Rising star Jessica Chastain receives an ovation on discovering she's an Oscar nominee. Cheers broke out at the Armani Prive show in Paris when the phone call came from across the Atlantic. Seated between Cameron Diaz and Colin Firth's wife Livia Giuggioli, The Help star, who is up for best supporting actress, could hardly contain her emotions.
Cameron congratulated the jubilant starlet with a warm hug. And Livia tweeted a photo of herself with Jessica on her Twitter page. The accompanying caption read: “Super congrats #JessicaChastain sitting next to me #Armani and just heard about her #Oscars nominations!” Armani is, no doubt, in pole position to dress her for the prestigious awards ceremony. If that's the case, it looks like she will be wearing green.
Giorgio Armani seems to be on a mission to turn the red carpet green as he presented an autumnal palette consisting of ivy, mint and lime. With crystal and sequin-adorned metallic ballgowns, serpentine headpieces and Gaga-esque shoulder details, it was over the top, playful and very couture.
