(Red Carpet)
The Critics Choice Awards Was Packed With Glittering Gowns
What a night.
If last week’s Golden Globes red carpet was any indication, this year’s award season is positioned to be as glamorous as ever. Rivaling the Globes was the 2023 Critics Choice Awards, which took place on Sunday Jan. 15 at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Yes, the event, which honors achievements in film and television programming, brought out the brightest stars in come equally shining attire.
Leading the pack was Hollywood royal Julia Roberts who stunned in a glistening Schiaparelli gown that contrasted perfectly with her signature red hair. Also turning heads was Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson, who wore a Robert Wun creation that featured dramatic tulle detailing and a shimmering silver bodice. Keeping the glitter train moving was Viola Davis, who wore a rich maroon Valentino gown that shimmered from head to toe.
A departure from the glitter trend, Elle Fanning opted for a tiered ivory masterpiece from Alexander McQueen. Julia Garner also chose a matte finish, but still went bold in a fiery red Farragamo mini dress — with a matching Skims bra underneath, no less.
And the glamour doesn’t end there. Ahead, the most memorable style moments from the 2023 Critics Choice Awards we’ll be talking about all week. Take it all in.
