Santa Monica, January 4th. Black carpet, backdrop stamped with FIJI, milagro, Critics Choice Awards logos. Keri Russell stood there in a look that felt sharp, pared down, almost stubborn in its simplicity.
Black suit, tailored, formal. Jacket cut clean, trousers long. Underneath, cropped white top — blunt contrast, casual edge against the suit’s structure. A black clutch in hand, small but deliberate.
Jessie Buckley wore a cream satin draped top with black pants and Boucheron jewelry at the 31st Annual Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica 2026.
Santa Monica, January 4th. Black carpet, backdrop stamped with FIJI, milagro, Critics Choice Awards logos. Jessie Buckley stood there in a look that felt both sharp and soft.
Cream satin top, sleeveless, fabric draped across the front in folds that looked almost improvised. Dramatic detail, but not overwhelming. Black pants underneath, tailored, grounding the outfit with clean lines. The contrast was blunt — light against dark, softness against structure.
Accessories mattered. Boucheron Vendome Lisere solitaire ring, subtle but steady. Lavalliere Diamants pendant earrings, catching light in fragments. Jewelry that didn’t shout, just flickered. Hair styled simple, no fuss. Shoes hidden beneath the trousers.
It wasn’t loud. More like a quiet refusal to chase glitter. Dior’s Pre‑Fall 2026 design carried presence through fabric and cut, not embellishment. A look that leaned on restraint, not excess.
The critic’s note: Buckley’s choice was deliberate. A mix of satin folds and tailored pants, jewelry punctuating without distraction. A red carpet moment built on balance.

Black suit, tailored, formal. White shirt underneath, crisp, collar visible. The outfit leaned into structure, not decoration. Emerald jewelry — necklace, earrings, rings — small bursts of color against the monochrome. Shoes hidden beneath the trousers. Hair styled natural, no fuss.
