Guests filed into Boa Steakhouse in Los Angeles at 4:30 p.m. to take their seat at InStyle’s Oscars viewing party last night, where they caught the red carpet and awards show on the giant big-screen TVs scattered around the room. Allison Janney (in David Meister), Ahna O’Reilly (in Randi Rahm), and Chris Lowell of The Help huddled together on one of the restaurant’s many leather couches, and clapped with joy as co-star Octavia Spencer won her Best Supporting Actress Award. “That hit me in my heart,” Allison Janney (in David Meister) told InStyle.com. “We were all crying over here because she is one of the most glorious people on the planet, and I’ve loved her for a long time. It’s surreal to see someone who was in the trenches doing what she loves and have this happen for her.” See more stars who watched the Oscars with InStyle in the gallery!

Oscars 2012 Makeup: How to Get Michelle Williams’s Peony Pink Lipstick

Feb 27, 2012 @ 10:20 am

Best Actress nominee Michelle Williams paired her burnt orange Louis Vuitton dress with a perfect peony-toned lipstick. “My inspiration was a flower!” Chanel makeup artist Angela Levin told us of creating Williams’s look. “Michelle looked so gorgeous and delicate in her dress, it made me think of a rose I have in my garden in that very same color.” Levin blended Chanel Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Paradis, a French rose color, and Destinee, an amaranth tone, together to create the unique lipstick shade. “She was like a flower in a beautiful garden,” Levin adds. Find the hues for $32.50 each at chanel.com.
