TALKING FASHION: Best & Worst Red Carpet Looks of the Critics Choice Awards 2026
Description
In this episode, I’m joined by fashion expert Christine Griffith of the MONTE VISTA and Chicago Fashion Vanguard to break down the first red carpets of 2026. Together, we recap standout looks, fashion missteps, and why certain styles worked or didn’t, with me focusing on hair and Christine bringing her designer-level fashion insight.
From Danielle Brooks and Odessa A’zion to Jeff Goldblum and Michael B. Jordan, we cover the best and worst of the night and share thoughts on designers, celebrity creative directors, and what’s ahead as red carpet season continues.
