LOS ANGELES — Hollywood took its collective gaze off itself and shifted it to fashion Friday night as designer and director Tom Ford staged an eye-popping show rivaled by the starry makeup of the audience. In a display of celebrity that gave a hint at what is to come on Sunday's Oscar red carpet, the staging of Ford's autumn/winter womenswear collection drew superstars from every genre: There was Beyonce and Jay Z, Jennifer Lopez, Anna Wintour, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, Elton John, Aaron Rogers with girlfriend Olivia Munn, Magic Johnson, Naomi Campbell . and that was just for starters. Ford, a fashion titan who made his directorial debut in 2009 with the film "A Single Man," hadn't done a show in Los Angeles before; he normally shows in London during their fashion week but decided to present in the city he calls home. — AP
