Three. Frustrating. Years. That’s how much time has passed since the Sundance Film Festival last held an in-person edition in Park City, Utah. (Put it this way: The opening night selection was the Taylor Swift documentary, Miss Americana, which chronicled the making of her 2018 album of Reputation. So, like, ancient history.) Blame the pandemic, of course. Because of safety fears, attendees couldn’t be in the room for the premiere of the eventual Oscar Best Picture winner, Coda, or cheer along for Questlove and the first screening of his own future Oscar pic, Summer of Soul. No sightings of a random Real Housewives star on the bustling Main Street. No napping during 8:30 AM screenings. No huffing and puffing walking in the snow in the frigid weather at high altitudes. No nothing.
The Best Beauty Looks at the 2023 Critics’ Choice Awards
17.01.2023 - 02:41 / usmagazine.com
Glam, Bam! The 28th Critics’ Choice Awards took place on Sunday, January 15, at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles and the red carpet did not disappoint. See every look here!
While stars brought their style A-game — there was no shortage of sparkle thanks to Kate Hudson in silvery Oscar de la Renta, Aubrey Plaza in a custom sequins Louis Vuitton number and Anya Taylor-Joy clad in a crystal-studded Dior — the beauty looks brought some over-the-top drama, too.
Bold lips were on full display. Take, fo instance, Julia Garner, who showed off an elevated, decidedly modern glamour, thanks to a fiery red hue created by makeup maestro Hung Vanngo. Yellowstone stunner Kelsey Asbille hit the red carpet in a Y2K beauty look, complete with a black cherry pout.
Glowing complexions took center stage, with several celebs sticking with the ‘cloud skin’ trend first seen on the Golden Globes red carpet. Lily James, Quinta Brunson, Madeline Cline and more stars stunned thanks to luminous looks. And you wouldn’t believe the affordable products that imparted Cline’s look! Check out her full how-to here!
As for hair, updated takes on ’40s-inspired waves (as seen on Niecy Nash, Elle Fanning and Sadie Sink) as well as soft, undone updos (worn by Amanda Seyfried and Phoebe Dynevor) had a moment. In fact, tresses worn up took myriad forms. Quinta Brunson rocked an extreme top-knot while Taylor-Joy showed off a looped one. Plaza, Angela Bassett and Stephanie Hsu all wore slicked back styles with various partings.
Indeed, the Critics’ Choice Awards looks proved that anything goes — and all signs point to gorgeous! Scroll through to see the most beautiful looks of the night and the products used to create each moment!

Critics Choice Awards Go Big For ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’, But What Does It Mean For Oscar?
With the lively, fun and star-packed Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night at the Fairmont Century Plaza ballroom (and accompanying viewing party upstairs that elegantly handled the 300 members and guests who lost the organization’s ticket lottery and couldn’t get a seat) now history, there is really nothing between it and the January 24 announcement of Oscar nominations. With the nationally televised show airing 48 hours before Oscar balloting closes (Tuesday at 5 p.m. PT) though, its influence could be strong, especially for moving speeches from the likes of Brendan Fraser; an impressive sweep of top categories Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, Supporting Actor (Ke Huy Quan becoming the runaway train of acting winners thus far this season) for Everything Everywhere All At Once; and among other memorable moments, the great Guillermo del Toro looking to continue sweeping up every animated trophy in sight.
