Recreate Ruth Negga Independent Spirit Awards look on way less than a designer budget

Ruth Negga may not have won the Oscar (this time), but she is certainly winning in the style stakes

The Irish actress has been riding the crest of the award season wave, wearing gorgeous outfit after gorgeous outfit. One particular favourite of ours was this two-tone green ensemble she wore to the Oscar Wilde Awards on February 23rd.

Spot the shoes.

We can't obviously forget her amaze Valentino Oscar gown, either.

She wore a Delpozo dress to the Independent Spirit Awards the night before the Oscars, and though it reminds us a bit of the bridesmaid dress our mother wore to a Christmas wedding in 1991, we're quite taken with it, the top in particular.

This season, it's all about the sleeves, and this dress takes it to the max. It's like the most structured, abstract bow.

If you want to create a low-key version of the look, we've found this top from Coast (€119):

Which would look perfect with a prom style skirt, like this one by V by Very at Littlewoods (€52).

The top, we think, would look great with jeans and strappy sandals, too.
