The 30th Annual Critics Choice Awards has officially kicked off, and with the glitz and glamor that comes with recognizing the best of television and film, also comes some questionable red carpet looks.
The ceremony, which was originally set for January 12, was postponed due to the devastating Los Angeles fire but rescheduled for February 7.
Like last year, the ceremony will take place at Santa Monica Airport’s Barker Hangar with Chelsea Handler hosting for the third year in a row.
Conclave and Wicked lead this year’s Critics Choice with 11 nominations. Dune: Part Two and Emilia Pérez are not far behind with 10 nominations each. Shotgun leads the pack of TV nominations with six nominations.
Follow along for the looks that missed the mark on the 2025 red carpet.

Judy Becker kept it simple in a black ruffled mini, with what appears to be a polo shirt on top, but must have run out of time to get her bangs trimmed before the big night
Mona Fastvold went for simple, wearing an all-white ankle length dress with capped sleeves and a bow. She paired the look with some patent black heels and her hair cup with loose waves framing her face
All eyes were on Rachel Brosnahan in this number! She wore a daring black silk gown which showcased her chest, attempting to balance out the look with some sequined shoulders
Did Stephanie Koening and Rachel Brosnahan share a PIntrest? The actress wore a slinky white gown which left little to the imagination
Actress Delainey Hayles wore a velvet long sleeved number with a white lace high neck, looking more frumpy nun than red carpet ready

Moeka Hoshi looked striking in a red tube top and low-rise skirt, looking a tad casual for the red carpet
