For the 14th year in a row, the Warner Bros. and InStyle Golden Globes after-party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel was the go-to spot for Hollywood’s hottest. InStyle’s newest cover girl Jessica Alba (in Louis Vuitton) posed with Managing Editor Ariel Foxman, while Stacy Keibler (in Armani Prive) cozied up to boyfriend George Clooney, and Thandie Newton (in Giles Deacon) chatted with Lucy Liu (in Carolina Herrera). “For me, it’s a super party,” said Newton, who had attended the awards with husband Ol Parker, the screenplay writer for Golden Globe-nominate The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. “I’m so proud of him. ”I’m here to support him. And just to enjoy his glory.” The stars assembled under an stunning chandelier hung with thousands of gold metal strands, sipping cocktails and dining on delicacies like roast turkey and braised short rib. Click through the gallery to see more from inside!

George Clooney accepted the Brass Ring Award for his humanitarian work in Sudan at the 26th Anniversary Carousel of Hope Ball this weekend, which was presented by Mercedes-Benz and raised $2.5 million for the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes. “It’s pretty amazing,” Clooney told reporters of the cause. “I think it’s important for everyone to give back.” Singers Babyface and American Idol alum Jessica Sanchez serenaded the crowd, which also included Dancing With the Stars pro Cheryl Burke (in Amit Gt), judge Carrie Ann Inaba (in David Meister), Carmen Electra (in Olcay Gulsen), Julianne Hough (in Jenny Packham) and Jennie Garth (in Toujouri). However, it was Neil Diamond’s set that brought Jane Fonda, Stacy Keibler (in Monique Lhuillier), and Clooney to their feet. The crooner even convinced the honoree to finish his hit “Sweet Caroline”—after some red wine liquid courage. Encore! See more photos from this week’s biggest parties in the gallery.

Washington, D.C. was the most popular place to be this weekend! Some of the biggest names in Hollywood jetted to the nation’s capital to catch a glimpse of President Obama for the 98th Annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and the oodles of cocktail parties that came along with it. After garnering plenty of laughs as host of the event—where Reese Witherspoon (in Monique Lhuillier) mingled with New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand—comedian Jimmy Kimmel ventured over to the French Ambassador’s house for the Bloomberg andVanity Fair reception, along with Sofia Vergara (in David Meister), Kate Hudson (in Jenny Packham), George Clooney, and Kerry Washington (in Calvin Klein). “I thought the POTUS [President of the United States] was hilarious,” Tweeted Washington. “It was a wonderful weekend.” See more stars at the weekend’s hottest events—D.C. and beyond—in the gallery.
