A number of dazzling stars attended the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards, held at the Santa Monica Pier on Sunday, but not all of them impressed with their fashion choices.
The glitzy night featured plenty of questionable outfits, from outdated floral patterns, to sequin overloads and strange bright looks, a number of stars were not on their fashion A-game.
Among those who missed the style mark this year were actresses Anna Kendrick, 38, Ali Wong, 41, and Elizabeth Banks, 50.
The Twilight star did not bring the wow factor, wearing a dated floral off-shoulder salmon pink cocktail dress with strappy red heels.
Meanwhile Beef star Ali, 41, landed on the worst dressed list once again, following her recent SAG Awards appearance.

The actress wore an overload of silver sequins attached to her sleeveless gown, which featured an awkward oversized collar.
Ali completed her look with a high bun and clear eyeglasses.
The night prior she made a rather baffling appearance on the red carpet in an enormous gown that featured strings of diamond-shaped embellishments flying off the sides – leaving the comedian looking not unlike a pigeon.
Meanwhile Elizabeth wore a very bold red mini dress that she could have easily rocked at a night club.
She paired the bold outfit with red heels, a red clutch and sunglasses.
Bottoms star Rachel Sennott, 28, also missed the fashion mark in a tight-fitting black sequin catsuit.
The Crown star Emma Corrin, 28 — who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns — wore a bizarre black satin co-ord. The square neck top boasted a white heart and hand print on the cleavage.
Beef creator Lee Sung Jin did not thrill at the event, wearing a lime green suit with worn-out yellow patches throughout. He paired the unique look with chunky white boots and a white shirt.
