2023 Film Independent Spirit Awards Red Carpet Roundup

Here is a roundup from the 2023 Film Independent Spirit Awards held on Saturday (March 4) in Santa Monica, California.

My first thought when seeing Aubrey Plaza’s bold shouldered Saint Laurent Fall 2022 tuxedo was that she needed platforms.

Mejuri jewels and a bold red lip completed her modern Palmer girl look.

This Oscar de la Renta Spring 2023 embellished mini dress was a completely different look for Ayo Edebiri.

She always has fun with fashion, and at times she can be experimental, but this rare flirty moment was refreshing.

Beatrice Grannò may be a child of the ‘90s, but she was channelling the ‘80s in this Gucci Spring 2023 ensemble that Madonna would be proud of, as it looks very inspired by the singer.

Chloé Zhao could have found better footwear to go with this Chanel look.

Claire Foy dazzled in Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2022.

This fitted embellished dress is a refreshing change of pace for the British actress.

Gabrielle Union is my girl, but even with the side slit I found this Gucci look a bit too heavy and boxy.

Haley Lu Richardson also brought a sparkling two-piece to this red carpet in Rodarte Spring 2023 outfit.

This look didn’t need the heavy footwear, but considering this was an ode to the ‘60s, perhaps it did.

Jenny Slate in Thom Browne was very much a “been there, done that” moment which is already becoming a little tired.

This Elie Saab Fall 2022 Haute Couture dress is pretty, and if anyone is going to make this work it is Jodie Turner-Smith.

I adore these colours against her skin-tone.

I wish Michaela Jaé Rodriguez had been more confident to walk the red carpet as the model had done on the runway.

Covering this Lena Erziak Spring 2023 Couture dress kinda defeats the purpose of wearing it.

I thought Mia Goth’s widow moments were confined to her ‘Pearl’ promo tour, but she brought it back wearing this vintage John Galliano knit maxi dress.

Feathers were trending on this red carpet as showcased by Quinta Brunson in Aliétte.

I love the colour of her.

Rebeca Huntt (checks spelling on Google) kept things simple, chic and in line with the occasion wearing this Rodarte crepe, sequin and lace dress.

This Andrew Kwon dress worn by Regina Hall would’ve been so much better without the train.

Sheryl Lee Ralph’s awards season has been nothing short of spectacular, and this Tony Ward Fall 2022 Couture strapless gown is no exception.

I did pause at the dark pumps, but when you consider that the last colour on the flared skirt, it all makes perfect sense.

There were more spaghetti strap dresses to be had on this red carpet.  I really love the ease of Simona Tabasco’s vintage Jean Paul Gaultier gown.

Stephanie Hsu was giving us dramatic shapes in Khoon Hoi.

I love the deconstructed nature of Taylour Paige’s Acne Studios knit dress.
