Awards season has kicked off with the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, and multiple stars nabbed shiny trophies. Sarah Snook won Best Actress in a Limited Series for All Her Fault, the Sinners cast won Best Casting Ensemble, and Jacob Elordi took home a statue for Best Supporting Actor in Frankenstein. But there’s one part of the awards show that’s much more subjective — the outfits the celebrities show up in.
There were some major wins on the red carpet, with Mia Goth stepping out in Dior and Ariana Grande channelling her inner-Glinda in a beaded Alberta Ferretti number. We’ve rounded up the best looks from the Critics Awards 2026 carpet, from classic Hollywood old glamour to more daring dresses.
