Kristen Stewart stuns in Chanel as the stars turn out in style at the Independent Spirit Awards

All eyes were on Kristen Stewart as she rocked a white sequined Chanel jumpsuit with black racing stripes down the sides and a black belt to the 37th annual Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Sunday night.

The 31-year-old Oscar nominee, who is serving as the evening’s honorary chair and a presenter, styled her slightly, damp strawberry blonde hair in cool waves and opted for a classic smoky eye. 

Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney oozed elegance in a floral embellished silver midi dress while attending her first event since accepting her longtime boyfriend Jonathan Davino’s proposal.

The newly-engaged HBO star, 24, who was not wearing a ring on her left finger, also debuted her recently dyed red tresses as she strutted down the blue carpet in a pair of black high heels.

In addition to swapping out her signature blonde hair, the actress opted to apply a black liquid eyeliner above and below her blue eyes.

Lily James looked equally elegant as she turned heads in a plunging, jewel-encrusted pink crop top with flowing sleeves, which she paired with black high-waisted pants.
