Billie Eilish joined a number of A-list stars while attending the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Sunday.
The Ocean Eyes singer, 22, donned an oversized black Valentino jacket and pants over a classic white button-up and black tie.
The hitmaker — who had a hilarious interaction with Melissa McCarthy at the SAG Awards the previous night — completed her look with black shoes, and styled her raven tresses straight for the evening.
She wore delicate glam for the occasion, highlighting her piercing blue eyes with just a touch of eyeliner.
The star — born Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell — accessorized with dangling earrings.
Billie Eilish joined a number of A-list stars while attending the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Sunday
Though she often attends award shows with her brother and collaborator FINNEAS, 26, he did not join her at the event.
She is nominated for best supporting performance in a new scripted series for her role in Swarm.
Swarm made its debut in the early part of last year. The storyline revolves around an obsessed fan Dre (Dominique Fishback) who resorts to murderous extremes in order to protect the reputation of her beloved pop star.
Eilish portrayed Eva, a subtly manipulative cult leader within an all-women group, ensnaring Dre under the pretense of 'female empowerment.'
The Film Independent Spirit Awards, Hollywood's premiere event for the independent film and television community, is returning for it's 39th annual celebration.
Aidy Bryant will be hosting the soiree. Viewers can now tune in via livestream on YouTube, as it will no longer be available on television.
Nominations were announced back in December, with American Fiction, May December, and Past Lives leading the pack with five nods each.
All of Us, American Fiction, May December, Passages, Past Lives, and We Grown Now will all be competing for Best Feature, one of the biggest categories of the evening.
A host of A-listers are up for nominations, including Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, and more.
