Colin Firth

Colin Firth and his wife Livia teamed up with Anna Zegna, of Ermenegildo Zegna, to host a dinner at LA's Chateau Marmont last night. The evening was organized in support of Oxfam and the Green Carpet Challenge, a cause close to eco-friendly Livia's heart. She frequently blogs and tweets about wearing recycled ensembles on the red carpet, and yesterday's dress was a creation from one of Kate Middleton's favorite lines, Beulah London.

Livia and Colin made the rounds to chat up their fellow Brit Emily Blunt and her husband John Krasinski. The Vanity Fair crew was well represented with editor in chief Graydon Carter and his wife Anna on hand, in addition to West Coast editor Krista Smith and publisher Edward Menicheschi. Other celebs made the rounds as well, including Cameron Diaz, Kristin Davis, Mia Wasikowska, and Emile Hirsch. Gary Oldman, who's up for a best supporting actor Oscar for his work opposite Colin in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, dropped in to say hello.

London's Royal Opera House was buzzing with stars as the BAFTAs kicked off last night. Brad Pitt popped up on the UK red carpet after attending the Berlin Film Festival premiere of In the Land of Blood and Honey with Angelina Jolie on Saturday. He was up for best actor, as was his pal George Clooney, who mingled with Colin Firth and his wife, Livia Giuggioli, on their way into the show. Presenter Penelope Cruz got glamorous in red while nominees Jessica Chastain, Viola Davis, and Meryl Streep followed suit in gorgeous gowns. Michael Fassbender was back in front of the cameras following a win at yesterday's Irish Film and Television Awards in Dublin. Other guys to suit up for the event included Jon Hamm, Jonah Hill, Gary Oldman, and Jean Dujardin. Chris Hemsworth, who is up for the rising star award, also went with black-tie and posed alongside his pregnant wife, Elsa Pataky. What did you think of all the BAFTA red-carpet looks?

Brad, who wore a coat by Dolce & Gabbana over his tuxedo, didn't end up taking home BAFTA gold, since The Artist's Jean Dujardin was declared best actor. Meryl Streep added to her trophy collection with a best actress accolade for The Iron Lady. Octavia Spencer from The Help won best supporting actress, and the corresponding male honor went to Christopher Plummer for Beginners. The Artist also won best picture and best director. Whether they won or lost, many celebs were in a happy mood following the show. Meryl, Octavia, Chris, Elsa, and more went to the official afterparty, and the Weinstein Company hosted another of their famous bashes.

NBC hosted a post-Golden Globes bash last night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in LA. Best supporting actor winner Christopher Plummer made the rounds with his newly-acquired statue, and he said hello to last year's best actor champ, Colin Firth. Colin made the rounds with wife Livia, who's known for wearing green fashions on the red carpet. Yesterday, Livia was decked out in a dress made of recycled plastic bottles that had been designed by Giorgio and Roberta Armani.




Mad Men buddies Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss said hi to NBC actor Jack McBrayer, who plays Kenneth the Page on 30 Rock. Fashion Star ladies Nicole Richie and Elle Macpherson also made the rounds at the network's party. Elle seems to have made some new friends, including Chuck's Zachary Levi! Other NBC friends like Whitney cutie Chris D'Elia and Kristen Wiig, with Bridesmaids buddy Wendi McLendon-Covey, mingled as well — click through to see who turned out!

Victoria and Harper Beckham were chic for their trip to London Saturday, and Posh kept the good looks coming at tonight's British Fashion Awards at the city's Savoy Hotel. Inside the celebration, she met up with fellow designers Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, and milliner Philip Treacy. Kate Moss was also on hand, though without the company of her husband, Jamie Hince.

The elite crowd came together to recognize the year's top talent in UK fashion. A surprised Victoria took home the award for best designer brand and was gifted her first BFA statue by friend Marc Jacobs. The coveted honor of designer of the year went to Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton, who famously created Kate Middleton's wedding dress, while Stella McCartney was declared this year's red-carpet queen.

The star-studded action at the Venice Film Festival continued over the weekend with Michael Fassbender stepping back into the spotlight Sunday for a Shame photo call alongside director Steve McQueen. Michael, who was before the cameras last week showing of Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method, changed out of his jeans and flip-flops to hit the red carpet for a premiere that night. James Franco was also busy that afternoon doing press for his movie Sal with costar Val Lauren. Yesterday, Selma Blair showed her postbaby body at a photo call, where she wore a green number from Roland Mouret and premiere for Dark Horse. Colin Firth lent his glamour to the proceedings at events for Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy, and his wife Livia was on hand for a special screening. Livia blogged about the evening for Vogue UK, saying she was more nervous than usual since she wore a dress of her own design. There's more action to come from Italy this week, as the festival continues until Friday.

Cameron Diaz and Colin Firth were together in London today to shoot their remake of Gambit. She was on a break from filming in order to promote Bad Teacher in recent weeks, including a recent jaunt to Mexico for the Cancun Film Festival. She also swung through Europe twice on a press tour, including a stop at Spain's El Hormiguero. Colin, meanwhile, made the social rounds in London with his eco-activist wife, Livia, including a royal reception for the visiting Obamas and the ARK dinner with Prince William and Kate Middleton. He'll have some promoting to do ahead of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy's November release, while next up for Cameron is another stint on set making What to Expect When You're Expecting with leading ladies Brooklyn Decker and Jennifer Lopez.
