Critics Choice Awards 2025’s unforgettable appearance: Ariana Grande, Demi Moore and more

The question of what celebrities will carry at an award show, always well before any ceremony. But it took a new meaning ahead of the 30-Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California, on Friday: After postponing the event twice due to the Los Angeles fire fire.

How can this decision affect the fashion selection of TV and film stars present? Would they be more risky? More relaxed?

When people began to arrive, it soon became clear that the absence of TV cameras on the carpet had not prevented the most from taking big style swings. For countless reasons – most of them good – these were 14 looks among the most memorable from the Critics Choice Awards.

Instead of a dress, the actress “Lioness” and “Babygirl” went with a wide-shouldered Saint Laurent jacket, high waist trousers and a polka-dot slip, an ensemble that elicited men’s wear of old Hollywood.

The “evil” star flowed down the rug in a Dior Couture dress with a tenta-like fringe hanging from its hanger skirt.

The “Sing Sing” actor, a noted Clotheshorse, is not content with a classic three -part suit: his slim monochromatic look consisted of at least five things, including a lavish coat killed suavely over his shoulders.

The “Shogun” actress made a strong case for tube -top as formal wear in a windy red Louis Vuitton — ensemble, which also included a pleated capelet and a floating skirt.

In a navy Blue Schiaparelli Couture dress with strips of fabric coming apart to the bottom, the actress, a star of the “fabric”, looked like a glamorous beetle throwing his exoskele.

There was something both creepy and sweet about the actor’s Chanel Couture look of floral print bustier dress shrouded in courtyards and courtyards of black tulle.

The married actors, in a Dior Ball dress and a Dior Tuxedo, looked like they were being crowned to the queen and the king of a particular high school dance. That was not the only reason why Ms. Meester and Mr. Brody, a star of “No Wanting this,” was a sentimental view of the blanket: The married actors were among those whose homes were destroyed by Los Angeles Wildfires.

So the “Maria” actor’s lace Elie Saab dress a little out like an antique tablecloth? Yes. Did she pull it off? Yes?

As enticing as the construction of the “Hacks” actor’s Louis Vuitton dress was the grace and the poise on which she wore it.

Rubfles, a bow and crystals were just some of the components of the actor’s miu miu dress who had a girl DIY charm.

Soft curves and a diaphanous silver -colored substance were elements of the “evil” acting dress that made it look like liquid metal.

In an artistic combination of sculptural statements, necklace, woven shawl and pleated skirt, the director and author could have gone from the award ceremony to an exhibition opening.

The comedian and actress paired her fiery mini -dress with a clutch with what seemed to be two DS in the pink and orange colors associated with a particular donut chain – the same chain that Just released training suits To promote his new campaign for the Super Bowl Lix on Sunday.
