The Best Dressed Stars at the Critics Choice Awards 2026

The 2026 awards season is officially underway, and with that, stars are bringing all the glitz and glam to the red carpet.

Ariana Grande, Elle Fanning and more of Hollywood’s top actors attended the Critics Choice Awards 2026 to celebrate the best movies and shows, from Abbott Elementary to Wicked: For Good and everything in between.

This year’s event, which is hosted by Chelsea Handler, also drew Teyana Taylor, Jessica Biel, Meghann Fahy and more stars who stepped out in classic silhouettes, modern suiting, dangerously high slits and so much more.

Teyana Taylor

One Battle After Another nominee Teyana Taylor wore a full Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello ‘fit — from the double-breasted jacket with feathers, shirt and trousers to her gloves, striped wide tie and over-the-knee boots. Tiffany & Co. jewelry made her shine even brighter.

Ariana Grande

Wicked: For Good nominee Ariana Grande brought Glinda-coded glam in a custom pink satin off the shoulder Alberta Ferretti gown with a white embroidered tulle floor-length cape overlay embellished with silver floral appliqués.

Elle Fanning

Sentimental Value nominee Elle Fanning stole the show in a plunging liquid gold archival Ralph Lauren Collection gown and soft waves.

Danielle Brooks

Peacemaker nominee Danielle Brooks paired a figure-hugging, semi-sheer, off-the-shoulder gown with a choker necklace, loads of rings and a flippy ponytail.

Jessica Biel

The Better Sister nominee Jessica Biel quite literally brought sexy back to the ceremony in a sheer Lanvin gown that you have to see from every angle.

Ali Larter

Landman actress Ali Larter dared to bare in a sexy black Nina Ricci slip dress featuring a deep V-neckline, low back and a front thigh-high slit. Silver sandals completed the look.
