Rose Byrne showcases her toned abs as she leads the best dressed at Film Independent Spirit Awards

Rose was the definition of sleek in a black two-piece that put her toned midriff centre stage, with a clever cut-out and a cascade of ruffles in pops of colour that added movement (and a little mischief) as she posed. It was minimal from the front, then more dramatic the longer you looked, which is exactly why it worked so well. Finished with pared-back styling and a confident, statuesque stance, Rose proved that sometimes the boldest statement is simply great tailoring, plus one unexpected twist.

Kaia leaned into timeless glamour with a black, body-skimming lace dress that felt classic, sexy and very Spirit Awards. The high neckline and longline silhouette kept the look elegant, while the sheer texture and delicate pattern brought the wow factor. With her hair worn sleek and her accessories kept simple, Kaia let the dress do all the talking, and it was a whisper-quiet kind of stunning.

Nina brought warmth to the blue carpet in a strapless yellow gown splashed with oversized red florals, a colour combination that looked instantly joyful. The sweetheart neckline and fitted bodice gave it a modern red-carpet shape, while the painterly print added a romantic, almost vintage feel. With her glossy hair worn straight and minimal jewellery, Nina struck the perfect balance between statement and sophistication.

Regina arrived in a shimmering halter-neck gown that looked like wearable art, with a mosaic-like mix of colours catching the light from every angle. The plunging neckline and floaty skirt felt glamorous without being too formal, which suited the Spirit Awards perfectly. Regal, radiant and smiling, she made a strong case for metallics as the ultimate confidence look.

Zoey went chic and slightly tongue-in-cheek in a cream mini dress with a supersized black bow at the neckline, giving the look a fashion-meets-cocktail-party charm. Paired with patterned tights and sleek heels, it felt polished but fun, the sort of outfit that looks just as good in candids as it does in posed shots. Add her oversized sunglasses and you have a full character moment, in the best way.

Kirsten’s look was pure romance, a floaty floral dress in soft, pastel tones that felt like spring had arrived early. The billowy sleeves and cinched waist gave it a gentle, feminine shape, while the breezy skirt brought that effortlessly pretty vibe she does so well. With her blonde waves worn loose and her make-up kept natural, Kirsten looked like she had stepped out of a film still.

Lola delivered the drama in layers of vivid red tulle, creating a textured, cloud-like silhouette that was impossible to miss. The look was playful, theatrical and wonderfully bold, with the kind of styling that makes photographers lift their cameras a little faster. Finished with glossy heels and a cool, unfussy beauty look, she proved that volume can still feel modern when it is worn with confidence.

Erin kept things fashion-forward in a black mini with dramatic, cape-like volume that framed her silhouette beautifully. The dress felt almost architectural, with fabric that moved like it had a life of its own, while sheer tights and pointed heels gave it that crisp, editorial finish. A slick red lip and statement earrings completed the look, adding just the right amount of old-Hollywood polish to something very modern.
