Olivia Rodrigo applied Lancome Lash Idole Curl Goddess Mascara while wearing a black leather jacket in the January 2026 campaign.
January 2026. A plain white background, no distractions. Olivia Rodrigo, head tilted slightly upward, mascara wand in hand. The rose‑gold tube marked “sweetener” catches the eye before the lashes do.
Her hair long, dark, falling straight past the shoulders. A black leather jacket with ribbed sleeves frames the gesture, adding weight to what is otherwise a delicate act. Silver earrings, rings — small details, but they glint enough to remind you this is a beauty look, not just a casual moment.
Chase Sui Wonders wore a red halter‑neck Miu Miu custom gown with styled hair at the 31st Annual Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica 2026.
Santa Monica, January 4th. The carpet lined with logos — FIJI, milagro, Critics Choice Awards stamped across the backdrop. Chase Sui Wonders stepped into that frame in a gown that didn’t need embellishment.
Red. Halter‑neck. Long, flowing. The neckline cut sharp, shoulders bare, hair styled to keep the focus on the dress. The fabric carried its own shine, not sequins, not glitter, just the natural sheen of the material. The silhouette was clean, direct, almost severe in its simplicity.
Ali Larter wore a sleeveless black gown with deep neckline and high slit at the 31st Annual Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica 2026.
Santa Monica, January 4th. The carpet lined with logos — FIJI, milagro, Critics Choice Awards stamped across the backdrop. Ali Larter walked into that frame in a gown stripped down to essentials.
Black, sleeveless, long. A deep V‑neckline cutting sharp down the front. The slit high, front‑center, breaking the line of fabric with a blunt gesture. Shoes barely visible, but the stance suggested pointed heels. Jewelry wasn’t obvious, no heavy sparkle. The look leaned on silhouette, not decoration.
It felt direct. No fuss, no extra layers. Just fabric, cut, and confidence. The gown’s simplicity carried its own kind of edge — not bombastic, not overworked. A reminder that restraint can be louder than embellishment.
The critic’s note: Larter’s choice was pared down but effective. A dress that didn’t chase trends, instead relying on shape and presence.
