Ellie Goulding looked like a Grecian goddess on Sunday night as she attended the Vanity Fair Oscars Party at the Wallis Annenberg Center.
The prestigious bash, which takes place in Beverly Hills, is a celebration of the Academy Awards and attracts many of the biggest names in Hollywood.
The singer, 38, made sure she pulled out all the stops for the occasion, arriving in a draped silver gown, made of a shimmering mesh material.
Her off-the-shoulder number boasted a flowing skirt and small train, while the fitted bodice flashed a glimpse of her cleavage and was adorned with bow detailing on the sleeves.
Ellie added even more sparkle to her dazzling look with a number of diamond rings and matching earrings.
The Love Me Like You Do hitmaker wore her blonde hair sleek and straight and sported a full face of radiant makeup and was seen laughing with fellow pop star Katy Perry.

She is currently thought to be single, following her recent split from surf instructor ex-boyfriend Armando Perez.
Ellie and Armando – who is eight years her junior – struck up a romance when he gave her surfing lessons as she rang in the New Year in Costa Rica.
However friends of the pair told in October 2024 that their relationship had run its course.
One said: ‘Amando and Ellie were very attracted to one another. Despite the age gap, they struck up an instant chemistry when he gave her private surfing lessons.
‘They soon formed a bond and loved spending time together – Ellie loved hanging out on the beach with Armando to get away from everything that was going on back home after her marriage had come to an end.’
‘Armando was used to spending his days instructing in the water and running around barefoot in swim shorts, and was more comfortable enjoying his “quiet life” without the “drama” of being in the public eye,’ the source added.
‘They had a very special time together and she visited the country a lot. But they are from very different backgrounds.’
They added: ‘She is a big pop star from England while Armando’s whole life is based here in Playa Hermosa. He loves it here and I doubt he would have any plans to leave.
