And this year, one of my personal favorite Vanity Fair afterparty looks that made my jaw hit the floor was Melanie Lynskey, who always, always understands the red carpet assignment and dresses incredibly.

She wore a stunning off-the-shoulder red sequenced gown by Christian Siriano, paired with a red clutch and simple but gorgeous diamond jewelry by Martin Katz.

Melanie attended the event alongside her husband, Jason Ritter, who looked just as flawless, opting for a classic black tux and bow tie.

And I'm not alone. As soon as pictures of Melanie hit the internet, people — including her current Yellowjackets castmates and her BFF/But I'm A Cheerleader costar Natasha Lyonne — were simply gushing over this sparkling red look:

Melanie even commented:
