Sophia Lillis wore a long‑sleeved floral gown with a maroon clutch 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. Sophia Lillis stepped into that frame in a dress that felt more grounded than glamorous.

Long sleeves, high neck, floor‑length. Pink and purple floral pattern scattered across the fabric, not loud, more like a steady rhythm. The waist pulled in, the skirt falling straight, no excess volume. Shoes visible — open‑toe heels, simple, functional. A maroon clutch in hand, small but deliberate, breaking the floral with a darker tone.

Hair styled clean, jewelry not obvious. The look leaned on print and shape, not sparkle. It felt lived‑in, almost casual for a red carpet, but that restraint gave it weight.

The critic’s note: Lillis’ choice was quiet, almost stubborn in its simplicity. A gown that didn’t chase glamour, instead relying on pattern and presence.

Santa Monica, January 4th. The carpet lined with logos — FIJI, milagro, Critics Choice Awards stamped across the backdrop. Hannah Einbinder stepped into that frame in a gown that felt both playful and strict.

Cream above, black below. Off‑shoulder cut, sleeves puffed wide, almost ballooning, fabric gathered with intention. The skirt fitted, long, floor‑length, pulling the look back into discipline. The contrast was sharp — softness against structure, volume against restraint.

Santa Monica, January 4th. The carpet lined with logos — FIJI, milagro, Critics Choice Awards stamped across the backdrop. Alicia Silverstone stepped into that frame in a gown that caught light with every shift.

Silver, strapless, floor‑length. The fabric shimmered, not glittery but metallic, like liquid folded into cloth. Draped at the waist, gathered at the hips, the design pulled the eye sideways before falling straight down. The neckline cut clean, shoulders bare, hair styled to keep the focus on the dress.
