Jennifer Lopez dazzled in gold as she joined the likes of Paris Jackson and Anna Kendrick at the star-studded CAA pre-Oscars party at The Living Room in Los Angeles on Friday.

The actress and singer, 55, showcased her curves in a stunning metallic knitted gown which perfectly showcased her hourglass figure.

Jennifer added a coordinating clutch bag to her look, while she was earlier seen draping a dramatic fur coat over her shoulders.

The beauty looked in great spirits at the bash, at one point posing alongside her Monster-In-Law co-star Jane Fonda, 87. 

Meanwhile, Paris Jackson, 26, cut a stylish figure in a sleek leopard print dress as she was seen sneaking into the event.

The daughter of pop legend Michael accessorised her ensemble with a smart black handbag, while leaving her blonde locks to cascade over her shoulders in soft waves.

Elsewhere, Anna Kendrick, 39, opted for chic, wide-legged tan trousers for the evening, teaming this with a black top and black leather jacket.

The Pitch Perfect star boosted her height with black heels and finished off her elegant look with delicate gold necklaces. 

The ladies were in good company as they joined a host of other famous names at the party ahead of the glittering 97th Academy Awards ceremony, which will be held on Sunday at Hollywood’s Dolby Theater.

Will.I.Am was seen sporting a casual ensemble at the event, while Samuel L. Jackson happily mingled with his fellow thespians. 

Adrien Brody, who is up for the Best Actor gong for his role in The Brutalist looked on fine form as he posed alongside his stunning girlfriend Georgina Chapman.

While fellow Best Actor nominee Sebastian Stan looked dapper in a simple black blazer and trousers combo.

Elsewhere, Channing Tatum went public with his new Aussie model girlfriend Inka Williams, four months after splitting from fiancée Zoe Kravitz. 

The biggest night in film is just days away, with Hollywood’s finest set to descend upon Dolby Theatre on Sunday night for the 97th edition of the Academy Awards .

Conan O’Brien is set to host the Oscars for the first time as he takes over the reins from Jimmy Kimmel after a four year run.

There could still be some twists and turns after Mikey Madison’s shock win over Demi Moore at the BAFTAs leaving it uncertain whether the 62-year-old will finally have her Oscar moment.

Anora and Adrien Brody’s movie The Brutalist seem primed to share the spotlight at the 97th Academy Awards with both films favoured in BetMGM’s markets across six categories.

PR expert Lynn Carrattfrom Sportsbook Review revealed the winners seem fairly predictable as she explained: ‘Following on from the Baftas, we can probably predict who is likely to be the big winners on the night for this year’s Academy Awards – last year, with visual effects being the exception, every Bafta winner went on to then win the Oscar.

‘In the main award categories, I can see the winners panning out in the same way.’

The annual ceremony will see Wicked, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Perez, Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys and The Substance battle it out for Best Picture.

However it is romantic and dramatic comedy Anora that is the 1/2 favourite to bring home the award, with The Brutalist sitting back with odds of 6/1 according to BetMGM.

Spokesperson for online betting site Grosvenor Sport Simon Kew added: ‘Conclave remains a strong contender at 11/4, while The Brutalist at 6/1 could still shake things up. 

‘However, for those looking for an underdog story, A Complete Unknown at 50/1 or even Emilia Perez and Wicked at 66/1 might hold some surprise value.’

‘Meanwhile, Dune: Part Two, I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys and The Substance are our 100/1 longshots.’

Adrien Brody is the clear favourite to take home Best Actor, with his odds at 2/5 as PR expert Lynn revealed: ‘Brody is looking unbeatable’. 

The star previously won Best Actor in 2003 for The Pianist, becoming the youngest-ever winner in the category at just 29.

However Timothée Chalamet is also a strong challenger at 8/5 for A Complete Unknown following his shock win at the BAFTAs earlier this month. 

Demi Moore is the overwhelming favourite for Best Actress at 2/5 for her performance in The Substance, marking a potential career-defining moment. 

It is already proving a successful awards season for Demi after she received the Best Actress award at both the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards last weekend. 

Gushing in her speech, the 62-year-old revealed she felt she had defied the odds after a director previously branded her a ‘popcorn actress’ 30 years ago.

However Demi missed out at the BAFTAs to Anora star Mikey Madison who landed a surprise win at the prestigious ceremony.

The masterminds behind the incredible films at this year’s ceremony will also battle it out for the most prestigious award in film at the weekend. 

Anora’s Sean Baker is leading the way to win Best Director at 8/15 with BetMGM. 

The Brutalist’s Brady Corbet took the honour at the BAFTAs after a very successful night for the film after four wins. 

Also nominated is James Mangold for A Complete Unknown, Sean Baker for Anora, Jacques Audiard for Emilia Pérez and Coralie Fargeat for The Substance.
