Posted on Sun Feb 22nd, 2015 6:06pm PDT       By X17 Staff



Jennifer Aniston not only looked red hot in her strapless Versace and Fred Leighton jewelry -- but her best accessory, by FAR, is fiance Justin Theroux who looked like an absolute dream date! Who could imagine anything more perfect on their arm?!

Meanwhile, new mom Scarlett Johansson wore an interesting emerald green number, with what looked like fancy kale around her neck ... is that a necklace or part of the dress? And what the heck happened to her hair? She shaved off the sides and left the long top, a la Kelly Osbourne. I guess it takes less time to style in the morning when you've got to tend to baby ...

And newcomer Dakota Johnson kept it simple and sexy in Saint Laurent -- a sleek, slinky red number, appropriate for the star of Fifty Shades of Grey.

It's always good to see celebrities using their star power for a worthy cause and that's exactly what Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes did on Saturday as they attended the 3rd annual Gold Meets Golden luncheon at the Equinox Sports Club Lounge in West L.A.

The starlets, who were also joined by other notables and Oscar nominees like Maria Shriver, Eddie Redmayne and Laura Dern, were co-hosts for the benefit that will help fund the 7,000 athletes participating in the 2015 Special Olympics World Games.

"I am inspired to join with those who want to make a difference for the 7,000 Special Olympics athletes competing in the World Games this summer,” said Shriver, who's continuing the legacy of her mother Eunice Kennedy Shriver, in a statement. “I want to thank Gold Meets Golden for helping build the awareness that leads to acceptance and inclusion for all people with intellectual disabilities.”

This will mark Kidman's second time co-hosting the event since its inception in 2013. Past hosts of the Gold Meets Golden luncheon include Keith Urban, Jon Bon Jovi, Kerry Washington, Sofia Vergara and Hayden Panettiere.

She knows how to work her wardrobe!

Miley Cyrus once again showed that she and her style choices aren't the least bit bashful as she donned a sexy black lace gown at the Tom Ford party in Hollywood last night.

Boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger, who kept things traditional with his 'fit, was also on hand for the pre-Oscar fashion show at Milk Studios. Virtually every star managed to make their way to the event if only for a moment (even J.Lo!) but the former Disney star had the most interesting outfit by far.

We're sure Patrick is probably loving it!
