After a two-month delay due to a surge in Covid-19 cases, the Critics’ Choice Awards returned to their usual January time slot. On Sunday evening, all eyes were on the red carpet as celebrities arrived at LA’s Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel.
Many attendees wore black gowns on a night of understated fashion, but there were plenty of eye-catching silhouettes among them, from Quinta Brunson’s figure-hugging Robert Wun gown to Angela Bassett’s striking Christian Siriano design.
Lily James wowed in a sheer black Oscar de la Renta gown with a large silk bow at the waist, nominated for her role in “Pam & Tommy.” There were also splashes of color, with Michelle Yeoh arriving in a strapless pink and black Carolina Herrera gown with dramatic sleeves and Julia Garner arriving in a sheer red Ferragamo gown over a Skims bandeau bra.
Metallics and sequins were popular elsewhere. Aubrey Plaza dazzled in a sparkly Louis Vuitton gown with colorful dégradé accents, while Thuso Mbedu dazzled in a dress with gold, silver, and bronze embellishments, also by the French label. Nominees Amanda Seyfried and Sheryl Lee Ralph of “Abbott Elementary” wore Dior and Jovana Louis gowns, respectively.
