Postponed twice due to the wildfires that devastated LA last month, the Critics Choice Awards finally got underway in LA on Friday evening.
Held at Santa Monicaâs Barker Hangar, just a few miles from the fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades neighborhood, this yearâs ceremony occupied an unusual Friday evening slot. The red carpet was also an atypical affair, with organizers earlier announcing the cancelation of the customary televised pre-awards live show.
The men got in on the trend too, with the likes of Randall Park and Ewan McGregor wearing black T-shirts under dark formal jackets.
But guests also brought pops of color and sparkle. Lupita Nyongâoâs custom Chanel gown featured a bright floral bustier visible through otherwise somber black tulle. Elsewhere, both Zoe Saldaña and âShÅgunâ star Moeka Hoshi stunned in elegant red gowns, while Angelina Jolie and Ariana Grande impressed in nude dresses by Elie Saab and Dior, respectively.
See below for some of the red carpetâs best looks.
