Gwen Stefani

(in Zuhair Murad) cuddled up with the men of the evening, David Furnish and Sir Elton John at their 20th annual post-Oscars bash. Although the couple weighed in on each other's outfits, they went their own way fashion-wise. "He went and got his own Tom Ford," said Sir Elton of his husband's look. "This is by Alex Couture of Beverly Hills. And it's got my name on the back. I want to be a little glitzy because we've got Adam Lambert coming. We've got Katy Perry. So I wanted to try and wear something a little sparkly."
