I’m calling it now: The 2026 award season will go down in the books as one of Hollywood’s best dressed. From Sabrina Carpenter’s custom Valentino at the Grammy Awards to the plethora of jaw-dropping looks on the Golden Globes red carpet to Ariana Grande’s beautiful nod to Diahann Carroll at the Critics Choice Awards, the town has served one spectacular look after another.

That said, today, we expect the 2026 Film Independent Spirit Awards to be a breath of fresh air. A fashion palette cleanser, if you will. It’s being held at the Hollywood Palladium, and the Art Deco theater will host the best in independent film and television. To honor it’s 41st year, the very funny Ego Nwodim will emcee the ceremony, alongside Honorary Chair Lulu Wang. A-list presenters include Rose Byrne, who is nominated for Best Lead Performance for her work in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Francois Arnaud, Kate Hudson, and Regina King, the nominees list is equally star-studded with Keke Palmer, Tessa Thompson, Michelle Williams, Dylan O’Brien, Erin Doherity, and many more.

Let’s keep the momentum of this spectacular award season going and dive right into the most elegant red carpet looks from the 2026 Film Independent Spirit Awards. With updates to come, we wait for the celebrity guest to arrive.
