The Critics’ Choice Awards marked the start of the 2026 awards season, held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on Sunday, January 4th. The night celebrated the best in film and television from 2025. Last year delivered some of the best original films, adaptations, and screenplays on both the small and big screens. As a result, the 31st Critics’ Choice Awards is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year. Beyond all the awards, the red carpet did not disappoint, with stars arriving in a mix of sculptural pieces, and tailored looks.

Ariana Grande continued her love for archival fashion with a frothy, tulle-overlay gown by Alberta Ferretti, while Chase Infiniti chose a butter-yellow Louis Vuitton two-piece featuring a high-waisted opera skirt and built-in cape. Elle Fanning delivered with exquisite panache in a deep-plunging gold metal sequin gown from Ralph Lauren. Mia Goth arrived in a clean, luxurious two-toned silk dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline from Dior.

While some celebrities opted for minimalist looks, others chose to make a more dramatic impression on the red carpet, appearing in outfits with structural shapes with attractive details. Teyana Taylor for one paired a khaki Saint Laurent suit with a feathered boa and thigh-high boots, showing tailoring as a compelling alternative to evening gowns. Audrey Nuna embraced a black gown with circular shapes that dominated the red carpet.

The gentlemen added their own flair to the red carpet, mixing classic tailoring with modern touches. Timothée Chalamet kept it cool in a pinstripe Givenchy suit with a white button-down, archival pink floral silk tie and Chelsea boots. Michael B. Jordan opted for a deep red double-breasted suit.

The evening revealed a range of fashion approaches, proving that the Critics’ Choice Awards are not just about acknowledging performances, but also about celebrating style. Below are the highlights of best-dressed celebrities of the night.
