Every weekend from now until mid-March, celebrities will flock from one major award show to the next. With the BAFTAs, the SAG Awards, and the Academy Awards still weeks away, first up are the 30th Annual Critics Choice Awards. Right now, the most notable names in film and television are making their grand entrances at the iconic Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. Before projects like Wicked, Anora, and Emilia Pérez battle for the most trophies, nominees and former winners alike are proving the award season style streak is still going strong.
One of the first glamorous guests to arrive was Joey King, who donned a corseted pastel blue gown cinched with a gray bow around her waist. Her OOTN is fresh from Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, which debuted back in October. Next, Rachel Brosnahan delivered her step-and-repeat. The Critics Choice Award winner spiced up a classic satin LBD with numerous cutouts and rhinestone-embellished shoulder pads. Then, all eyes went to Zoe Saldaña, who stunned in a classic crimson red gown. The nominated star accessorized her attire with a sleek black choker and silver diamond jewelry.
