2016 Spirit Awards: Cate Blanchett, Jessica Biel, Rachel McAdams & More Do Beach Chic Right

Think of the Film Independent Spirit Awards as the Oscars’ younger sister: sometimes stealing the spotlight (in the past, they’ve predicted the Best Picture at the Academy Awards); more independent (films such as The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Beasts of No Nation, and Love & Mercy were nominated), and, as the name suggests, free-spirited (the event’s held on the beach in Santa Monica, Calif.). And when it comes to fashion, Saturday’s dress code for the oceanside affair is a lot more laid-back, with stars like Cate Blanchett wearing an embroidered Gucci gown with wild sunglasses, Rachel McAdams having fun with color in a bright red, pink, and white ensemble, Jessica Biel looking like a luau queen in a printed Roland Mouret number and funky heels, and more.
