Awards season is officially back in full swing after two years of virtual ceremonies and pared-down red carpets due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and stars are certainly making up for lost time stepping out in head-turning looks week after week. The latest stop-and-stare styles came on the 2022 Critics Choice Awards red carpet Sunday night. There were opulent capes (courtesy Mandy Moore), dramatic trains (we see you Serena Williams and Indya Moore) as well as risqué cutouts (Lady Gaga) and the always-fitting princess style ballgown (Elle Fanning). In fact, there were so many haute couture creations and standout suits, that tonight’s best dressed list is a long (but good!) one. Check out every can’t-miss moment, below.
