Tonight, the 2026 Critics Choice Awards—taking place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California—kick off what is sure to be an eventful awards season to come. Over the next few months, top Hollywood stars will be making their way from Critics to the Golden Globes and the Oscars—all of them campaigning for top acting trophies along the way, of course.
The 31st annual Critics ceremony this evening is being hosted by comedian Chelsea Handler (for the fourth year in a row), and will celebrate some of the finest film and television performances of the year. On the docket of A-list nominees? Talents from some of the year’s buzziest movies, including Marty Supreme’s Timothée Chalamet, Hamnet’s Jessie Buckley, Bugonia’s Emma Stone, and Wicked: For Good’s Ariana Grande, among many more.
Better yet, all of these notable names will hit the red carpet before the big show begins—meaning classic Hollywood glamour is bound to be well in effect. The Critics Choice Awards have a history of seeing stars have fun with their looks: Compared to the Globes or Oscars, it is a decidedly lower-pressure awards show, meaning celebrities are more likely to experiment. Last year, for instance, stars like Nicole Kidman opted for sleek Saint Laurent suiting, while Michelle Yeoh made a statement in her sporty Balenciaga gown.
What will the 2026 nominees wear this evening? Below, see what the stars are wearing to the 2026 Critics Choice Awards in real time—and be sure to check back for Vogue’s Best Dressed list from the night.
