As award shows return to their normal format, celebrities return their dazzling red carpet looks, pulling out all stops to stun in breathtaking couture. This weekend saw the Critics Choice Awards take place in Los Angeles’ Fairmont Century Plaza, while the 75th EE British Academy Film Awards were at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Scroll to see our favourite looks from the red carpet at these two prestigious ceremonies.
Caitlin Thompson
The This Is Us star wore a Jason Wu vivid green ballgown for the Critics Choice Awards. The strapless ballgown left her shoulders bare. Thompson pulled up her hair in a low ponytail, allowing the exaggerated bow on the bodice of the gown to shine.
Elle Fanning
The Great actress wore a golden strapless ballgown by Oscar de la Renta. Delineating her waist, the gown expanded into a poufy skirt embroidered with sequins. Fanning accessorised the sparkly ensemble with simple studs and a gold bracelet, alongside a bold red lip with winged eyeliner.
Halle Berry
Actress Halle Berry attended the starry night to receive her SeeHer Award, an honour given to women who advocate gender equality, portray characters with authenticity, defy stereotypes and push boundaries. Berry wore a black velvet Dolce & Gabbana suit over a white mesh corset top. Her hairstyle is what drew most attention due to its parallels to the one worn by her character Storm from X-Men.

Lady Gaga
The inimitable Lady Gaga attended both the Critics Choice Awards as well as the BAFTAs, both in eye-catching ensembles. Nominated for her performance in House of Gucci, the actress turned up in none other than Gucci. The gown featured a black bra like top and was combined with a sheer lace shrug. A sweeping gold skirt with jewel details at the waist completed the daring getup.

Looking ethereal in an off-white Elie Saab Haute Couture gown, Mandy Moore took to the red carpet. Knot details the straps, a plunging neckline and sheer white drapes along the side, gave the look a bohemian feel.
