With its seaside setting and afternoon timing, the 2019 Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica always calls for more relaxed dress code—a welcome reprieve before the stars go all-out at Sunday evening’s Oscars.

Dresses came in vibrant hues, many decorated with colorful stones and sequins, and most without sleeves to convey the vibe of easygoing elegance.
