Angelina Jolie, Ariana Grande and Nicole Kidman led the glamour parade at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards this week.
All three of them have headlined buzzy new movies over the past year, and lent their superstar dazzle to the evening’s festivities.
For one of her first red carpets since finalizing her divorce from Brad Pitt, Angelina looked every inch the sizzling femme fatale in a slinky black gown.
She opted for a sleek, gleaming ensemble that elegantly framed her enviably willowy physique as she posed up a storm for the cameras.
Wearing her light hair down and sported a touch of youthful fringe, she sharpened her unmistakable features with makeup including nude lipstick.
The 49-year-old is receiving the Desert Palm Achievement Award for an actress courtesy her role as Maria Callas in the Netflix biopic Maria.

Nicole brought a touch of oceanic flair to the proceedings, modeling a structured top with a gleaming blue and silver fish scale motif.
In keeping with the theme of the outfit, she slipped into a deep blue gown that glinted under the lights and featured a flowing train.

Ariana, meanwhile, swept her hair into a tight little updo and modeled a poufy white dress that would not have been out of place on her Wicked character Galinda.
Fresh off the thunderous success of Wicked: Part One in theaters, Ariana was being honored that night with the Rising Star Award.
She could be seen mingling on the red carpet with the movie’s director Jon M. Chu, who opted for a black suit and shirt with wine-colored shoes.

Wicked lead Cynthia Erivo – who stars as the green girl Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch Of The West – struck a commanding pose on the red carpet.

Her outfit consisted of a three-piece suit with a see-through shirt underneath the vest – although the top did feature a solid off-white collar and matching tie.
Zoe Saldana, another one of the stars of Emilia Perez, strutted her stuff in a backless dress that featured a dazzling sequined hem.
Mikey Madison, recipient of the Breakthrough Performance Award for Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or winner Anora, made a splash in a baby pink gown.
