Forget Emily In Paris, Lily in Los Angeles was all we could think about this weekend. Lily Collins turned heads at the 9th annual Breakthrough Prize Awards Ceremony, and though she eschewed Emily Cooper’s signature maximalist dress code, her daring plunge neck dress was certified Parisian chic.

Supermodel Miranda Kerr also got the ultra elegance memo, wearing a figure-hugging black gown from Zuhair Murad complete with a busty off the shoulder, sweetheart neckline. She paired the dress with a tennis necklace from Rahaminov diamonds, a sleek updo and an eye-catching scarlett red lip.
