Aubrey Plaza, Michelle Williams and Christina Ricci lead star-studded red carpet at DGA Awards

Aubrey Plaza, Michelle Williams and Christina Ricci turned up the glam factor Saturday night as they hit the red carpet at the Directors Guild Of America Awards in Beverly Hills.

Held at the iconic Beverly Hilton, the top-flight event welcomed a cavalcade of boldface names who paraded in front of the cameras ahead of the ceremony.

Michelle, 42, who plays a fictionalized version of Steven Spielberg’s mother in his new film The Fabelmans, for which he is nominated, took the plunge in a luxurious cream gown.

The strapless number brought back memories of Old Hollywood with soft gold accents near the cinched-in waistline, which highlighted her hourglass frame.

Her pale backless dress perfectly complemented her blonde hair, which she wore in an elegant bob reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties during her latest public appearance.

Aubrey on the other hand flashed the flesh in a skirt-top combo that plunged to showcase her cleavage as she treated the shutterbugs to her megawatt smile.

The 38-year-old glowed at the awards how, having starred on last year’s second season of The White Lotus, whose creator and director Mike White is nominated for one of Saturday night’s baubles.

Showing off her enviably toned legs through her daringly high thigh-slit, she also showcased her impressively chiseled midriff as she strode the red carpet.

Christina on the other hand matched her sleek black locks with a raven-colored dress that featured a full sleeve at one side and fell trendily off the shoulder at the other.

Anna Kendrick raised the event’s glitz levels in a sparkling pink sequined mini-dress, Seth Rogen was a sight to see in a blood-red suit and Nomadland director Chloe Zhao was simply elegant in a black dress.

Steven Spielberg himself was on hand for the festivities, gathering for a group shot with his wife Kate Capshaw as well as The Fabelmans’ stars Paul Dano and Gabriel LaBelle and producer Kristie Macosko Krieger.

Actors turned directors were also sprinkled among the evening’s nominees, including Jason Bateman who attended on the arm of his wife Amanda Anka and Ben Stiller who posed up with his wife Christine Taylor.

Gabriel, the 20-year-old actor who plays a character based on the young Spielberg in The Fabelmans, wore head-to-toe black as he swung by the awards to support his director.

Regina Hall modeled a black gown that fell open over a silver sparkling bandeau, Bonnie Hunt commanded attention in a sleek power suit and Jerry Bruckheimer wore a white bow-tie that popped against his black outfit.

Wag The Dog director Barry Levinson’s son Sam – who has scored a DGA nomination for directing an episode of Euphoria, which he also created – made a fashion statement in a pair of sunglasses indoors.

The fete’s host Judd Apatow was classically stylish in a black suit and bow tie, whilst actress Stephanie Hsu hinted at her toned figure in a peekaboo top.

Stephanie is one of the stars of last year’s buzzy sci-fi feature Everything Everywhere All At Once, whose nominated directing duo Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan playfully stuck their thumbs up on the red carpet.

Bros star Billy Eichner, who also wrote the screenplay to the critically acclaimed flop, cut a dapper figure in a classically stylish black tuxedo and matching bow tie.

Joseph Kosinski, who is nominated for Saturday night’s feature film gong by way of Top Gun: Maverick, posed up with his wife Kristin while actress Christine Lahti glowed beside her husband Thomas Schlamme.

LeVar Burton contrasted a black suit with a maroon shirt and white pocket square as he attended the knees-up with his wife Stephanie, whom he celebrated his 30th wedding anniversary with last year.

Todd Field, the writer and director of Tár, brought a touch of throwback flair to the proceedings in a fedora while James Marsden was every inch the Hollywood heartthrob as he posed up for the cameras.

Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, the husband-wife team behind the semi-autobiographical script of the buzzy 2017 picture The Big Sick, also made their presence felt on the red carpet.

Judd Apatow, whose own directorial career has included such comedy classics as The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, lent his skills to the festivities as master of ceremonies.

The top prize of the evening, the award for directing a feature film, went to the duo of Daniel Scheinert and Dan Kwan for the Michelle Yeoh starrer Everything Everywhere All At Once.

However even the losing nominees were presented with a Directors Guild Of America medallion, including Spielberg, who posed with the honor backstage.

Several of the famous figures who traipsed across the red carpet earlier in the evening then brought their charisma to the stage to hand out the prizes.

Aubrey accessorized her flesh-flashing ensemble with a blazer, adding an air of formality to her look to give Helen Shaver the TV movie and miniseries gong for an episode of Station Eleven.

Sex symbols Regina Hall and James Marsden set tongues wagging as they feted Kim Gehrig with the commercial prize for two Apple ads, plus Bill Hader with the comedy series trophy for an episode of his show Barry.

Billy Eichner towered over Christina Ricci as they took the lectern together to present Anne Renton the children’s programming award for an episode of Halloween.
