Hilary Duff Wore the Ultimate Corset Look and ‘How I Met Your Father’ Fans Can’t Look Away

No longer synonymous with the platform sandals and cargo pants of her Lizzie Maguire heyday, Hilary Duff is shedding her Disney persona one designer dress at a time.

The How I Met Your Father star attended the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars after party in Beverly Hills on March 12. She wore a champagne-colored Dolce & Gabbana gown with delicate lace detailing on the bodice and the skirt. Cinched with a corset, the dress hugged Hilary's figure, then flowed from just below her waist down to the carpet. Sheer paneling and structured boning framed her midsection.

Her strapless neckline showed off her Mikimoto pearl-adorned décolletage, adding a Judith Leiber clutch in hand. As seen on her Instagram, Hilary's husband Matthew Koma joined the actress for the night, wearing a dark red velvet tuxedo that complemented her Hollywood glam aesthetic.

A step away from her Hulu character's long hair, she debuted a blonde bob styled into wet, wavy tresses. Her makeup looked radiant as her face shimmered in pink hues.

When How I Met Your Father fans caught the look on social media, they sounded off on her post and shared how much they loved her unexpected fashion choice.

"I WANT THIS FRAMED ABOVE MY COUCH," one person wrote in the Instagram comments. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?!?!!! I AM UNWELL 😭😍," another added. "Omg. It’s giving A Cinderella Story," a different user said, referencing the actress' ballgown look in the 2004 film.

Hilary certainly knows how to perfect a night out. Her track record of bold fashion choices includes a recent risk-taking gown the actress shared on her Instagram. Slicking back her short bob, she stole the show in another floor-length dress — this time, hooped pearls trailed up the sides of her dress. Clearly, the Younger alum knows how to make a lasting impression with her daring attire.
