The Oscars party circuit is still on fire in Hollywood leading up to tomorrow’s big festivities! Co-stars reunited when best leading actress nominee Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) and Viola Davis paused for a snap at the Sixth Annual Women in Film pre-Oscars reception, held at Fig & Olive in Los Angeles and hosted by their fellow co-star and Academy Award winner, Octavia Spencer. (The group starred together in last year’s tearjerker The Help). Meanwhile, new parents and True Blood co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer coordinated their navy blue outfits at the Great British Film Reception, which was held at the home of the British Consul, General Dame Barbara Hay.

Beautiful Creatures is now open in theaters, and it’s a story that will have you focused just as much on the costuming as the romance at the center of the plot. Why? Because, while the film tells the love story between Lena (Alice Englert) and Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich), Emmy Rossum’s character Ridley Duchannes adds a stylish element to the dynamic—on purpose—with Victorian goth-like costumes created by costume designer Jeffrey Kurland. “A lot of who my character is, is her ability to manipulate people in the way she looks,” Rossum told InStyle.com at the New York premiere. “She dresses up and channels different old Hollywood movie stars like Marilyn Monroe in River of No Return or Rita Hayworth in Gilda. So, there are a lot of big moments that are carbon copies of the way the actresses looked in those films.” And she loved it! “It was really fun to re-create. It was definitely very different than anything else I’ve ever played before,” Rossum said.

“Every woman looks good in red,” All My Children alum Leven Rambin told InStyle.com at our annual Summer Soiree in Beverly Hills this week. The star of the upcoming Chasing Mavericks movie is particularly fond of the color, as she wore a sparkling crimson design by Chagoury Couture to the Los Angeles premiere of The Hunger Games (fittingly, she was Glimmer in the movie). Click through the gallery to see more stars—Jennifer Lopez, Gabrielle Union, and Viola Davis included—in the hue. Then, tell us: Do you agree with her philosophy?
