The most highly-anticipated arrival of the night was couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Jolie spoke to Ryan Seacrest about her directorial debut with In the Land of Blood and Honey. Jolie looked beautifully pristine in silken white and ruby Atelier Versace gown. Harper Bazaar's Derek Blasberg tweeted, I think Angelina Jolie just single handedly made it cool to match your bag and your lipstick to your dress again.

Supermodel and Project Runway host Heidi Klum looked ravishing in a Calvin Klein gown and turquoise Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. I really wanted something with a super sexy, elegant silhouette. I went with a custom Calvin Klein Collection bisque silk crepe sheath dress with a plunging back and paired it with a gorgeous turquoise statement necklace from Lorraine Schwartz, Klum wrote on the AOL blog. Charlize Theron, in pink Dior, and Michelle Williams both sported headbands on the red carpet. Theron's accented a side messy-bun and Williams' topped her pixie cut.

Zooey Dechanel, who is nominated for her role in FOX's New Girl, rocked a 60s-vibe in a haute couture Prada gown with sparkling lime green bodice and brown skirt. Her nails were painted with mini tuxedos and her hair was styled in a bouffant coif.

Claire Danes was a major stand-out of the night dressed in a black and white J. Mendel dress with open-back and black latticed detailing. The stunner topped her look with red lipstick and simple diamond jewels. She is nominated for Homeland.

Embodying a black widow sexiness, Rooney Mara, star of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, dressed in black Nina Ricci with mermaid skirt and front, side and back cut-outs. The plunging V-neck adds extra sensuality. The actress said that she kept some of the piercings she had to get for the film, just in a case a sequel is in the works she will not have to re-pierce anything. Mara has been one of the most sought-after actress as of late. All eyes were looking at her on the red carpet.

Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara wore a dark blue Vera Wang dress. She said that she chooses Wang regularly because they fit her so well. She was joined on stage with co-star Julie Bowen, who opted for a prim look - a blush tulle Reem Acra dress with glittering cap sleeves. I didn't even wear a gown at my wedding. So I'm having my girl moment, she told Ryan Seacrest.

Nicole Richie wore a shimmering, silver Julien Macdonald dress and House of Harlow clutch. Richie will star in the upcoming NBC series Fashion Show. Richie, who is a fashion mogul herself, is thrilled. She stars alongside Jessica Simspon. We are really like a big family. It's been a lot of fun.

George Clooney and girlfriend Stacy Keibler arrived after a romantic vacation in Cabo. Keibler went with a crimson gown with draped cowl neck and up-swept hair. Clooney looked Old Hollywood chic in a black tuxedo and bow tie. The couple said they cannot wait for the after-parties. As for their fun date night, they usually opt for dinner. We like to do sushi, said Keibler.

Adam Levine wore Tom Ford. He attended sans Victoria's Secret model girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna, who had to work.

Bridesmaids star Megan McCarthy chose a forest green Badgley Mischka dress with matching jewelry. She called her choice a one-stop shop.
