Monica Lewinsky Wows At The Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Monica Lewinsky cut an elegant figure at the Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday night.

The Vanity Fair contributor and social activist chose a beautiful black gown for her evening attire and paired it with gold heels, teardrop earrings and a black clutch. Lewinsky wore her hair up with simple makeup and a bright red lip.

The look was far less dramatic than Lewinsky's 2015 Vanity Fair party outfit, when she wore a beautiful, sleeved red dress.

Lewinsky is now a powerful figure in the anti-bullying realm, using her own personal experience to empower others. The 42-year-old recently spoke at a TED talk last year about what it was like to be shamed on a worldwide scale and how she fought back to reclaim her narrative.

"I was Patient Zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously," Lewinsky said. "I was branded as a tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo and, of course, 'that woman.' I was known by many, but actually known by few. I get it. It was easy to forget 'that woman' was dimensional and had a soul."
