Independent Spirit Awards

A mix of casual and chic attire made the 39th annual awards show worth watching. “The Independent Spirit Awards, where the dress code is, get dressed,” said John Mulaney during his bit at the 2018 show, which he co-hosted along with comedian Nick Kroll. This year, “Saturday Night Live” alum Aidy Bryant is hosting the Indie Spirit’s 39th annual show, which is being live-streamed, with a presenter list that included Joel Kim Booster, Greta Lee, Jude Law, Colman Domingo and Emma Corrin. There are substantial differences between these awards and the rest of the seasonal intake of trophies this time of year — including, for the second year, all acting categories are gender-neutral — but last year “Everything Everywhere All at Once” won best picture awards at both the Oscars and the Indie Spirits. Held in broad daylight in a tent on a beach in Santa Monica, the show has always been presented as the looser, hipper distant cousin of the Oscars — the outfits could also be somewhat described the same way. Due to the time of day it’s held (2 p.m. PST), this is one place during awards season when the industry can kick off its heels, leave the evening gowns at home and show off its casual wares, which has the potential for interesting style choices. Here are some of the best ones.Lily Gladstone, a nominee for the John Cassavetes Award and an honorary chair of the event.Aude Guerrucci/ReutersBillie Eilish in Valentino.Jordan Strauss/Invision, via Associated PressGreta Lee, who was nominated for Best Lead Performance in “Past Lives.”Jordan Strauss/Invision, via Associated PressJeffrey Wright, who won for Best Lead Performance in the film “American Fiction” and Colman Domingo.Monica Schipper/Getty ImagesAli Wong, who won for Best Lead Performer in the TV series “Beef.”Valerie Macon/Agence France-Presse — Getty ImagesMonica Schipper/Getty ImagesAude Guerrucci/ReutersMonica Schipper/Getty ImagesDa’Vine Joy Randolph, who won the award for Best Supporting Performance for the film “The Holdovers.”Jordan Strauss/Invision, via Associated PressCharles Melton, nominated for supporting performer in the film “May December.”Aude Guerrucci/ReutersAidy Bryant, the host of the show.Monica Schipper/Getty ImagesNatalie Portman, one of the stars of the film “May December.”Aude Guerrucci/ReutersAnne HathawayJordan Strauss/Invision, via Associated PressSteven Yeun, nominated for “Beef,” with his wife, Joana Pak.Monica Schipper/Getty ImagesMichelle Williams, who starred in the film “Showing Up,” which was honored with the Robert Altman award.Valerie Macon/Agence France-Presse — Getty ImagesSterling K.
