Pictures of Abbie Cornish at the 2010 Vanity Fair After Party hosted by Graydon Carter at Hollywood’s Sunset Tower from Sunday have been added to the gallery.

Abbie wore a halter-style black dress with a snazzy beaded neckline and diamonds and amethysts from Martin Katz Jewelry. She carried a black clutch and wore purple eyeline (which really brings out her stunning eyes if I say so myself.)

Reportedly She caught up with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, including her good friend and Somersault co-star Sam Worthington, Sucker Punch co-star Vanessa Hudgens and Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan as well as Best Director winner Kathryn Bigelow.

Unfortunately, Bright Star did not win Best Costume Design. That award went to The Young Victoria.

Abbie Cornish is being pursued by Madonna to take a prominent role in a film based on the abdication of Edward VIII.

The movie, W.E., tells parallel tales about Wallis Simpson in the 1930s and a contemporary woman called Wally Winthrop, who has romantic problems of her own – in addition to the fact that she’s obsessed with the Duchess of Windsor’s life.

Cornish, who starred opposite Ben Whishaw in Jane Campion’s film Bright Star, is being pursued to play the part of Wally.

Vera Farmiga is set to portray the duchess.

Abbie Cornish, Kristen Stewart, Carey Mulligan, Amanda Seyfried, Rebecca Hall, Mia Wasikowska and Emma Stone pose for the cover of Vanity Fair: Hollywood Edition. Out on stands February 9th and subscribers will be February 20, 2010.

Check out this sneak peek below.

Abbie Cornish has made her mark in edgy, unconventional films such Candy and Stop-Loss, but the 27-year-old Aussie is finding 2009 is turning into her biggest year yet. She’s already drawing raves for her work in Jane Campion’s “Bright Star” (more on that later), but she’s currently spending her days playing Sweatpea in Zack Snyder’s highly anticipated new epic “Sucker Punch.”

Cornish jumped on the phone earlier today to discuss Bright Star, but it was her enthusiasm for Punch which was most apparent. Shooting began in Vancouver last month and Cornish says Snyder’s latest is “seriously, six films in one almost.”

Well, she better get used to media days. Lots of media days. It’s almost mandatory now that journalists describe the Australian actress’s turn in Jane Campion’s acclaimed Fanny Brawne/John Keats biopic as having “Oscar buzz.” Whether that pans out or not is irrelevant – the buzz is more important than the bald guy. Oscars come and go, but you can’t buy buzz. Furthermore, her work actually warrants all the statue chat.

As the maligned and socially imprisoned Brawne, Cornish gives one of those ferocious performances that audiences love to cheer. Her Brawne is a strong, witty and determined proto-feminist, a steel buttercup who only looks like a delicate confection made from milk, butter, and spider-web icing.
