Kate Walsh - Spirit Awards 2011

Kate Walsh attends the 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards at Santa Monica Beach on Saturday (February 26) in Santa Monica, Calif.

The 43-year-old actress paired a blush colored one-shoulder cocktail dress from Max Mara with Casadei pumps, a Chanel bag, and Piaget jewels.

Kate and Private Practice co-star Taye Diggs hung out all afternoon, sipping Jameson Irish Whiskey cocktails.

The night before, Kate hit the Women in Film Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party at Soho House.

Though she won’t be at Sunday’s Academy Awards, Kate tweeted she’ll be having a “lil’ viewing partay” then heading out!
