An Etro-clad Jessica Simpson was the guest of honour last night at Us Weekly's annual Hot Hollywood party. This year's bash, held at the Eden nightclub, featured 2011's Style Icon, Jessica, along with other celebs like Lauren Conrad and a hot-in-red Camila Alves. American Idol's Pia Toscano looked right at home on the cream carpet, as did other attendees like Paris Hilton and Hayden Panettiere. Lauren showed off her fashion chops, too, wearing pieces from her new line Paper Crown. Jessica, however, gave props on Twitter to her clothing and makeup gurus, like Nicole Chavez and expressed some surprise at her latest honour. She said, "Style Icon of the Year, really? I'm not really that stylish, like to be honest with you. Like I wear my fiancé's Yale hoodie and a pair of sweat shorts that have been cut off, and Uggs, and Hanky Pankies, little pair of panties, you know? I'm not really that stylish, but I do know how to make a woman look beautiful, and when I want to look great, I know how to make it happen." The event was a big one for Ms. Simpson, though another celebration is on the horizon after Jessica and her fiancé Eric set a wedding date!

With the Oscars happening this weekend, the last few days in the lead up to the big event have seen A-listers frocking up and putting on their best attire. On today’s schedule? The Costume Designers Guild Awards, which recognises and honours achievements in costume design for film and TV. Ladies like Claire Danes, Louise Roe, Ginnifer Goodwin and Diane Lane stepped away from safe red carpet fare and switched up their style — some of them their hair — while guys such as Kellan Lutz and Hugh Dancy stuck to dapper suits. Halle Berry took a break from her bitter custody battle against ex Gabriel Aubry and wowed in a sexy, lace red dress. The potential winners for the night include costume designers from films Black Swan and Burlesque, and TV shows such as Glee and Mad Men.

Ben Affleck joked around with his sunglasses-wearing co-star from The Town, Jeremy Renner, yesterday afternoon at a BAFTA Los Angeles Tea Reception held in the the Four Seasons Hotel. The duo were fresh off a night spent at Friday's Critics' Choice Awards, where Ben spent a good chunk of the evening kissing and hugging his lovely wife Jennifer Garner. Michelle Williams was a lucky girl in the middle of a director sandwich, as she chatted with Blue Valentine's Derek Cianfrance and The King's Speech's Tom Hooper. Andrew Garfrield stayed close to his girlfriend Shannon Woodward, who's also good friends with Robert Pattinson. He was happy to be in the same place as so many of Hollywood's A-List, saying, "It's nice being in a room with such inspiring, wonderful people to talk to." Nicole Kidman, meanwhile, didn't bring her husband Keith Urban, but she was seen animatedly talking with Black Swan mastermind Darren Aronofsky. It was the latest event for the award season regulars, and most will be out again today for the Golden Globes — stay tuned for photos and news from the big show!
