Ethan Slater and Frankie Grande were all smiles at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards in California.

On Friday, Jan. 3, during the gala — where Wicked star Ariana Grande, 31, received the rising star award from Jennifer Coolidge — Slater, 32, posed for a photo with his girlfriend Ariana’s older brother, Frankie, 41.

Slater donned a classic black suit while Frankie rocked a sequin blazer and black eye makeup. Ariana, who wasn’t photographed with her brother or boyfriend/Wicked costar, wore a strapless silver ballgown that appeared to draw inspiration from her Wicked character, Glinda the Good Witch.

Ariana’s voluminous skirt was shaped in an oversized circle, similar to a bubble, seemingly a nod to her Wicked character’s means of transportation. She completed her outfit with white pointed-toe pumps.

In her rising star award acceptance speech on Friday, Ariana mentioned how she started her career in that family home’s living room.

"Being able to play Glinda the Good was not only the honor of my life but it felt like a homecoming," Grande said. "For those of you who don't know, I started out in stand-up comedy. My first professional gig was in our living room in Boca Raton, Fla., [to entertain] my grandparents. I was 4 years old and my mom gave me $5."

"I learned early on that laughter was one of our greatest escapes and I remember the infectious impact that it had, not only on the people in my life, but how it fed me in return,” she continued. “And the past 10 years when I was really focused on music I really missed that feeling. So it really does it feel like the beginning of a new chapter."

Ariana is also nominated for a Golden Globe for her role as Glinda.
