The Critics Choice Awards runs the gamut of stars of the small screen and the big. As such, it makes for a carpet of epic proportions and variation.
From the unusual to the breathtaking, here are the best dressed on this year's red carpet.
Elle Fanning
Nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in The Great, Elle Fanning is always a winner on the red carpet. Today she turns heads bound in soft gold glitter with a bold lip and big skirt.
South Korean model-turned-actress Hoyeon Jung had a memorable, albeit somewhat minor, role in Netflix hit Squid Game. Today she's certainly gone for memorable in this gold Louis Vuitton number with a space-age bustle.
Selena Gomez
Actress and singer Selena Gomez hit the red carpet in a jaw-dropping red gown that was fitted to perfection and embellished with jewels. She paired the look with a simple up-do and managed to nail understated elegance.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith
Nominated for Best Actor for his role in King Richard, Will and wife Jada are a regal pair whose looks pay a perfect compliment to each other by way of tonal metallic hues.
Caitlin Thompson
Star of Best Drama Series nominated show This is Us, Caitlin Thompson is a pop of colour in this fresh green dress complete with a full skirt and bold bow.
Joshua Jackson and Jodi Turner-Smith
While Jackson is nominated for his work on crime series Dr Death it's his sharp suit and the exquisite blue number worn by his partner, Jodi Turner-Smith, that has our attention today. Best dressed couple by a landslide.
Actress and Critics Choice presenter Angelica Ross is statuesque in this sculptural gown of peach sparkles, topped with a veritable crown of an up 'do.
Mandy Moore
Looking like a Grecian goddess, This is Us actress Mandy Moore stepped onto the red carpet and oozed Hollywood glam with an ethereal twist.
Jared Leto
If there is one thing you can always count on Jared Leto for, it's nailing a red carpet look. The 2014 Critics Choice Award winner donned sunglasses on the carpet, paired with a structured cream coloured suit and matching low waistcoat.
Margaret Qually
Daughter of Andie MacDowell and star of Netflix show, Maid, Margaret Qually is pretty as a picture in this soft pink and floral midi dress with a big bow and delicate frills.
Jude Hill
He's the little breakout star of lauded film Belfast and today Jude Hill is certainly a star on the red carpet too. His blue suit and matching patent blue shoes cement his place amongst the best dressed in Hollywood.
Jamie Dornan
Actor Jamie Dornan is used to showcasing 50 shades of Gray, but on the Critics Choice Red Carpet, he instead opted for two striking shades of blue.
Taika Waititi and Rita Ora
Giving Joshua Jackson and Jodi Turner-Smith a run for their money for the best-dressed couple, the Kiwi director and his pop star girlfriend are still going strong. Rita stuns in deep pink velvet with daring cut-outs, while Waititi pops in a monochromatic look.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga managed two awards ceremonies in one night and for that, the House of Gucci actress is a winner in our books.
Jane Campion
Kiwi director Jane Campion is the queen of cool, pairing a velvet look dress with gold lace-up flats and giving off an enchanting vibe in the process
