Best red carpet fashion at the 2023 Critics’ Choice Awards

From Michelle Yeoh to Lily James, see the best-dressed celebrities at the 28th Critics’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles.

On a night of understated fashion, many attendees opted for black gowns — but there were plenty of eye-catching silhouettes among them, from the asymmetric ruffles of Quinta Brunson’s figure-hugging Robert Wun dress to Angela Bassett’s striking Christian Siriano design.

Elsewhere, metallics and sequins proved popular. “The White Lotus” actor Aubrey Plaza impressed in a sparkly Louis Vuitton gown with colorful dégradé accents, while “The Woman King” star Thuso Mbedu wore a dress with gold, silver and bronze embellishments, also by the French label. Nominees Amanda Seyfried and Sheryl Lee Ralph, of “Abbott Elementary,” both opted for golden gowns by Dior and Jovana Louis, respectively.

In a trend seen across recent red carpets, Elle Fanning and Janelle Monáe were among several stars to wear cutout dresses.

The evening’s men embraced a variety of shades, from Andrew Garfield’s camel-colored Zegna suit to Henry Golding’s fetching dark teal outfit. Ke Huy Quan, Billy Eichner and Harry Shum Jr. were among numerous attendees to arrive in shades of maroon, on a night that saw many male guests eschew the conventional black tie dress code.
