Step and repeats are cool and all, but we're sure all the camera flashes start to burn after awhile. These five celebs opted to skip the red carpet at the 91st Annual Academy Awards this year, but we're still fawning over their "best dressed" worthy attire.
Taylor Swift, Lupita Nyong'o, Priyanka Chopra and Julia Roberts All Skipped the Oscars Red Carpet Last Night...Here Are Their Gorgeous Dresses
Taylor Swift
The singer skipped the red carpet with her boyfriend Joe Alwyn (the pair are notoriously private about their relationship), but she did post a shot from the Vanity Fair after-party wearing this gorgeous sparkly Ralph & Russo gown.

Lupita Nyong'o
Oh, my feathers. The Black Panther star skipped the Oscars red carpet in favor of the after-party carpet and showed off her stunning white feathered frock by Oscar de la Renta.

Priyanka Chopra And Nick Jonas
The newlyweds looked as loved up as ever at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, which is actually where the couple first met back in 2017.

Julia Roberts
Roberts was Best Picture presenter, but she kept a very low profile until her onstage debut to give Green Book the biggest award of the night. The wait was worth it, though: The “pretty woman” stunned in a hot-pink Elie Saab one-shoulder dress with matching neon Stuart Weitzman sandals.
