Jessica Biel Glams Up 28th Annual Night of Stars


Celebrating men's style while raising funds for AIDS research, the 2011 amfAR Inspiration Gala took place at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, California on Thursday night (October 27).

The ritzy affair drew out a full slate of celebrity guests, with Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock leading the charge while attending to present a special tribute to Dame Elizabeth Taylor.

Meanwhile, Hollywood hunks such as Colin Farrell, Josh Duhamel, Sean Penn and Ryan Kwanten all turned up for the sold-out gathering - which included a cocktail reception, fashion presentation, gala dinner, live auction and performances by Sinead O'Connor and Deborah Harry.

Rounding out the guest list at the 2011 amfAR Inspiration Gala were lovely ladies including Rose McGowan, Selma Blair, Garcelle Beauvais and singer Estelle, who spent the evening alongside Reca Group President Paolo Diacci.

Gathering together for an intimate dinner party, a handful of Hollywood ladies prettied up the Chanel Boutique on Robertson Blvd. in Los Angeles, California on Thursday night (October 27).

Among those on-hand to toast the professionals who pretty them up before public appearances and time in front of the cameras were "Straw Dogs" darling Kate Bosworth and "True Grit" cutie Hailee Steinfeld, who tweeted prior to dinner's kickoff, "On my way to dinner at Chanel! So excited!"

Also joining in on the fashionable soiree to celebrate Chanel's celebrity makeup artists was "Super 8" star Elle Fanning, who looked as cute as can be in a short-sleeved black turtleneck top with a short white skirt and thin black belt.

Rounding out the guest list were "Mad Men" beauty Christina Hendricks, magazine heiress Lydia Hearst and model/TV presenter Cat Deeley, who also messaged of the night's plans, "On the way to Chanel! Working 70's glam..."

Traveling across the globe for a special performance, Lady Gaga has kicked off her four day stay in Delhi, India.

The "You and I" singer was spotted arriving at the IGI airport while being whisked away to the Taj Mahal Hotel - where she and her entourage were led through an alternate entry amid strict security.

Of the sighting, an onlooker told local press, “She was wearing a violet skirt with a formal top, jacket and gloves. Her people escorted her quickly to prevent any mobbing."

Making sure to treat herself to a comfortable stay in the second largest locale in India, Gaga settled into the Taj Mahal's 3500 sq feet grand presidential suite - with the spectacular spot including a master bedroom, a master bathroom, a vanity room, a private pantry, a library, a private workout area, a living room, a dining room and a powder room.

With a few scattered appearances lined up over her first few days, the Mother Monster will wrap up her trip by performing at the Lap Club after-party of the inaugural Formula One race on October 30th.

Tweeting about the trip - as well as reaching the 15 million Twitter follower milestone - Gaga wrote, "I am finally here + what a dream come true. Performing at Formula 1 in INDIA, and my first day here I reached #15millionmonsters."

A short while later, the 25-year-old added, "Were not in NEW YORK anymore Toto! This isn't the #NewDeli, its #NewDelhi! We've come a long way since the lower east side. NAMASTE!"

With anticipation growing each and every day, Summit Entertainment keeps putting forth more and more new material ahead of the November 18th release of "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1".

The movie-making company's latest offering happens to be another short trailer - with the thirty second teaser centering solely on Taylor Lautner's character of Jacob Black.

Based on Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series, the film finds Jacob returning after an absence of several weeks to attend Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward's (Robert Pattinson> wedding - with Taylor's character also becoming narrator for several chapters while ultimately forming a bond with the previously disdained Cullens as they band together to protect Bella.

Talking about the vampire franchise's fourth installment and filming his role, Lautner dished, “I can’t wait for everyone to see Breaking Dawn Pt. 1. You’re going to see every one of the characters in a different light than you’ve ever seen them before." He added, "It’s by far the most challenging experience I’ve had as an actor.”

Stepping out for a fashionable evening, Jessica Biel was on-hand for the Fashion Group International 28th Annual Night of Stars in New York City on Thursday (October 27).

The "Easy Virtue" vixen looked glamorous in a floor-length cream frock with a gold leaf belt as she took to the black tie gala held at Cipriani 55 Wall Street.

Hosted by Simon Doonan, Miss Biel attended the event as one of the celebrity presenters - as she was assigned to walk onstage alongside Star Honoree Giambattista Valli.

The Night of Stars soiree followed a more casual fete the previous night, as Jessica was alongside on-again boyfriend Justin Timberlake, as well as Sir Elton John and David Furnish, with the group attending the One Night Only Party with One Republic held at Justin's Southern Hospitality BBQ restaurant.
