Celebrities showcased standout fashion moments on the red carpet in Los Angeles on Friday, where cutout ensembles emerged as one of the night’s biggest trends.
Several attendees embraced the trend with form-fitting gowns featuring side, midriff and asymmetrical cutouts. Deep necklines and exposed waistlines added structural elements to their outfits, while intricate detailing like lace inserts, sheer paneling and draped fabrics enhanced the designs.
The Critics Choice Awards have historically set the tone for awards season trends, and this year’s event continues that tradition. With fashion moments unfolding throughout the evening, cutout dresses stand out as a defining style among this year’s A-list attendees.
