The 22-year-old beauty, who is the favourite to win the Academy Award for her role in smash hit Silver Linings Playbook, relaxed at the Weinstein party on Saturday night sandwiched in between her co-star Bradley Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio.
And as she left the prestigious party in Hollywood, the young actress responded to a flurry of good luck wishes from onlookers, beaming as she told MailOnline: 'I'll lie back and think of England!'

Unbeatable trio: (L-R) Actors Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, and Chris Tucker celebrate before their big night at the Oscars
With just hours to go before she was due on the red carpet, Jennifer joined Bradley and Leo, both 38, at Soho House in West Hollywood at the party thrown by uber-producer Harvey Weinstein.
Amid the twinkling fairy lights with LA sprawled out below them, Jennifer was the luckiest girl in the room as she stood with her hand resting on Bradley's shoulder - as the trio stuck closely to each other for the evening.
Bradley - who is nominated for Best Actor for his role in Silver Linings Playbook as Bipolar teacher Pat Solitano - last month shrugged off any idea of romance with his co-star, saying: 'No, no, no, no, no. Not even close. First of all, I could be her father. No, I'm kidding. But no, not even close.
'We've done two movies together. If it didn't happen by now, it's not going to happen.'

And the couple are going to join forces yet again in Silver Linings director David O. Russell's new film, currently known as American Bulls**t, which follows a group of U.S. congressmen who were killed in real-life 70s FBI sting Abscam and will star Christian Bale.
Joining Jennifer, Bradley and Leo was stunning actress Zoe Kravitz, daughter of rocker Lenny, who arrived with her mum, actress Lisa Bonet.
The petite rising star, who is dating former Gossp Girl actor Penn Badgley, was seen swapping numbers with Bradley as everyone chatted.
Zoe, of course, knows Jennifer well as they both starred in X Men: First Class in 2011.
Gorgeous: Silver Linings star Julia Stiles wore a classically elegant black dress
Harvey Weinstein held his annual pre-Oscars party at Soho House in West Hollywood - and it was attended by the cast of a bevvy of big names, including Django Unchained director Quentin Tarantino, Django stars Jamie Fox and Kerry Washington, as well as and Silver Linings co-star Julia Stiles.
Earlier that day, Jennifer picked up the award for Best Female Lead at the Independent Spirit Awards for her role as grieving young widow Tiffany Maxwell.
And leaving just after midnight - not before giving Leo a hug after he demanded a kiss goodbye - Jennifer was ushered out by security guards.
The Inception star's exit was decidedly less hurried as he playfully flirted with a gaggle of models - finishing the night with a little good-humored jig in the parking lot after the event.
But Jennifer was not alone in her fried nerves as her stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe, tweeted at midnight: 'Night before Oscars anxiety..sleep? #NOT HAPPENING.. xoRZ'

Meanwhile, the Weinstein Co. is already stocking up for awards season 2014, acquiring the rights to the Nelson Mandela biopic "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" starring Brit actor Idris Elba.
Harvey, 60, said: 'I am extremely passionate about 'Long Walk to Freedom.
'Anant Singh first gave the book to me when the first edition came out. We have been talking about making this film since 1999. There have been a number of stop and goes, but sometimes things work out for a reason, and Anant Singh has done a masterful job in producing this epic story of our times.'
