Critics Choice Awards 2025: The 10 best dressed Getty Images

Last night saw the Critics Choice Awards finally take place, having been delayed from their original scheduling due to the Los Angeles wildfires which were raging just a few weeks ago. The event, which is held in Santa Monica, celebrated the best in film and television, honouring movies including The Brutalist, The Substance and Anora, while Hacks and Shōgun took home television prizes.

Perhaps a slightly more low-key event than the likes of the Golden Globes and the Oscars, the Critics Choice Awards still always offers up plenty of red-carpet drama. This year saw established names such as Demi Moore, Naomi Watts and Angelina Jolie excel when it came to their wardrobes, while a number of up-and-comers also turned heads for all the right reasons.

Below, we round up our 10 favourite looks from the evening, from structured Louis Vuitton to ladylike Prada and a slinky Saint Laurent.


Demi Moore in Schiaparelli
