Jennifer Aniston, wearing a cleavage-baring semi-sheer slip dress and her some 8-carat diamond engagement ring, and fiancé and fellow actor Justin Theroux were among several stars who walked the red carpet at the 2014 Governors Awards, a pre-Oscars event, in Hollywood on Saturday.

The two got engaged in April 2012. Aniston was recently spotted without her ring and her rep explained that the actress was having it cleaned.

Other celebrities who attended the Governors Awards included Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch, who recently got engaged himself, and his latest co-star Keira Knightley, who appears with him in the new movie The Imitation Game and married couples Mark Wahlberg and his wife Rhea Dunham, who brought their daughter Ella, and Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, who are also friends of Aniston and Theroux.

Knightley turned heads in a black, asymmetrial dress with criss cross halter straps. Both Blunt and Reese Witherspoon, an Academy Award recipient, showcased stunning pink-toned looks. Blunt wore a half-floral fuchsia gown, while the latter star channeled her Legally Blonde character Elle Woods and wore a gorgeous hot pink knee-length dress with cap sleeves.
