Quinta Brunson made an elegant arrival at the 38th Independent Spirit Awards this evening in Santa Monica. This year, the actress is nominated for “Best Lead Performance in a New Scripted Series award” for her role in “Abbott Elementary”.

The Emmy Award winner shone in a yellow feathered dress by New York brand Aliétte. Her floor-length number featured a strapless silhouette with a heart-shaped neckline, a silver-sequin embellished top and a column skirt decorated with yellow feathers all over.

Although the length of her skirt didn’t allow for a peek at her footwear, it is very likely that her stylist Bryon Javar picked a pair of strappy sandals with stiletto heels, as he’s been doing lately for most of Brunson’s red carpet appearances.

The actress amped up the glam factor with pair of silver and diamond C-shaped earrings.

When it came to beauty, she matched her dress with a dash of eyeshadow in a very similar tone and added some shimmer to her cheeks and lips. She styled her hair in a tight low ponytail with a wet finish that added to the glittery effect of her look.
