Jessica Chastain arrived on the purple carpet wearing all-black today for the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards.

The “Take Shelter” actress wore a black blazer and matching skirt with thin lime green stripe insets, from the Spring/Summer 2012 haute couture collection, by Armani Privé. This was a nice look for the daytime event, but I feel like it was better suited for a luncheon rather than an awards ceremony.

She should have rocked the skirt seen on the model! | continue reading..

Comfort came first for “The Descendants” star Shailene Woodley when she attended the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards in black skinny jeans.

Shailene paired her jeans with a yellow and pink crystal bead-embellished short sleeve top, from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection by Christopher Kane, and gold cap-toe pointed “Duvette” pumps by Christian Louboutin.

Halfway through the purple carpet, Shailene removed her shoes and walked barefoot because they were too big and uncomfortable for her. | continue reading..

I wonder if Lucy Liu had a chance to chat with Elizabeth Banks today during the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards today. If so, I hope Elizabeth didn’t mention the fact that she recently wore the same dress Lucy was clad in!

That’s right, last month Elizabeth appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman” wearing the very same color-block halterneck cutout bodice dress white lace hem from Roberto Cavalli’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection. | continue reading..

Elizabeth Banks made a bold statement on the purple carpet today as she stepped out for the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards held at the Santa Monica Pier.

“The Hunger Games” actress wore a lily pad printed tunic tank with a black textured border going along the cut-out neckline that featured a crisscrossing strap at the center of the bust. Elizabeth layered on a matching calf-length pleated skirt with the center split. Both pieces are from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection by Timo Weiland, though only the skirt was seen as is on the catwalk. | continue reading..

“Castle” star Stana Katic made her way down the purple carpet today for the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards in a short metallic brocade dress by Lela Rose with three quarter length sleeve and an open back.

The dress was cute, and while it was on the super-short side, at least she has a great set of legs to show off.

Stana accessorized the look with metallic platform sandals by Stuart Weitzman with an open toe and crisscross straps. | continue reading..

Today was the first time Li Bingbing presented at an American award show, but the Chinese actress already nailed the red carpet appearance part of the job.

The “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan” star arrived on the purple carpet at Santa Monica Pier for the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Award wearing a gorgeous look from Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection. | continue reading..

Rashida Jones was one of the few stars at the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards today to wear a dress from a fall collection.

The “Celeste and Jesse Forever” actress arrived on the purple carpet at the Santa Monica Pier in a ocean cotton silk degrade leaf print dress from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection by Oscar de la Renta. | continue reading..

Nothing like showing off a little leg!

Kirsten Dunst was in Santa Monica today for the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards, and arrived on the purple carpet wearing a super short black dress by Dolce & Gabbana.

It was definitely a sexy LBD, and Kirsten was smart to tone down a bit for the daytime ceremony with a white blazer by Chloé and a complimenting pair of printed ankle strap platform Dolce & Gabbana sandals. | continue reading..

Can Kate Beckinsale go wrong on the red carpet? Seriously — this woman is on a fashionable roll!

Today, the “Underworld: Awakening” actress arrived at the Santa Monica Pier for the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards in a gorgeous crepe one shoulder magenta jumpsuit. I love the draping effect at the gathered shoulder connecting to the long belted sash at the opposite side. | continue reading..

Anne Heche joined her husband James Tupper on the purple carpet today for the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards where she donned a LBD by Zac Posen.

The “Rampart” actress arrived the ceremony, which was held at Santa Monica Pier, in a black version of this cap-sleeve crepe dress from the Resort 2012 collection. | continue reading..
