Nina Dobrev is always one we love to watch on the red carpet as she she never fails to disappoint — and the Oscars party last night was certainly no exception. The 24-year-old stepped out for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party held at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood on Feb. 24, where she looked stunning in a form-fitting Naeem Khan gown.

Her black and white baroque embroidered racer cut tulle gown was from the designer’s Fall 2013 collection — but the sexiest detail was definitely the v-back that allowed the star to show off some skin.

Nina complimented her frock with Barbara Bui pumps, Chopard jewels and a Swarovski clutch. I love the way Nina rocked a high pony, keeping the focus on the plunging back of the dress. The sexy open back really balanced out the high neckline. A dramatic smoky eye added to the gorgeous edgy glam look.

The Vampire Diaries star was accompanied by her co-stars, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, when she walked the red carpet at the party.

Nina’s style has really evolved and the young starlet knows how to take chances on the red carpet while still showing off something that’s appropriate and chic, and last night was no exception. While she took a chance in a printed dress I think she pulled off the pattern flawlessly! The silhouette fit her svelte frame like a glove and her killer confidence was her best accessory.

What did you think of Nina’s Oscar party dress? Was it beautiful or a bit too busy?
