Best red carpet fashion at the 2023 Critics’ Choice Awards

See the best looks from LA’s Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel, where stars are gathering for the 28th Critics’ Choice Awards.

The Critics’ Choice Awards returns to its usual January time slot after 2022’s ceremony was delayed by over two months amid a surge of Covid-19 cases. And with style icons like Zendaya and Janelle Monáe among this year’s nominees — for their roles in “Euphoria” and “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” respectively — all eyes are on the red carpet as the stars arrive at LA’s Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel.

Last week’s Golden Globes, the first major awards of 2023, gave an indication of which movies and TV shows may appeal to Hollywood’s critics, with “Abbott Elementary” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” both winning big. It also suggested that this year’s celebrity evening wear may be all about black lace, ruffles and daring cutouts.

See below for some the best looks so far. This story will be updated throughout the evening.
