Just four days into the new year, Hollywood\u2019s 2026 awards season kicked off in chic but relatively pared-back style at the 31st Critics Choice Awards on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

The annual ceremony is considered a bellwether for the Oscars<\/a>, with the industry closely monitoring how hotly tipped movies like \u201cSinners\u201d and \u201cHamnet\u201d perform among the Critics Choice Association\u2019s (CCA) hundreds of members. The star-studded awards show also offers a glimpse at the fashion trends that may unfold between now and the Academy Awards in mid-March.<\/p>\n

If that is the case, we may be in for two months of sleek dark gowns, neutral palettes and womenswear spins on classic men\u2019stailoring.<\/p>\n

Organizers\u2019 decision to line the entrance to Santa Monica\u2019s Barker Hangar with a black carpet, rather than a red one, set a somewhat somber tone \u2014 one that was matched by an abundance of black suits and dresses. Playfulness was expressed in other ways, however.<\/p>\n

The voice cast of \u201cKPop Demon Hunters<\/a>\u201d showed how to put an adventurous spin on the monochromatic trend, particularly Audrey Nuna in a voluminous Marc Jacobs circle shift dress. The likes of Teyana Taylor and Keri Russell, meanwhile, turned to sharp suiting, with the latter among several attendees opting for reworked tuxedos, her perfectly cropped jacket adorned with a statement brooch.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d star Odessa A\u2019zion oozed old-school goddess glamour in a gown by Dubai-based label OTT; Chase Infiniti, nominated for her performance in \u201cOne Battle After Another,\u201d stunned in a sleeveless, pale yellow Louis Vuitton two-piece; and Elle Fanning went archival in a shimmering vintage dress by Ralph Lauren.<\/p>\n
