And just like that, another year has come and gone, making way for a marathon award season. And while the Golden Globes is the typical kickoff, 2026 is off to a running start with the 31st Annual Critics Choice Awards. As the name suggests, this particular star-studded event differs from the Oscars and SAG Awards in that it is voted on by the Critics Choice Association, made up of film and TV critics and journalists. Indeed, the consensus-based show includes the favorited stars and programs of the last year, which is why the red carpet is as glam and highly anticipated as the show’s highly publicized counterparts. Celebrity attendees truly lean into the stylish assignment, and this year was no different.
The night’s looks ran the gamut, with sleek suiting being a preferred option for the likes of Quinta Brunson. Some went for traditional glam: Hacks star Hannah Einbinder, for example, arrived in a puffed-sleeved column gown from Louis Vuitton. Frankenstein’s Mia Goth also followed suit in an off-the-shoulder fitted silhouette from Dior. But it wasn’t all seriousness. Hacks duo Paul W. Downs and Megan Stalter hilariously cosplayed Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner’s recent coordinating orange outfits from the Marty Supreme press tour.
Ahead, a full rundown of the best celebrity looks from the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.
