Who said red carpet dressing was boring?
Critics Choice Awards StyleCritics Choice Awards Style

Another day, another awards ceremony – and we’re not mad about it. The 28th Critics Choice Awards are underway at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, with Hollywood’s finest turning out to celebrate the best in film and TV. Consider the Critics Choice the fun young sister to the Golden Globes’ classic glamour – between the bedazzled gowns, vibrant colours and bold suiting, you’re bound to find some serious style inspo for your next event. These are the trends we’ll be tapping when our next invite arrives in the mail…

Yellow

From vibrant sunshine yellow to soft lemon sorbet, the stars weren’t afraid to stand out in this decidedly summery shade. Amber Ruffin’s embellished yellow suit is an instant winner in our books.

Bare Shoulders

Whether it’s an off-the-shoulder neckline, asymmetric bodice or classic strapless gown, there’s no denying that stars love a bare shoulder on the red carpet. We love Amber Midthunder and Laura Prepon proving why the one-shoulder look isn’t going anywhere.

Sparkles

If you can’t dial the glamour up to megawatt levels on the red carpet, then when can you? Celebs like Aubrey Plaza, Viola Davis and Rhea Seehorn need no notes, making top-to-toe sequins look effortless. Subtle more your style? Take cues from Sadie Sink and Jennifer Coolidge, both injecting a hint of glimmer into their respective black dresses.

Coloured Suits

Let the men of the Critics Choice Awards inspire you (or your plus one) to ditch the basic black suit once and for all. Adam Scott makes a strong case for layering in a grey roll-neck and silver shawl lapel, while Ke Huy Quan crushes the brief in burgundy velvet.

Sheer

Sheer dresses still reign supreme, with stars opting to bare a little (or a little more) in swathes of black, nude and gold. Thinking sheer for your next formal event? Balance the look with a maxi hemline, full skirt or strong, structured detailing.
