To hand embroider the one-shoulder Louis Vuitton designer dress that Michelle Williams showed off on the red carpet of the 28th edition of the Critics' Choice Awards at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, it took 980 hours and 22,350 sequins. For Danielle Deadwyler's, also Louis Vuitton (a true work of art), 250 hours were spent assembling it and another 340 hours embroidering it.
Just to admire so many riots of pure gold and silver, sartorial marvels, it is worth focusing on the roundup of precious looks spotted at the important awards ceremony for the best film and television performances of the year.
After last week's Golden Globes , the Critics' Choice Awards allowed the glamor to continue with voluminous silhouettes (which, in particular, proved to be the successful trend of the evening), bold ruffles, strategic cut outs, large trains and lots of , lots of sparkle (look at Julia Roberts in Schiaparelli and Kate Hudson in Oscar de La Renta).
Having archived last year's forced break, the Golden Globes red carpet in Beverly Hills once again shone through the stylish performances of the celebs. In balance between traditional Hollywood glamor and innovative silhouettes, in a whirlwind of astonishing nuances, sequins and decorations, spotlights on the most stellar outfits
Between past and avant-garde , Elle Fanning 's 18th century silhouette wrapped in a tulle dress by Alexander McQueen complete with a wide fan-shaped skirt. Anya Taylor-Joy, meanwhile, stunned in a light brown Dior dress that only Maria Grazia Chiuri could dream of and make. Effortlessly cool Cate Blanchett (absent at the Golden Globes the previous week) showed her interpretation of Sharon Stone's iconic look at the 1998 Oscars with collared shirt and balloon skirt in natural shades, as did Amy Brenneman in Tony Ward Couture.
Kerry Washington enchanted with the Giorgio Armani Privé dress with sweetheart neckline and colorful decorations while, on the other hand, many focused on a classic that always conquers: black with which, the stars know, you can't go wrong .
For the red carpet in Los Angeles, the actress decides to definitely change her style. No more black but a long powder pink dress designed by Gucci. Different look but the final effect is always the same: chic and impeccable
On the men's side, from Andrew Garfield to Jeremy Allen White, a color palette for suits and tuxedos reminded us of how far we are from the times when only bow ties and double-breasted jackets existed for men: from shades of blue to chocolate , without ever going over the top, but only to remember that the wardrobe for him, even if formal, has undergone an upgrade .
So, grab the popcorn and enjoy: in the gallery all the looks of the evening.
