Liam Payne, Maya Henry and Lady Gaga shine at Elton John's annual Oscars party

A grinning Liam Payne and fiancée Maya Henry were among the stars at Elton John's annual Oscars party.

The singer, 28, looked suave in a dark suit while Maya, 22, dazzled in a light pink and jewelled dress at Elton John's AIDS Foundation's 30th Annual Academy Awards viewing party in West Hollywood on Sunday.

Lady Gaga, who was snubbed by the Oscars for her role in The House of Gucci, channelled Hollywood glamour as she wore a tulle white gown with diamond jewellery.

The actress, 36, matched the dress with striking red lipstick, and wore her hair in an intricate up-do, as she walked the red carpet with Elton's husband David Furnish, and the pair's two young sons.

For the first time in the event's 30 year history, Elton was forced to miss his party, as the date clashed with his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.

David, 59, who stepped up to host the event, looked dapper in a black suit with a crystal butterfly pin.

Other stars who attended the bash were Star Trek and Wonder Woman actor Chris Pine, actress Erika Christensen and That's so Raven star Raven Symone with her wife Miranda Miday.

The former Disney Channel starlet wore a dramatic all-black ensemble, which featured a cape, while Miranda donned a daring mesh dress and black underwear.

Casey Affleck, who won an Oscar for Best Actor in 2016's Manchester By the Sea, walked the red carpet with his wife and fellow actor Summer Pheonix, who wore a striking green beaded gown.

After his appearance at Elton John's viewing party, Liam left Good Morning Britain viewers baffled by his accent as they tuned into the ITV show this morning.

The breakfast programme was dominated by the 2022 Oscars and the shocking moment which saw Will Smith slap comedian Chris Rock for a joke he made about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Will, 53, who later won the award for Best Actor, stormed the stage and physically attacked Chris, 57, after he appeared to mock Jada's hair.

Speaking to GMB, Liam said: "Will Smith actually used to live behind my house. I've had the pleasure of knowing his son and daughter very well.

"I believe that he felt whatever he did, he had the right to do. I also felt there were three losers in one fight. He didn't know, being Chris Rock, he didn't do what he had to do, being Will Smith, and she did nothing, being Jada."

He went on to describe the incident as "very sad", but said he would "rather take the beauty out of the situation than take the pain."

However, viewers tuning it at home were more interested in Liam's accent as opposed to his comments about Will.

"I thought Liam Payne was English...his accent ...#GMB," one person posted.

Another asked: "why is Liam paynes accent some sort of American Irish ?! #gmb (sic)."
