Vogue model Kaia Gerber stood out in a stunning skintight scarlet red dress with a slit up the front on Sunday evening.

The daughter of Cindy Crawford was hitting the Vanity Fair Oscar party in Beverly Hills with a friend, Cory Michael Smith, as they posed away on the white carpet.

Later, the 24-year-old exited the event with her beau of one year, Lewis Pullman, who is the son of Bill Pullman. Lewis and his father presented an award together at the big show at the Dolby Theatre.

Gerber was miles away from her ex-boyfriend, Elvis actor Austin Butler. He instead went to Beyonce and Jay-Z's Oscar bash.

That avoided an awkward run-in between Gerber and Butler, who did not seem to have the best breakup.

Their high-profile romance lasted from 2021 until last year.

Gerber's other ex, Jacob Elordi, brought a very sweet date to the 98th Academy Awards: His mother, Melissa.

The Australian was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the horror film Frankenstein.

He also attended the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday, where he was seen talking to Gerber's pal Kendall Jenner.

Gerber and Elordi were a couple for several months in 2020 and early 2021.

She also dated Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson in 2019. Davidson's ex-girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, was also at the Vanity Fair Oscars party.

This comes a month after Gerber said she found her mom Crawford's naked photo shoots empowering.

The model and actress grew up in a home where the supermodel's nude portraits were on display but she never found the pictures 'vulgar' and feels they helped teach her not to be ashamed of her body.

Kaya told Harper's Bazaar magazine: 'They were, to me, artistic. It wasn't vulgar; it wasn't objectification.

'[It was a] gift to grow up in a house that was without shame for the female body.'

Kaia began following in Cindy's footsteps as a teenager, and while the 59-year-old beauty - who also has son Presley, 26, with husband Rande Gerber - never gave advice without being asked, she wasn't afraid to be brutally honest with her daughter when she did seek out her mom's opinion.

Kaia said: 'She doesn't give out advice unless you ask/

'But if you ask, get ready, because she'll be very honest in ways that, sometimes, it's hard to hear. She's usually right, which is infuriating, but she's also very willing to let me make a mistake that she made 30 years ago.'

Kaia - who was homeschooled from the age of 15 to accommodate her modelling career - was just 10 when she was chosen to appear in Versace's first childrenswear campaign and she recalled her confused feelings at the time.

She said: I had all these adults, not only my parents, looking at me and being like, 'What should we all do now?'

'I couldn't decide I wasn't in the mood that day.'

'I was still so young. I was masking as an adult. Now that I’m more secure in my adulthood, I’m willing to show up messy and be kind of childish about certain things.'

The Palm Royale actress' runway career soon took off and she is happy to take on whatever character is necessary for her catwalk campaigns.

She said: 'I'm quite happy to be a vessel. It's not lost on me that part of my job is just being what people want me to be and being a canvas or mirror for people to reflect their own ideas onto.'

But Kaia finds balance with acting, particularly working in theatre.

She explained: 'I love theatre because it is immortalized in people's memories but not immortalized in ... media. So much of what I've done -- every photo -- is immortalized on the internet. It gets taken from me.'

'The wonderful thing about theatre is kind of how I feel about my childhood. I had my experience; the people watching had their experience. I can't go back and watch from the audience. I can only experience it from where I stood.'
