All the Brightest Looks to Hit the Blue Carpet at the 2018 Critics’ Choice Awards

Nicole Briese · Jan 11, 2018

Awards season is in full swing, and tonight, Hollywood is walking the red carpet at the Critic’s Choice Awards. Unlike the Golden Globes red carpet, which was awash in a sea of black ensembles in protest of sexual harassment, assault, and gender inequality, the (blue!) carpet tonight is proving to be all about color with an array of jewel tones of reds, pinks, bright blues, and patterns taking over. Scroll through to see some of the evening's most colorful looks, and keep checking back for updates as more stars arrive!
