Critics Choice: Teyana Taylor, Ariana Grande & More Best Dressed Stars

The stars are ready to shine at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.

Ariana Grande stunned in a stylish, light pink Alberta Ferretti gown when she walked the red carpet on January 4th at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

Ariana Grande, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Wicked: For Good, is expected to bring her Glinda the Good Witch persona to the 31st annual awards show, which will be broadcast on TopMob and USA Network. You can find photos of all the stars who attended here.

After the final episode of Stranger Things, Noah Schnapp celebrated the show with a stylish outfit. He wore a maroon John Varvatos suit with unique two-toned lapels and a spiral-shaped Chaumet brooch, seemingly referencing the show’s otherworldly dimension, the Upside Down.

Teyana Taylor, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in One Battle After Another, made a striking appearance on the red carpet. She wore a stylish tan Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello suit – a double-breasted blazer and matching trousers – paired with dramatic thigh-high latex boots. Black gloves, a fluffy fur stole, and sparkling Tiffany & Co. jewelry completed her look.

Besides walking the red carpet, the celebrities are also competing for awards in a variety of categories at the show, which is hosted by Chelsea Handler. Ariana, for example, was thrilled to receive her first-ever nomination.

She expressed her gratitude on Instagram, thanking the Critics Choice Awards for recognizing her work and including her among such talented performers. She shared her admiration for the films and the actresses involved, adding that she felt deeply honored.

For Teyana, the nomination was overwhelming “in the best way.”

“My spirit is MOVED,” she wrote on Instagram last month. “Humbled, grateful and emotional.”

Being involved with the film @onebattleafteranothermovie felt like being part of something truly special – a story made with passion, dedication, and a lot of love. I’m so grateful to everyone on the OBAA team for making me feel welcome, encouraging me, and helping me improve. I really appreciate this opportunity.
