From Ariana Grande to Odessa A'zion, Hollywood's best and brightest stars dressed to the nines for the occasion.&nbsp;

Awards season has officially begun&mdash;and along with it, a string of ultra-chic, glamorous red carpet moments by all of the cultural zeitgeist's favorite stars. The first ceremony to kick off the season? None other than the 31st Annual Critics Choice Awards.
Though nominations ranged across the latest and greatest releases in both film and TV, they included many of this year's most popular&mdash;and already critically beloved&mdash;picks, including Marty Supreme,&nbsp;Sinners, Hamnet, Jay Kelly, Hacks, All Her Fault, The Pitt, and more. In support of their own projects, Hollywood's biggest stars stepped out to the ceremony clad in looks ranging from slyly tongue-in-cheek to classically sophisticated.&nbsp;
On the 2026 Critics Choice Awards red carpet, a sea of black and white looks made a statement. Sartorial icons, including Michelle Randolph, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/mckenna-grace-mason-thames-regretting-you-movie-actor-dating" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mckenna Grace</a>, Jessie Buckley, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/everything-to-know-about-hacks-season-5-release-date-streaming-cast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hannah Einbinder</a>, opted for gowns that incorporated both neutral hues in classic colorblock patterns.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, actors like Sarah Snook and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/quinta-brunson-receives-philadelphia-key-to-the-city-pixie-cut" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quinta Brunson</a> sported variations on suited styles. The&nbsp;Abbott Elementary&nbsp;creator and star went for a light, monochromatic jacket and trousers, paired with a lace-trimmed top and dazzling Brilliant Earth jewelry, adding a romantic, delicate touch to the structured silhouette. Fresh off her Broadway run&mdash;and a major role in All Her Fault&mdash;Snook wore a classic, sharply tailored black jacket and trousers by Akris, which she styled alongside an elegant array of glittering Chopard jewelry.&nbsp;
Of course, with a selection of the world's greatest entertainers and artists in the room, the red carpet wasn't immune from theatrics. Paul W. Downs and Megan Stalter of Hacks took to the carpet in a coordinated ensemble any chronically online pop culture fan would recognize&mdash;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/timothee-chalamet-kylie-jenner-breakup-split-rumors-marty-supreme-premiere-age-children-married-engaged-pr-relationship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Timoth&eacute;e Chalamet and Kylie Jenner's&nbsp;Marty Supreme&nbsp;orange Chrome Hearts looks</a>, worn at a premiere of the film in December 2025.&nbsp;
