By JILL PAUL

Sienna Miller upped the glamour stakes in Hollywood ahead of Sunday's Oscars ceremony as she and other stars were spotted at a charity event - in an array of revealing dresses.
Wearing a flowing low-cut and strapless pink gown, the actress posed for the paparazzi at the Montblanc Signature For Good charity party held at legendary Paramount Studios on Friday.
Other celebrities at the event were Eva Longoria, Reese Witherspoon, Marcia Cross, Milla Jovovich, Dita Von Teese and Emily Blunt.

Desperate Housewives actress Eva looked stunning in another strapless floor-length dress with black embroidered detail around the waist - while her co-star Marcia wore a gorgeous silver floor-length dress.
And burlesque star Dita wore a silk chiffon gown with a plunging neckline.

The charity raised money for Unicef's fight against illiteracy. Guests enjoyed dinner by Hollywood celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck and entertainment by a swing band.

The Oscars mean parties - lots of parties - but in the midst of a recession, many are expected to be scaled down.
Vanity Fair's annual bash at the Sunset Tower Hotel will be a hot ticket after last year's event was cancelled due to the Writers' Guild of America strike.
Editor Graydon Carter said: 'The party will be a much more intimate affair than in years past; we’re going to scale back the guest list considerably.
'We’ll celebrate Hollywood’s big night the way we did when we first threw the party 15 years ago - it will be a cosier, more understated event,' he added.

Pop star Prince will be hosting another bash at his Beverly Hills residence.
Last year, he jammed with Stevie Wonder.
