Then there was Shailene Woodley. The new It-girl of the teen and YA movie genre has been rocking more and more youthful looks since chopping off her hair last year and we have to say – it really works for her. It doesn’t really get more indie-appropriate than a crop top and a maxi skirt, but Woodley’s Lyn Devon outfit gave her that I-didn’t-really-try-but-check-me-out-looking-fabulous vibe we all love in an A-lister. Points for creativity.

Shailene Woodley, Independent Spirit Awards
Yes. Yes, we approve.

Ok, we have to. We’re throwing Angela Basset’s show-stopping red number in here. Not quite formal enough for the Oscars, it didn’t really have the hippie vibe typical of the Independent Spirits either, but just look at that dress. Anyone who can rock a bright red, cleavage-bearing bodycon and look this confident doing it has our vote.

Angela Bassett
A red bodycon is always appropriate.
