For most people, a new year symbolizes a fresh start, which means it's as good a time as any to switch things up and kick things off with a completely different look. Take Quinta Brunson, for example. After spending the bulk of the last year wearing a chic pixie cut, the Abbott Elementary creator and star showed up to the 2026 Critic's Choice Awards wearing a super-long, '70s-style blowout.

Brunson attended the awards show wearing a baby pink Chloé suit that featured an oversized jacket and wide leg pants. She opted for natural glam (i.e., a filled-in brow, brown eye makeup, and subtle lash extensions) but went all out with her hair. For the event, she wore a long, jet black wig with that featured big, bold, loose waves which were styled by hairstylist Suzette Boozer.
