While Hollywood is busy preparing for The Oscars, some stars still managed to find time in their schedules for the 2013 Independent Spirit Awards held at Santa Monica Beach on Saturday.
Although many stunning outfits were spotted, we’ve selected 7 that really got our attention. Let us know which one you like the most, and which ones have got to go!
Let’s first have a look at Jennifer Lawrence, who bagged the Best Actress award at the event. She has had some hits and misses fashion-wise, but this look was definitely a bulls-eye.
The dress Jennifer wore is from Lanvin’s spring 2013 collection, and it is edgy and playful. It features a crystal-embellished choker, which is on-trend these days, as well as a wrap-around skirt with an asymmetrical hem and an obi-like belt. She finished her look with Giuseppe Zanotti sandals that feature metal heels, which complemented her dress well.

Opting for a head-to-toe floral look was Kerry Washington, who wore a Giambattista Valli fall 2012 couture dress. The interesting design features two different shades of green for the bodice and the skirt, which gave Kerry a unique springtime charm. Completing her comely look were her Christian Louboutin “Sissi” pumps, which also showcase a floral design.
Do you love this look, or do you think it’s too much flower power for one ensemble?

Camila Alves decided to match the pink carpet of the event as she donned a hot pink Escada gown featuring a beaded round neckline, a cleavage-baring keyhole, and a thigh-high slit at the center. Normally we’re a little apprehensive about carpet-matching, but we think Camila did it with grace:

Cute and charming on the pink carpet, Brittany Snow wore a sweet-looking ensemble that included a Naeem Khan spring 2013 tulle-and-lace embroidered dress. A pair of nude sandals by Jimmy Choo and light makeup completed her pretty and preppy look.

Zoe Saldana went with a bold color patterned scheme in a white/green striped dress from Dolce & Gabbana’s spring 2013 collection. This classy dress paired with her white Casadei “Blade” pumps made Zoe look fit for a cruise, and we wholeheartedly approve of her chic ensemble.

Keeping things sophisticated, Katie Aselton wore a black lace dress by Wes Gordon. The gown has a lingerie-style silhouette with lace, silk tulle, and sequin embellishments and embroideries. Sexy with a subdued playfulness, the gown also features a modest high neck, a two-piece layered style, and a scalloped hem. We’re not sure how we feel about this sultry-yet-old-fashioned frock, but something about the beach event makes us wonder if Katie could have chosen something a bit more summer-appropriate.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead opted for an Emilio Pucci fall 2012 frock. In expected fall fashion, the dress features long sleeves, but thanks to the shoulder cutouts and light blue color scheme, it can also work for a summer event. To complete the bright look, she carried a tangerine clutch and paired the dress with wedges.
