Saldaña earned the prize over nominees Danielle Deadwyler, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Ariana Grande, Margaret Qualley and Isabella Rossellini

From the 'Emilia Pérez' actress, chic in Saint Laurent, to the whimsy of Ariana Grande's Dior and Aldis Hodge's beautifully fitted Louis Vuitton suit, the stars struck just the right balance of fun style without fuss.

Saint Laurent designer Vaccarello’s presence on the Critics Choice red carpet was expansive too, as nominee Nicole Kidman donned a more masculine, structured tailored suit from the spring 2025 collection to cosplay as her Babygirl co-star.
