The post-festive blues do not hit with the clock striking twelve as much as they do when people stash away their holiday decorations for a year-ending retreat. Yet, time flows differently in Tinseltown, where the party poppers stop only to reset the clock on the red carpet spectacle. Although just days ago, social media was filled with warm and cozy glimpses of stars making the most of their hard-earned holidays, the Palm Springs Film Festival flung open the door for A-listers from Selena Gomez to Mikey Madison for a new season of red carpet arrival.
With the stars of yesterday writing the script for tomorrow, the bigwigs of Hollywood look officially ready for 2025.
Selena Gomez, Mikey Madison, and more stars turn heads at the Palm Springs Film Festival
The year began with a celebrity feed flaunting their holiday magic, but just a little down the line, the Palm Springs Film Festival had them returning to their vanity vans for a fresh red carpet spell. Hollywood A-listers kick-started the first Friday of the new year in Palm Springs, California at Palm Springs Convention Center. While black is her go-to spotlight charmer, Selena Gomez pulled up in white in a chic tuxedo from Ralph Lauren.

Meanwhile, Anora
star Mikey Madison served class in a nude shade of satin slip dress
, accessorized with a diamond chain, dangling earrings, and a matching ring. As the red carpet filled with a color palette of white and pastel hues, Ariana Grande made a show-stopping entry with a puffed-out voluminous Louis Vuitton gown
in silver with pointy heels. Cynthia Erivo followed suit in a black, sleek Louis Vuitton gown
with structured white collar details.
While 2025 is poised to become a blockbuster year for Selena Gomez, Mikey Madison, and Ariana Grande, with the award season already upon the A-listers, these are not the only ones to grab eyeballs this year.
From Timothée Chalamet to Colman Domingo, actors who graced the Palm Springs Film Festival
Timothée Chalamet gave 2024 a fitting end with back-to-back surprises for his fans, thanks to his transformative era. Moving on to 2025, Chalamet channeled the same at the Palm Springs Film Festival in a mustache and goatee, bringing the casual to the red carpet of classics in an all-black ensemble. On the other hand, Colman Domingo’s appearance was a showstopper in a Valentino suit, layered with a red scarf-like detail over his trousers.

Andrew Garfield walked the carpet in a Valentino as well, sporting a brown suit with a pastel blue shirt underneath. Additionally, Angelina Jolie wore a halter-neck detailed black gown, while Nicole Kidman resembled like a mermaid in a blue corset gown. The star duo of Arrival was also in attending with Amy Adams and Denis Villeneuve shining like always. While the starry meet-and-greet has the fans weekend this new year,
with the first page of the red carpet ceremonies already flipped, the Palm Springs Film Festival has been the welcoming garland for the stars of tomorrow.
