Rose Byrne Stuns in Cutout Gown at Film Independent Spirit Awards

Rose Byrne made a memorable appearance at the 41st Annual Film Independent Spirit Awards held in Hollywood on Sunday. The Australian actress was a standout in a daring black dress featuring a midriff cutout and colorful fabric accents. This event celebrated her nomination for Best Lead Performance in the comedic drama "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You."

The film, released in October 2025, has garnered significant critical praise. Byrne's performance earned her a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy in January 2026. She humorously shared that her husband, Bobby Cannavale, missed the Golden Globe ceremony to attend a reptile expo for a bearded dragon.

"If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," which was filmed in 25 days, tells the story of a woman navigating personal crises while dealing with her daughter's illness and a therapist. The movie's success has exceeded expectations, with Byrne expressing her surprise at its audience resonance.

Byrne's accolades are continuing into awards season, with an Oscar nomination for Best Actress expected on March 15, 2026. She also received a nomination for Outstanding Female Actor in a Leading Role at the upcoming Actor Awards. The actress has a notable filmography, including "Marie Antoinette," "Insidious," and "Bridesmaids."
