London A-Listers Turn Out for VF's Photo Exhibit

Vanity Fair may have nixed its Oscar shindig this year, but that doesn't mean the glossy is out of the party-planning business altogether. On Monday night, the magazine partnered with Burberry to host a posh little fête at London's National Portrait Gallery in celebration of the new exhibit Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008, which showcases work by photographers from Cecil Beaton to Bruce Weber. "This is a lot more relaxing than the Oscar party," said VF editor in chief Graydon Carter, when asked to draw comparisons. But just as star-stuffed: Filling the museum's prestigious halls were Annie Lennox, Cuba Gooding Jr., Lily Allen, Bryan Ferry, and Emma Watson. "I used to come here as a kid," said the Harry Potter beauty. Given that Watson only turns 18 this spring, some of the same exhibits are probably still up.
