Nicole Kidman, like Angelina Jolie, might not be seen for the rest of the awards season. Nicole also got “snubbed” for SAG, BAFTA and Oscar nominations, so the Critics Choice Awards were possibly the last time we’d see her. What a final appearance though – she wore a fresh-off-the-runway look from Saint Laurent, a baggy pantsuit basically. My first reaction was “nah?” But it’s grown on me, and now I sort of love that she mixed it up. Her hair and makeup look great here as well.
Zoe Saldana also wore Saint Laurent, but we’ll be seeing more of her throughout the season. Zoe picked up the Critics Choice Award for supporting actress for Emilia Perez. The votes were mostly cast before Karla Sofia Gascon’s tweet-history mess, and this is one category which I could see a major “surprise” come Oscar night. As for her dress… it’s fine. It’s not actively bad. It does feel like a lot of women sort of phoned it in, style-wise, at the CCAs.
Naomi Watts wore one of the most hilariously bad looks I’ve ever seen from her. This is Prada, and at least it was “on trend” – a lot of women are wearing super-structural gowns and dresses right now, especially with this kind of terrible business around the waist and hips.
Monica Barbaro also wore Prada – a custom piece. It’s fine for the CCAs.
