The Critics Choice Awards took place last night (March 13) to recognize excellence in film and television -- the last stop for TV's award season and for films before the Oscars. With a particularly electrifying year for visual media (“WandaVision”, “Squid Game”, and “Only Murders in the Building” all came out this past year, can you believe??), this was clearly no light task. Crowd television favorites, such as “Succession” and “Ted Lasso”, had a fruitful night, while the film categories celebrated subversive dramas like King Richard, The Power of the Dog, and The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

To mark the occasion, all of our favorite celebrities graced the red carpet in their finest evening wear, and we’re here to talk about some of last night’s best looks! 

1. Lady Gaga

Repping her film, for which she was nominted for Best Actress, Mother Monster wore a stunning gold Gucci gown with black satin detailing and a lace shrugged cover. The flared mermaid skirt is edged with the same black fabric, creating a seamless, standout look that captured everyone’s attention. 

2. Venus Williams 

Tennis superstar Venus Williams, on hand to support nominee King Richard which details her childhood, wore a beautiful, draping romper-gown of silver gossam fabrics, giving her an intoxicating, elegant presence. Complete with cutouts in strategic places, matching heels, and silver-leaf earrings, this Atelier Versace gown was a stunner. 

3. Rachel Zegler 

The West Side Story star wore a Dior masterpiece -- stunning, shimmering green filled out an accordion skirt and detailed braiding on the bodice. The multi-toned greens gave the enchanting Zegler a particularly beautiful night on the red carpet. 

4. Mandy Moore 

Don’t call it a comeback -- "This Is Us" star Mandy Moore wove toga-like elements into her Elie Saab cream and striped gown, bringing a beloved early-2010s trend back in the best way. With intricate jeweled details and a simple, dignified bare neck, Moore was the definition of captivating. 

5. Andrew Garfield 

Shimmering like a night sky full of stars, Best Actor nominee Andrew Garfield wore a deep satin suit, courtesy of Saint Laurent. Threaded through with shimmer and a matching shirt of brown and gold stripes, Garfield took the role of “movie star” quite literally. 

6. Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith 

Modern-day royalty, anyone? Best Actor winner Will and wife Jada looked positively stately in their pallette of browns, tarnished gold, and simple linens. Wearing Maison Rabih Kayrouz, the married pair looked elegant, commanding, and incredibly majestic on last night’s red carpet. 

7. Michaela Jaé Rodriguez

Best Actress in a Drama Series nominee Mj Rodriguez, wearing Valentino, highlighted her ever-enchanting presence with a bold, blue asymmetrical top and flared khaki slacks. This deceptively simple outfit creates vivid angles and a particularly mesmerizing silhouette.
