What to wear when picking up awards season’s first major acting gongs? For Timothée Chalamet, it’s Marty Mauser-core. For Owen Cooper and Jacob Elordi, it’s all about custom Bottega Veneta—and Owen Cooper turned it out at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards in the night’s best leathers.
The young British star of the hit TV series Adolescence scooped the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television. At 16-years-old, Cooper had already made history as the youngest male Emmy winner last year, and has made it once again, with his Critics Choice win. Cooper beat out his co-star Ashley Walters, but the show collected plenty of victories across the night—Stephen Graham won in the Best Actor category, while Best Supporting Actress went to Erin Doherty.
Cooper, who was also presenting, wore a buttery black, padded leather jacket with a collar that featured the house’s Intrecciato weave and a zig-zagging pattern on the placket. Cooper paired it with tailored black pants and softly square-toed black leather shoes. It was sleek and understated, leaning on the quietly exquisite, craft-focused designs of the house led by Louise Trotter. Bottega has been a go-to for Cooper, wearing the house’s signature leathers and impeccable suits, and attending the spring 2026 show in Milan.
