Bold colours and long dress trains dominated the red carpet at the 27th annual Critics Choice Awards.
Ensembles of all shapes and sizes graced events held in Los Angeles and London, as Hollywood stars continued to relish the return of in-person ceremonies.

Ariana DeBose continued both her award success and run of stunning dresses in a sunflower yellow Carolina Herrera piece.
The star, who won best supporting actress for her portrayal of Anita in West Side Story, paid tribute to Rita Moreno who played the same role in the original 1961 film, who, she said, “made space for me to thrive beside you”.

The sisters presented the award for best drama series and thanked the cast of King Richard for the “perfect” portrayal of their family.

The star also styled her silver and black hair short, reminiscent of her famous X-Men character Storm.
