Monica Lewinsky hits the Vanity Fair Oscars party in a ghastly dress -- see the look

Monica Lewinsky returned to Tinsletown for the biggest night in Hollywood -- the Oscars!

The former White House mistress hit the Vanity Fair afterparty and opted for a flirty, fun and youthful number constructed of tulle and sparkles -- the problem was that it looked a whole lot like a prom dress. The dress had a sheer, swiss-dot top which went over the top of a spaghetti strap dress teamed with a tulle, ruffled skirt. Yes, it was a bit of a hot mess.

Lewinsky paired the ensemble with a set of bright red heels and she wore her dark brown locks in long, curls. She polished it all off with nude lips, lots of bronzer, a smoky eye and a mega-watt smile.

While we weren't in love with Mo's look, the author and handbag designer was all smiles at the event and seemed to be really enjoying herself as she rubbed shoulders with big names like Sofia Vergara and Katy Perry and posed for pics with NBCUniversal's Ron Meyer and Jemima Goldsmith.

Talk about an epic night out for Monica.
