Amber Heard takes flight in a butterfly suit at the 2020 Film Independent Spirit Awards... after audio reveals her admitting to hitting Johnny Depp

She was supporting her co-star Elisabeth Moss, who documented a punk rocker's breakdown in the brutal Her Smell.

And Amber Heard looked stylish in a fluttering butterfly suit Saturday afternoon at the Film Independent Spirit Awards in Los Angeles.

The 33-year-old Aquaman star made her appearance shortly after audio recordings obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com revealed that she admitted to hitting her ex-husband Johnny Depp during their toxic and violent marriage.

Amber's slim-cut brown Fendi suit was decorated with hypnotizing black and white stripes that framed gray butterfly designs, and it had baggy, scrunched up sleeves.

The outfit featured flared slacks that covered up her footwear, and she accessorized with Bulgari necklaces and bracelets.

Amber looked playful at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, despite her castmate Elisabeth losing out to Renée Zellweger for Judy, about the legendary star and singer Judy Garland.

The Rum Diary actress was embroiled in more drama surrounding her tumultuous relationship with Johnny Depp earlier this month after recordings emerged of her admitting to hitting while spouting the threat, 'See how many people believe you.'

Heard wrote a Washington Post op-ed in December 2018 that appeared to accuse Depp of abusing her during their marriage, though his name was never mentioned.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star launched a $50 million defamation suit against her in early 2019, which is still ongoing.

In the newly released recordings, Amber attempts to downplay blows she struck against the actor and musician, while admitting to hitting him in the process.

'I'm sorry that I didn't, uh, uh, hit you across the face in a proper slap, but I was hitting you, it was not punching you. Babe, you're not punched,' she said to her then-husband.

'I don't know what the motion of my actual hand was, but you're fine, I did not hurt you, I did not punch you, I was hitting you.'

She also called Depp a 'baby' and told him to 'grow the f*** up.'

The recording came from an informal two-hour 'therapy' session recorded consensually on Heard's cell phone and supplied to DailyMail.com by a well-placed source.

'I left last night. Honestly, I swear to you because I just couldn't take the idea of more physicality, more physical abuse on each other,' a clearly distressed Depp said on the recording.

'Because had we continued it, it would have gotten f**king bad. And baby, I told you this once. I'm scared to death we are a f**king crime scene right now.'

A later recording featured Heard suggesting a court would never believe that she had hurt Depp because she was only a '115lb woman.'
