Katy Perry and Allison Williams Pair Up For a Walk With Their Guys

John Mayer and Katy Perry met up with Allison Williams and her boyfriend, CollegeHumor CEO Ricky Van Veen, for an afternoon hike in the Hollywood Hills last week.

John Mayer and Katy Perry met up with Allison Williams and her boyfriend, CollegeHumor CEO Ricky Van Veen, for an afternoon hike in the Hollywood Hills last week. The foursome chatted and laughed as they walked along the trail. Katy and Allison have been pals for a while and attended the Grammys together last month. Allison's award-season run, which also included a Golden Globes win for Girls, continued with a stop by Vanity Fair's Oscars afterparty. She's since stayed in the spotlight while promoting the second season of Girls, which is currently airing new episodes. Allison chatted with Boston Common magazine about feeling pressure to succeed, saying, "It never, ever came from my family. . . . It came from my own ambition. It came from Greenwich Academy, these people around me — these high-achieving, highly intelligent people. But the people I really admired were [those] who realized they were not perfect. Perfection is exhausting."

Grammy Awards: Best Dressed

When celebrities come dressed for the Grammys, pretty much anything goes — but this particular set erred on the side of ultraglam and impeccably chic.

When celebrities come dressed for the Grammys, pretty much anything goes — but this particular set erred on the side of ultraglam and impeccably chic. Beyoncé traded in her sexier Super Bowl fare for a polished black-and-white jumpsuit from Osman by Osman Yousefzada, and Girls' Allison Williams quite literally shimmered on the red carpet in a black, diamond-encrusted Kaufman Franco column gown. We were also pleasantly surprised to see Rihanna embrace a softer — but still jaw-dropping — look in a brilliant red Azzedine Alaïa gown, while Taylor Swift showed off a modern take on the Grecian-goddess look in a creamy J. Mendel confection. Click through for all the details on tonight's best-dressed contenders — then be sure to cast your vote!

Allison Williams Would Love to Be "Best Friends" With Kate Middleton

Girls star Allison Williams — who has been busy guest starring on The Mindy Project and being the spokesperson for Simple Skincare — is best known for her role as Hannah's uptight friend Marnie on the award-winning show.

Girls star Allison Williams — who has been busy guest starring on The Mindy Project and being the spokesperson for Simple Skincare — is best known for her role as Hannah's uptight friend Marnie on the award-winning show. But did you know she's also portrayed our favorite perfectly coiffed princess, Kate Middleton? Prior to Girls, the actress played Kate in a hilarious series of Funny or Die videos that she also wrote called Will & Kate: Before Happily Ever After. We asked Allison if she thought she'd get along with the Duchess of Cambridge. Here's what she told us:

Oh my god, I hope so! I would love to think that we would get along really well. In my head we'd be best friends. In reality she would probably think I was a starstruck American. But I would love to meet her. I think she's outstandingly composed. I think she's intelligent and well-spoken, and she seems really cool. I'd love to spend an afternoon when she has a day off just hanging out.

It would truly be a beautiful friendship, don't you think?
