“Black-ish” co-stars Yara Shahidi and Tracee Ellis Ross
Stepping away from the family-style tables at AOC in West Hollywood, the co-stars took photography duties in to their own hands.
“Westworld” star Angela Sarafyan and YouTuber Amanda Steele
Steele may be better known as “Makeup by Mandy” with 2.9 million subscribers to her YouTube channel. 23,000 of her 2.7 million Instagram followers liked this photo within hours of the lunch.
Lynn Hirschberg, the W Magazine Editor at Large, who handpicks the guests and hosts this event with Stuart Weitzman, bases the annual Golden Globes weekend luncheon on the Interview magazine “It Girl” feature profiles of real women that were Hirschberg’s obsession when she was 9 years old.
“I dreamed of being an It Girl and it never happened sadly, but I got something better,” she told TheWrap. “I now get to pick all the It Girls.”
Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn
These two models are so tall, it took some pixel gymnastics to fit them in TheWrap’s photo template for this gallery. #Truth
Stacey Sher
The powerhouse producer behind Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction,” “Django Unchained,” and “The Hateful Eight” as well as “Erin Brockovich” is now the co-president of Activision Blizzard Studios.
Lynn Hirschberg and Emilia Clarke
Clarke’s “Game of Thrones” is duking it out with “The Crown,” “Stranger Things,” “This Is Us,” and “Westworld” for Best TV Drama at the Globes.
Cleopatra Coleman
“The Last Man on Earth” star has a sense of humor.
W printed the placecards on both sides to provide virtual nametags and keep the conversations rippling. It was the kind of room where even TV stars introduced themselves to each other with “I’m on this show called….”
“It Girls” (and party columnists) eat like this: artichoke focaccia and farmer’s plates.
Kathryn Newton and Amara Karan
HBO buddies alert: The “Big Little Lies” actress (Newton) and “The Night Of” star (Karan) both have high profile series on the home of prestige dramas .
Yara Shahidi, Aja Naomi King, and Jurnee Smollett-Bell
Chanel Iman and Susan Duffy

Lily Collins, Thandie Newton, and Angela Sarafyan
Collins could be on stage at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday night, nominated for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for the Warren Beatty film “Rules Don’t Apply.” It’s a brutal category with Meryl Streep, Emma Stone, and Annette Bening also in the running.
The intimate lunch for about 60 people brough together people from film, TV, fashion, and someone with a heel in all three: Mandy Moore (in the blue and black dress — not white and gold).
Christina Ricci, Stefano Tonchi, and Tracee Ellis Ross
W Editor-in-Chief Tonchi has been a party captain of the weekend after Thursday night’s bash with Barbra Streisand at the Chateau.
Edward Enninful and Jurnee Smollet-Bell

Elvy Yost and Anna Baryshnikov
Elvy works in Shondland, co-starring on the ABC series “The Catch” and has a movie with Tom Hanks this year.
An under-reported story of awards season is that Baryshnikov, who plays “Sandy” in “Manchester By the Sea,” is the daughter of famed dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov.
Christina Ricci, Zoey Deutch, and Zhu Zhu
This grouping made a unique trio with Ricci in her second round as an “It Girl” after her first bloom in the late ’90s with “The Ice Storm” and “The Opposite of Sex,” Deutch (who stars in a J.D. Salinger biopic later this year), and Zhu, a former MTV China VJ and fashion icon.
In true “It Girl” style, Ricci would change outfits before hitting the BAFTA Tea Party.
That’s a wrap. On to the next one…
