Billie Eilish was among the notable celebrities attending the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Sunday.
The 22-year-old singer opted for an oversized black Valentino jacket and pants paired with a classic white button-up and black tie. Completing her ensemble with black shoes, she wore her straight raven tresses for the evening and chose subtle glam makeup, accentuating her striking blue eyes with a hint of eyeliner. Eilish added elegance with dangling earrings, showcasing her signature style.
Although Eilish typically attends award shows with her brother and collaborator FINNEAS, he was not present at this event. Eilish received a nomination for best supporting performance in a new scripted series for her role in “Swarm,” which premiered last year. In the series, she portrays Eva, a subtly manipulative cult leader, opposite Dominique Fishback’s character Dre, who resorts to extreme measures to protect her favorite pop star’s reputation.
The Film Independent Spirit Awards, a prestigious event for the independent film and television community, returned for its 39th annual celebration. Aidy Bryant hosted the soirée, which was livestreamed on YouTube instead of being broadcast on television.
Nominations were announced in December, with several films receiving multiple nods, including “American Fiction,” “May December,” and “Past Lives.” Categories like Best Feature and Best Lead Performance featured a diverse range of nominees, with actors such as Jessica Chastain, Natalie Portman, and Andrew Scott being recognized for their outstanding performances.
The Spirit Awards emphasized diversity and inclusion, with a significant percentage of wомen and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) nominees across various categories. The nominating committees, comprising industry professionals from diverse backgrounds, aimed to recognize works that demonstrated uniqueness of vision, originality, and thought-provoking subject matter.
Overall, the Spirit Awards highlighted the achievements of talented filmmakers and performers while celebrating the diversity and creativity within the independent film industry.
