At the 2012 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, Sanchez sported a strapless, understated gown. It had a fitted bodice, a straight skirt, and solid fabric.
But its bright-red shade stood out on the carpet and made for a memorable look. The color has even become one of Sanchez's go-to shades in more recent years.
She completed the look with platform sandals and diamond jewelry.
