Watch: Best Dressed Celebs at the Critics Choice Awards: Ariana Grande, Teyana Taylor & More

The stars are ready to shine at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.

Take, for instance, Ariana Grande's wickedly chic baby pink Alberta Ferretti gown that dazzled as she hit the red carpet Jan. 4 at the Barker Hangar at Santa Monica Airport. 

After all, with the "we can't be friends" singer nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for Wicked: For Good, she was sure to channel Glinda the Good Witch at the 31st annual event airing on E! and USA Network. (See every star here.)

Meanwhile, Noah Schnapp paid homage to Stranger Things following its series finale, stepping out of the Upside Down in a maroon John Varvatos suit featuring two-tone peak lapels, adorned with a spiral Chaumet brooch.

Teyana Taylor—who is nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for One Battle After Another—was sure to step onto the red carpet in style. In fact, she stunned in a Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello tan double-breasted blazer, matching trousers and thigh-high latex boots. She completed her ensemble with black gloves, a billowing fur stole and sparkling Tiffany & Co. jewelry.

For Teyana, the nomination was overwhelming "in the best way."

"My spirit is MOVED," she wrote on Instagram last month. "Humbled, grateful and emotional."
