This Sunday's Screen Actors Guild awards party will have a new designer at the helm. Gala coordinators selected Tony Schubert's Event Eleven last fall to take over all design elements for the party—previously designed by Stanlee Gatti—including the overall decor concept, lighting, flowers, tables, and fabric design. Here's a sneak preview of Schubert's plans: custom pieces constructed out of raw alabaster and buffet tables made out of raw slabs of wood imported from South Africa.
The party, cohosted by People and the Entertainment Industry Foundation, will take to the back lot of the Shrine Exposition Center immediately following the 15th annual awards. Through the party, SAG, People, and the E.I.F. acknowledge the charitable efforts of actors and make an annual donation to the SAG Foundation. This year’s $100,000 gift will support the foundation’s scholarships and emergency assistance to SAG members and reading programs around the country. —Alesandra Dubin

The unseasonable chill in the Los Angeles air didn't daunt more than 50,000 participants who marched to benefit women with ovarian and breast cancers on Saturday. The annual pre-Mother's Day Revlon Run/Walk for Women event, put on by the Entertainment Industry Foundation, has raised nearly $50 million from combined events in Los Angeles and New York since its inception in 1993.
Revlon brand ambassadors Halle Berry and Beau Garrett joined participants, and Tom Selleck and Carrie Ann Inaba hosted the race. Opening ceremonies kicked off with performances by Jesse McCartney and Melissa Manchester and finished with tunes from the Go-Gos as participants crossed the finish line of the 5K trek at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. —Shilpa Gopinath

For People magazine's elaborate after-party following the SAG awards on Sunday, event designer Stanlee Gatti had some unfortunate weather to hassle with—although he did have Time Warner’s big corporate pockets to assuage his headache. Even before the event, cohosted by the Entertainment Industry Foundation, the week’s heavy rains had doused the carpet in the corridor leading to the main pavilion, requiring a replacement before the party even got started.
For this year’s collaboration with Cyd Wilson, director of creative development for In Style and People, and the event's executive producer, Eric Nicoll of Azure Pacific Event Management, Gatti also took his cue from the award show's celebratory palette of rich metallics and dressed the 80- by 140-foot tent in platinum gray. People Group editor Martha Nelson selected the shade.
“People talk about shades of gray, and there are so many shades of gray, it’s funny,” Gatti said. “For a couple of months, Martha Nelson and I went back and forth. We finally came up with the right shade. Now we’re calling it Martha’s gray.”
