2023 Film Independent Spirit Awards: Mia Goth showcases her curves in form-fitting black lace dress
Mia Goth showcased her curves in a form fitting ensemble Saturday at the Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, California.
Mia, 29, who displayed her talents for horror once again in Infinity Pool, was nominated for Best Lead Performance for her role in the fright flick Pearl, about an ambitious farm girl who longs for the glamorous life she sees in the movies.
The annual event is always held the week before the Academy Awards and salutes the best in independent film and television.
The British-born actress dressed in head-to-toe black, donning a long sleeve black lace dress with a velvet cowl neck and hem, for the red carpet.
The leggy blonde wore nothing underneath the frock, except for a black bra and high waist panties.

Mia wore minimal makeup and kept her blonde locks back with a wide black headband.
She accessorized with large black and gold earrings.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, the Hawaii Film Critics Society award winner said Pearl provided a much needed breakthrough for her.
‘For a while, it was always a miracle to me that I would get another job,’ the Emma actress admitted.
It’s Pearl which changed me, in terms of how I view myself and my ability as a performer.’
Mia also worked with director and writer Ty West to create the script, and received her first writing credit for the screenplay.
‘That project was an opportunity for me to experience a performance-driven story for the first time—very little plot, just very character-focused,’ she explained.
The film, which was shot in New Zealand during the height of the pandemic provided an opportunity for the Suspira actress to explore her creative side.

‘I would wake up very early, put my phone on a timer for maybe an hour at a time, and write in the style of a stream of consciousness, rather than script form, because I found that to be an obstacle in me getting my ideas down,’ she revealed.
‘I would write as Pearl, as me…but Pearl is me. I mean, all my characters are me, turned up or turned down. It’s all me exploring different facets of myself.’
The busy actress said she gives her all to each and every project.
‘I think you should feel like you’re run dry by the time you finish a movie.’
Mia is married to fellow actor Shia LeBeouf, 36, and they share a daughter, Isabel, one.
The scream queen will return to the Pearl universe in MaXXXine, based on one of the characters she played in X, the film that kicked off the trilogy.
A release date has not yet been announced.
Shia is currently working on Megalopolis with Francis Ford Coppola.

The 38th Annual Film Independent Spirit Awards were held at the Santa Monica Pier on Saturday, March 4, with comedian Hasan Minhaj hosting.
The nominations were officially announced late last year in November, and the awards ceremony is notably known for bringing ‘together top talent from throughout the world of film and television,’ according to the official website.
This year, the awards show will only be available to view via streaming, and will not air live on IFC, a first since 1997, reported Variety.
Instead, fans and audiences can easily tune in to watch the beachside festivities on IMDB’s YouTube Channel, as well as the Film Independent’s YouTube and Twitter pages.
Some of the top categories include Best Feature, Best Director, and also Best New Scripted Series.
The Spirit Awards have also installed new gender-neutral categories, combining both male and female actors for Best Lead and Supporting Performances in film and television.
Josh Welsh, who is the current Film Independent President, told Variety that, ‘It’s something we’ve been talking about for probably three years.’
Another honor given out during the annual ceremony is the John Cassavetes Award, which is presented to a creative team for a film that was budgeted at less than $1,000,000. The nominees include The African Desperate, The Cathedral, Holy Emy, A Love Song and Something In The Dirt.
