Magpies rejoice, award season is officially here, and ringing in the festivities is none other than The Critics’ Choice Awards 2026— a quieter affair, yet no less exciting than the Oscars or Golden Globes.
Held in Santa Monica, California, the evening saw plenty of exciting big wins, from All Her Fault’s Sarah Snook, to Adolescence’s Erin Doherty, and lest we forget Timothee Chalamet, plus his sweet nod to girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
Of course, no Hollywood awards ceremony would be complete without its share of outstanding fashion. The red carpet showcased a buzz-worthy mix of talked-about moments. Spanning archival vintage pieces, franchise-defining colours (Glinda-pink and Mart supreme-orange, we’re looking at you), and understated sartorial custom creations.
If last night’s ceremony is any indication, then it’s safe to say we’re in for a stellar award season ahead. Below, find our top 12 must-see looks from the evening.
