Anne Hathaway, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Rachel Zoe and hubby Rodger Berman, Michael B. Jordan and Lily Collins attended the Chanel and Charles Finch Pre-Oscar Dinner.

The A-list crowd was greeted with a full mariachi band as they walked down the stairs into Madeo restaurant, a source tells E! News. Guests were treated to an array of delicious appetizers, including baby pizzas, olives, puff pastries with anchovies, a refreshing cucumber beverage and of course, champagne.

The Les Misérables winner looked chic in a Salvatore Ferragamo LBD and held hands with her hubby Adam Shulman as they navigated their way around the restaurant.

Guests wore lots of black in fur and leather variations and some wore touches of white, the source added. There were also many conversations about the rainy weather and how it is a "real bummer" the forecast isn't sunny for the big day.

Newly single John Mayer arrived solo at the Grey Goose pre-Oscar bash hosted by Michael Sugar, Warren Zavala, Mark Webb and Doug Wald.

"John stayed away from cameras, sort of moped around," a source tells E! News exclusively. The crooner was also spotted drinking a vodka tonic and hanging out with Anna Faris.

Zooey Deschanel drank red wine and danced around with friends, while Kellan Lutz was in "good spirits and surrounded by girls."

The star-studded crowd also included Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Adam Scott.
