(LOS ANGELES) Amidst a frantic Emmy weekend jam-packed with lavish parties and head-to-toe pampering, a bevy of supporters including Rose McGowan, Topher Grace, Cat Deeley, David Arquette, and Raven Symone among others, stepped out on Saturday night to support the Art of Elysium’s second annual Genesis event. The star-studded bash celebrated emerging creative talent as well as actors and artists who dedicate their time to children battling serious medical conditions.

“I’ve been working with babies and children at the Van Nuys Hospice for about three years now through the Art of Elysium and it’s amazing,” shared McGowan, posing in an emerald green Reem Acra dress that she modified to give a personal twist. “Oh, I’m loving my sparkly shoes tonight, too," she added. "They’re Brian Atwoods that were specially designed for me!”

Speaking of sparkle, Padma Lakshmi flaunted a few pieces of jewelry from her own line that packed considerable glamour. “I’ve been doing jewelry for about a year and a half and we’ve been getting great reviews. Most of my pieces are a few thousand dollars; but for example, my pinkie ring is just a few hundred dollars, and it’s one of my favorite pieces,” the Top Chef host explained. She revealed, “I’ll be wearing a massive necklace from my line on the red carpet [at the Emmys]. I have no idea what dress I’ll wear, but I promise it will be comfortable and easy!”

Erin Fetherston breezed into the party, relishing her time in Los Angeles before New York Fashion Week fast approaches. “It’s so nice to be in L.A. right now…I’m consulting for Juicy Couture and have a capsule collection for holiday that I’m debuting, so I’ll be here for about a week,” the designer noted. “Everything’s coming along great!” she said cheerily.

Inside the party, guests were tantalized by live music performances, an online auction, and an original video art installation, but Jessica Lowndes couldn’t contain her excitement for the Paige Premium Denim jean bar, where ladies could choose between Verdugo jeggings or Lou Lou flares to take home. “I wear Paige jeans all of the time. I’ve been photographed in that store way too many times!” the petite actress laughed. “Remember when they had the OPI nail polish for Paige that matched the jeans…I mean what could be better?”
