From HoYeon's Louis Vuitton lampshade dress to Selena Gomez's dramatic red cape gown, the 27th Critics' Choice Awards are a fashionable affair as usual. Back with a physical red carpet and hosted by Taye Diggs and Nicole Byer at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City, CA, the event is already bringing out the best of celebrity style as stars and stylists bring their A games.

Halle Berry and Billy Crystal will have a special night in particular, as they will be honored with the sixth annual #SeeHer Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award, respectively. The presenters feature an all-star lineup, including filmmaker Ava DuVernay; tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams; and actors Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mandy Moore, and Indya Moore.

Last year, the event took place remotely, but the stars still wore head-turning ensembles for the virtual red carpet. With this year's in-person return, the fashion delivered on the bold, colorful, and effortless glamour we've come to expect.
