Welcome, at last, to the 31st Annual Critics Choice Awards, and the official start of the 2026 red carpet fashion season.
After a holiday break filled with trips to Aspen, Hermès shopping sprees, and a few New Years' naked dresses, A-listers are clocking back in to the red carpet circuit at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. Here, stars of the year's biggest films and TV shows will greet host Chelsea Handler and settle in for three hours of awards honoring top performances as selected by the Critics Choice Association.
