The Film Independent Spirit Awards brought us some excellent looks. There was a fresh and youthful vibe going on, which set its red carpet apart from other more stuffy and serious sartorial atmospheres such as the Oscars.
We present to you our seven favorite looks from the event:
1. Emma Stone in Monique Lhuillier
The 26-year-old was a breath of fresh air in her Monique Lhuillier guipure lace textured A-line dress featuring cut-out sides and a breezy floral cut-out pattern. Nothing else could give this a more elegant vibe than her Christian Louboutin “So Kate” pumps in black patent.

2. Emmy Rossum in Oscar de la Renta
Her Oscar de la Renta sheer embroidered dress is just the thing to keep a girl looking and feeling feminine. Emmy Rossum teamed it up with Christian Louboutin’s “Iriza” pumps and an “Aida” clutch from the same French designer.

3. Cate Blanchett in Schiaparelli
The 45-year-old was very stunning in her heart-printed Schiaparelli dress with a flared hem. Her styling was faultless as well, keeping it simple with a classic pair of Brian Atwood heels.

4. Jena Malone in Ulyana Sergeenko
The ‘Hunger Games’ actress channeled her inner Harley Quinn in an Ulyana Sergeenko Spring 2015 Couture dress. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart, but Jena pulled it off.

5. Kristina Bazan in Breezy Lace Dress
We love the blogger/model’s breezy lace dress and wouldn’t mind wearing it for spring. The pops of red in this look also worked wonders.

6. Gillian Jacobs in Preen
The 32-year-old actress looked stunning in her printed Preen dress. We also love the gorgeous red pumps and the camel-tone coat she wore en route to the event.

7. Stana Katic in Chloe
Perhaps the most out-of-the-ordinary dress for the night was Stana Katic’s Chloe dress that has a shapeless, slip style silhouette. It also features interesting feather detail in front. She accessorized with black Saint Laurent heels and earrings and cuff from Jennifer Fisher.
