Lily Gladstone glowed at the 2024 Independent Spirit Awards nominees brunch in Santa Monica on Saturday.
The Killers Of The Flower Moon star — who was named Best Actress of 2023 by the New York Film Critics Circle —showed off her unique sartorial sense with a white blouse and long denim skirt combination for the event held at the Hotel Casa del Mar.
The chic ensemble featured oversized fabric flowers adorning their shoulder and hip as they kept their raven tresses pinned back in a loose bun.
The star-studded brunch comes a few weeks after Gladstone, 37, was announced as the honorary chair at the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards.
In addition to serving in this role, Gladstone — who uses she/they pronouns — is also nominated for a Spirit Award as a writer on the film The Unknown Country.
