The Best Red Carpet Looks From the Critics' Choice Awards

The 22nd Annual Critics' Choice Awards are underway as stars gather at the Santa Monica Airport's Barker Hangar to honour the best in filmmaking. While the best movies of 2016 will be competing to see who takes home the trophy, our eyes are on the arrivals to see which of our favourite leading ladies won on the red carpet.

From Emma Stone in Roland Mouret to Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton, there are plenty of incredible dresses you need to see. This event marks the start of award season, and to say we can't wait for next year's ceremonies, and all the fashion that comes with them, would be an understatement. Click through our gallery for our pick of the best looks from the Critics' Choice Awards.
