Our 10 favourite looks from the Independent Spirit Awards
The 2023 awards season is in its final stretch, with the Golden Globes, the SAG Awards and the BAFTAs behind us, and the Academy Awards set for next week. And, this weekend, we saw the Independent Spirit Awards take place, a slightly less formal event on the calendar, but one which has certainly amped up excitement for the fashion we might see on Oscars' night.
The Independent Spirit Awards is, as the name suggests, dedicated to independent films and filmmakers, and – with a more relaxed dress code than many of these big Hollywood award shows – always provides us with some of the most inventive red-carpet fashion. This was certainly the case for 2023 with fun vintage looks and excellent suiting.
Below, we round up our 10 favourite looks from the 2023 Independent Spirit Awards.

Aubrey Plaza in Saint Laurent
Aubrey Plaza proved that when it comes to red-carpet fashion, sometimes, less really is more. The actress kept things super classic and simple for the Independent Spirit Awards in a black Saint Laurent trouser suit, which she wore bare underneath and teamed with a slick updo and a bold red lip.

Taylor Russell in Loewe
We have waxed lyrical about Taylor Russell's excellent style many times, and the actress just continues to deliver in pushing the style envelope but always executing a look perfectly. For this particular red carpet, Russell chose a sculptural black dress with cut-out detail by Loewe.

Claire Foy is known for her ladylike fashion choices, making Carolina Herrera a perfect choice for the star. The actress opted for this embellished, strapless, ankle-skimming dress for the awards, which she wore with minimal jewelllery and peep-toe heels.

Mia Goth in vintage Galliano
The slightly more relaxed dress code of the Spirit Awards is the reason we get so many interesting fashion choices, like this chic crochet gown worn by Mia Goth, which was from John Galliano's autumn/winter 1998 collection. She teamed it with statement stud earrings and a headband.

Haley Lu Richardson in Rodarte
Her character in the White Lotus was known for her playful fashion sense, and actress Haley Lu Richardson is also not afraid to have some fun when it comes to her style. For the Spirit Awards, the actress opted for sparkles in the form of a Rodarte dress and trousers, which she paired with platform pumps.
