Keke Palmerjust channeled Y2K style iconChristina Aguileraat anOscarsafterparty — and looked good doing it!

The skin-baring white gown, which showed off the actress’s abs — and sprawling floral rib tattoo — is a Demi-Couture piece from the fashion house’s Spring 2004 collection, according to vintage and couture retailerOpulentAddict, who sourced it for Palmer’s stylistMolly Dickson.

Featuring a bandeau top, sparkling mesh overlay, and dreamy, handkerchief hem skirt with a knee-high slit, the dress immediately cemented Palmer as one of the best-dressed celebritiesat the Oscar afterparties.

TheScream Queensalum let the vintage beauty speak for itself, teaming it with a pair of strappy silver heels, a slicked-back bun and a bright, springy makeup look complete with a glossy, mauve lip. She also tied together its glittering overlay — courtesy of Swarovski crystal embellishments, per OpulentAddict — with a pair of sparkling drop earrings.

And though the star made the standout look her own, Aguilera, 44, rocked it first — which Dickson (who also styledSydney SweeneyandLauren Sánchezat the Oscars afterparty) acknowledged on her Instagram, sharing the singer’s look along with Palmer’s.

The “Lady Marmalade” singer paired the ab-revealing dress with a shimmery eye look, dark blush and a bright red lip, along with ultra-thin, arched brows. Her hair, which was jet black at the time, was styled in a pinned-back, wavy updo. (Betty Boop, anyone?)

Like Palmer, the star also went for an additional pop of sparkle with her jewelry, adding a pair of drop earrings to the red carpet look.
