CELEBRITIES from around the world came together for the One World: Together At Home concert, organised by Lady Gaga, this weekend.

Highlights of the concert are being shown tonight, on BBC1, but the full eight hour version saw stars including the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, and Elton John coming together to send a message of support to healthcare workers fighting the coronavirus.

And as well as providing the planet with some much-needed musical healing, the online gig gave us a rare glimpse into the fabulous homes of A-list stars.

From Oprah Winfrey's simple chic lounge to Jimmy Fallon's log cabin look, the backdrops displayed on the online sets were just as weird and wonderful as we'd hoped.

Here are our favourites...

Singer Jessie J belted out some of her greatest hits, including Bang Bang, from her Los Angeles home.

But fans were distracted by her huge, living room and stark white decor, with inset ceiling lights - asking if she actually lived a hotel lobby.

One viewer Tweeted: "Guys, is this Jessie J's house or a hotel reception? Look how much light."

A second said: "Damn Jessie J just went #PitchPerfect on everyone. Her house also looks like a Marriott lobby."

That house really IS about the Price Tag.

The prize for the most bonkers home of the night went to Jimmy Fallon, whose enchanting New York pad looks like it was designed for a big kid.

The US chat show host's log cabin-inspired home was decked out entirely with wood and featured fantastical looking pillars and beams.

But viewers were bowled over by the indoor slide, running parallel to the staircase, that daughters Frances, five, and Winnie, six, must make good use of.

Twitter user Lady Nikki marvelled: "Ok @jimmyfallon has a slide in his house, thats legit goals. Rich people THATS how you spend your money properly."

Jennifer Lopez is used to lighting up a room, but on Saturday she took her lights outdoors.

The Jenny From The Block singer, who sang Barbra Streisand's classic People, appeared to live in an enchanted forest as she sat at the base of a twisted tree wrapped in hundreds of lights.

The 50-year-old star added to the magical mood with a couple of chunky candles.

John Legend has won an award or two - and he wants everyone to know it.

The All of Me star performed at the piano in front of a shelf full of gongs, including four Grammys and a Golden Globe, which he won in 2015 for the song Glory.

The ego-massaging display wasn't all we got to see of the spacious Los Angeles home he shares with wife Chrissy Teigen.

The pair were also filmed on their creamy white couch, backed by a shelf full of books including one titled Understanding The World.

Chat show queen Oprah seemed proud of her living space - giving viewers the widest shot on camera - and so she should be.

The stunning white decor in her Chicago home gives it a light airy feeling and the deep mahogany desk perfectly matches the wooden trim of the chairs.

Even her books fit the ordered decor - colour-coded for their matching cream and white spines and organised in neat blocks that would make Mrs Hinch proud.

Tidy house, tidy mind must be Oprah's motto.

Leigh-Anne's style lives up to Little Mix's name, as it appears to be inspired by a cocktail bar.

The 28-year-old star was joined by her bandmates for a long distance version of their hit Touch, and showed off a glittering backdrop of glass shelves and mirrors, dotted with fancy looking bottles, glasses and jars at her Surrey mansion.

Behind her, above a marble fireplace, were framed gold and platinum discs earned by the band.

Matthew McConaughey is famously down-to-earth and laid back - so why would he bother tidying up before sending his message of peace and love to the world?

The Mad Mike star was broadcasting from the less than glamorous setting of his office, in his Texas mansion with a stuffed bookcase in the background.

A printer and stationary were visible on the side along with a little statue of a cherub.

No sign of those bongos that got him into trouble 20 years ago - when he was arrested for playing them naked.

Taylor Swift didn't show of much of her stylish New York apartment during her performance of her moving ballad Soon You'll Get Better.

But the water lily wallpaper caught the eye of her fans.

Perhaps the 30-year-old singer was trying to bring a little bit of the countryside into her 17 million city pad.

15

Rocketman legend Elton moved his grand piano to the garden of his luxury home in Beverly Hills, bought for 26.5 million in 2015, to knock out I'm Still Standing for his fans.

Husband David Furnish acted as sound producer and cameraman for the 73-year-old's performance.

But viewers were quick to notice a basketball hoop and two basketballs lying on the ground - suggesting the pair have been using lockdown to shoot a few hoops with sons Zachary, eight, and Elijah, six.

15

Ellen recently compared lockdown to 'being in prison' but, if the backdrop here is anything to go by, her garden beats any exercise yard in the world.

Oh, and the 19.5m mansion is also right on the beach in Montecito, California.

The 62-year-old chat show host sat in a vast sitting room to give her message on the coronavirus to the nation, but the view out the full length windows was pretty impressive.

She even brought one of the trees inside, in a huge stone pot.

At the other end of the scale, Charlie Puth had the most relatable lockdown surroundings - performing in a messy bedroom with an unmade bed.

The 28-year-old singer is living at his parents' LA home during the coronavirus crisis and contributed a moving rendition of See You Again from his bedroom.

But fans were quick to notice his faux pas with one tweeting: "Shoutout to #CharliePuth for an extraordinary performance #TogetherAtHome (whispers) couldve made your bed though, just sayin."

Whatever the setting - from Oprah's million dollar mansion to Charlie's boy bedroom - the stars proved we are all in this together by pulling off the long distance concert and providing hours of entertainment.

Plus a great snoop inside some very impressive homes.
