An array of dazzling stars were out in force at the AFI Awards in Los Angeles on Friday. 

Ariana Grande, 32, was the belle of the ball as she arrived to the event, held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, in a romantic blush pink strapless lace gown that highlighted her arms.

Meanwhile Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow, 53, showed off her sleek and minimalist style in a black and white dress with a tank-style top. 

Bugonia star Emma Stone, 37, wowed in an effortlessly chic strapless ivory dress from Calvin Klein Collection.

The AFI Awards are annual honors presented by the American Film Institute (AFI) that recognize the most outstanding films and television programs of the year. 

With awards season in full swing, the AFI Awards are a key stop for Oscar hopefuls, who posed on the red carpet before heading into the luncheon event. 

Grande accessorized her look with pearl earrings and wore her hair swept up into an elegant updo. 

Grande plays Glinda (also known as Glinda the Good Witch) in Wicked: For Good, the second part of the Wicked film adaptation, which was among the 10 honorees for outstanding motion pictures at this year's event. 

During a recent interview with Variety, Grande commented on her co-star Cynthia Erivo's SAG nomination snub. 

It came after the nominees were announced earlier this week on Wednesday - with Grande garnering a nod for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role. 

'Cynthia's performance is the most truthful, vulnerable and fierce Elphaba we've seen, and it will be referenced and adored for generations. That can't be taken away,' the songstress expressed.

She added that 'every good thing that happens to me belongs to them, too. None of this exists in isolation. 

'We informed each other every single day. Of course, it's hard - they deserve all the flowers this world can grow.'

Grande also offered her thoughts on the film's director Jon M. Chu who was also snubbed by the DGA (Director's Guild Awards).

'There aren't enough flowers on this earth for Jon M. Chu. He's an extraordinary human being and director.'

She added that the Wicked films will be loved by fans for many years while gushing that Chu 'set out to move people, to challenge them, to make them better allies and better humans - and he succeeded.'

Meanwhile Paltrow completed her look with black heels and wore her blonde hair in her signature straight style.

Inside the event she was pictured mingling with Titanic hunk Leonardo DiCaprio, 51.
