The Spirit Awards Red Carpet Was So Glam, It Will Prepare You Well For the Oscars

If we were actors who had the honor of attending award shows, we'd have just as much fun dressing for the Spirit Awards as we would the evening ceremonies. The daytime event gives stars the perfect chance to amp up their outfits with extra personality. Last year Cate Blanchett topped off her Gucci maxi with a pair of colorful Fendi sunglasses, and it seems like 2017's guests followed suit, starting with Ruth Negga in a fresh-off-the-runway Fall 2017 Delpozo dress. Scroll to see every sophisticated-yet-playful look to hit the scene, building up excitement for all the glamour at the Oscars.
