belt, brought another layer of hidden seduction with the slit up the front.
With the help of designer Alber Elbaz, Rose shows us here that elegance can be edgy, and sophisticated can be sexy.
Perfectly placed Chanel jewels, including a stunning pendant earring and bangle, dressed up this ensemble even more. I don’t even mind the white platform pumps on this occasion.
I also loved her loose, effortless waves and the punch of that fuchsia lippie.
A Swarovski clutch completed her look.

Yes, sophisticated and sexy.
Very elegant. I just adore her style. And is it just me, or is she looking much healthier compared to last year’s Oscars?
This is gorgeous–but haven’t we seen this before? It looks so familiar. She looks lovely.
I keep thinking she’s going to peel off her skirt and show us what her mama gave her. This is the impression I get. I don’t think it’s the best impression to have when it comes to an Oscar’s event.
Nevertheless, I’m usually a fan of her fashion choices, so I’ll give her a pass this time.
goddess.
So sexy. She looks gorgeous.
Elegant but seductive. The pout and femme-fatale stare perfects this.
Love how well it fits her, especially the waistband, but the cut out back, sides, and slit are not working for me.
One of the best of the after parties. She looks so amazing.
this is how you do sophisticated daring sexy refined elegant at the same time! i love this look!

This is one of my favourite looks from Rose this season. I love the combination of the body suit and skirt and the fact that it did not appear tacky. Her styling is beyond perfection!
