The stars were out in full force Thursday evening at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala afterparty at Parker Palm Springs.
Leading the way was Carey Mulligan, 38, who looked sensational in an elegant dress as she posed with Palm Springs Mayor Jeffrey Bernstein at the bash.
She smiled as she waved her trophy from her International Star Award win for biographical romantic drama Maestro, released last year.
Other stars at the party included Danielle Brooks, William Belleau and Tatanka Means, who beamed as they posed up a storm at the party, while singer Billie Eilish posed with her co-writer Finneas.
Danielle, 34, opted to move away from her red carpet look after wearing a white suit with nothing underneath as she hit the red carpet before slipping into a black dress with the same white blazer over it.

Carey's dress featured a unique silhouette that consisted of a black shrug and a tapered floor-length skirt with a flirty peplum waist and a gold zipper in the back.
Underneath her short, short-sleeved jacket was a sexy purple satin bustier. Carey – married to Marcus Mumford of the folk band Mumford & Sons – stood on high black patent leather heels.
Elsewhere, Danielle was honored with the Spotlight Award at the awards ceremony for her work in the musical adaptation of The Color Purple.
She stars as Sofia in the coming-of-age drama that also stars Taraji P. Henson, Colman Domingo, Corey Hawkins, HER, Halle Bailey and Fantasia Barrino.
Canadian actress Tantoo Cardinal, who starred in last year's Killers of the Flower Moon, wowed in a lace dress as she posed with Colman Domingo.

Ahead of the party, Carey mingled on the red carpet with Oscar winner Meryl Streep, 74. The duo both starred in the 2015 historical drama Suffragette starring Helena Bonham Carter and Brendan Gleeson.
Carey is up for a Golden Globe this year at Sunday's ceremony, having been nominated for 'Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama' for her role in Bradley Cooper's Maestro.
The biographical drama film follows the long-term relationship between conductor-composer Leonard Bernstein and actress Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein.
The film was directed by Bradley, who also plays Leonard, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Josh Singer, and stars Carey as Felicia.
The actress has received rave reviews from critics and viewers for her performance after it premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September.
The film was released on Netflix two weeks ago, following a limited theatrical run in November.

In addition to the Best Actress award, Maestro is also nominated for Best Film – Drama, Best Director and Best Actor at the 2024 Golden Globes.
Many have labeled the film as 'Oscar bait' and condemned Bradley as so 'shameless' in his obvious 'desire for that Oscar' that it negatively affects the film.
Maestro was met with controversy even before its release, after being accused of being 'Jewface'.
Bradley's makeup, which included a prosthetic nose to portray the Jewish icon, drew fierce criticism from some prominent members of the Jewish community.
But Bernstein's three children – Jamie Bernstein, Alexander Bernstein and Nina Maria Felicia Bernstein – praised the transformation, calling it “perfect.”
