Brenda Song vamped it up in a plunging black dress while attending the 8th Astra Creative Arts, Film & TV Awards - which were held at the Taglyan Complex in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

The 36-year-old former child star's cocktail attire, selected by stylist Jordan Grossman, featured spaghetti straps and a flirty corseted bodice.

Brenda's highlighted brunette mane was middle parted and styled in waves.

Song's complexion was fully contoured with false lashes, defined brows, and a mauve pout for the Hollywood Critics Association ceremony.

The Blue Eye Samurai star got to cuddle adorable Petco-sponsored puppies on the red carpet alongside her castmate from The Last Showgirl, Kiernan Shipka.

The 25-year-old Mad Men alum and The Last Showgirl scribe Kate Gersten both donned black cocktail dresses to coordinate with Brenda.

Gia Coppola's indie drama shot in 18 days impressively managed to beat The Apprentice, Hundreds of Beavers, Late Night with the Devil, Strange Darling, and Thelma for the best indie film trophy.

In her acceptance speech, the 45-year-old screenwriter singled out the 'gorgeous human angels standing next to me' and the rest of the cast and crew for making The Last Showgirl 'as personal to them as it has always been to me.'

'[It's] a love letter to women, to working mothers, [and] especially to those of us who have been underestimated,' Kate - who penned the script in 2014 - gushed onstage.

'It's also for artists in it for the sheer passion of craft.'

Song portrays showgirl Mary-Anne who - like Kiernan's Jodie and Pamela Anderson's Shelly - must plan for her future when their Las Vegas revue abruptly closes after a 30-year run.

The Last Showgirl - hitting US theaters January 10 and UK theaters February 28 - currently has a 'certified fresh' 81% critic approval rating out of 58 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

The highly-anticipated movie also features Jamie Lee Curtis, Billie Lourd, Dave Bautista, and Jason Schwartzman.

Earlier that same day, the Cali native attended a special SAG-AFTRA screening of The Last Showgirl moderated by Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.

On the personal front, Brenda has two sons - Dakota Song Culkin, 3; and Carson Song Culkin, nearly 2 - with fiancé Macaulay Culkin, whom she met in 2017 on the Thailand set of Changeland.
