Wonderwall.com rounded up the best and worst celeb style moments from the 2022 Critics Choice Awards, starting with this divisive look… Mumu not Miu Miu! Call us crazy, but there was something irresistible about Kirsten Dunst's shapeless cornflower-blue Julie de Libran Paris gown, which featured two crystal-embellished broach details — one at the neckline and one toward the center … like a big blinged out bellybutton. It was certainly one of the most divisive looks of the evening!
Now keep reading for more fashion hits and misses from the 2022 Critics Choice Awards…

Lady Gaga chose a dangerously low-cut, extra-loud Gucci number for the 2022 Critics Choice Awards. The over-the-top gown featured black lace sleeves that gave way to fingerless gloves, two strategically placed black velvet cups on the bodice and a canary yellow skirt featuring a burst of sequins across the waist and down the hips, plus black beaded trim along the hemline.

In a night when red dresses ruled the red carpet, Selena Gomez came in at the front of the pack in a custom Louis Vuitton gown with a front split, a keyhole cutout and a double cape detail. Next, see her grown-up look from a different angle…
_

_
Selena Gomez completed her look with Maison Boucheron bling including a unique arrow-shaped earring.
_
Kristen Wiig donned a truly terrible sheer Rodarte dress featuring see-through ruffles across the bodice and hips, which only worked to further accentuate her big black briefs.
_
Mandy Moore had a major goddess moment in a stunning crystal-embellished Elie Saab confection with a dangerously low-cut neckline and sheer wings of fabric on the sides that made it appear as though she was floating down the red carpet. See what we mean next…
_
Actress or angel?! An ethereal-looking Mandy Moore certainly had fun posing on the red carpet in her stunning Elie Saab gown.
_
Simple yet stunning! Kristen Stewart sparkled in an embellished Dolce & Gabbana column dress and added some Old Hollywood-style glam with her makeup and perfectly coiffed side-swept hair. She also rocked a ring that deserves a closer look…
_
Kristen Stewart rocked a multi-finger ring that at first glance appeared to be several coordinating rings, plus a dainty above-the-knuckle ring on her middle finger.
_
Looks can be deceiving! Take, for example, the crimson velvet Armani creation with a plunging neckline that Elizabeth Olsen wore during the 2022 Critics Choice Awards… It's a jumpsuit! She accessorized with a stunning diamond Cartier necklace with a ruby drop that perfectly complemented her bejeweled belt.
_
Jodie Turner-Smith donned one of our favorite looks of the evening: a silky teal one-sleeve Gucci number with a train and ruffles along the neckline, across the skirt and cascading down one hip. Now let's take a closer look at her bling, which further elevated her look…
_
WOW! Jodie Turner-Smith was dripping in Bulgari jewels: a bracelet and five rings from the brand's Serpenti collection, plus three massive diamond-and-emerald sparklers. The true showstopper, though? See that next…
_
Jodie Turner-Smith wore her hair in a voluminous updo and completed her look with a diamond-and-emerald necklace that she wore as a crown.
_
"Squid Game" star HoYeon Jung channeled a chandelier — and not in a good way! — in an Art Deco-inspired Louis Vuitton gown dripping in beaded fringe. Between the dress's loose-fitting bodice and dropped, structured waist, there wasn't much to appreciate. Adding insult to injury, she accessorized with black sandals that seemed out of place with the rest of her look.
_
Leave it to Rita Ora to show more skin than anyone else during the 2022 Critics Choice Awards! The singer-actress donned a velvety long-sleeve Elie Saab creation with sheer panels that slashed across the waist to the hip and then all the way down the skirt.
_
"West Side Story" star Ariana DeBose played with color (and won!) in a gorgeous marigold Carolina Herrera gown with an asymmetrical neckline. Next, take a closer look at her equally impressive bling…
_
Ariana DeBose completed her look with shoulder-skimming earrings from Chopard's Temptations collection featuring rubellites, tourmalines, amethysts and diamonds.
_
Jada Pinkett Smith looked like a golden goddess in a strapless Maison Rabih Kayrouz column dress with pockets. The best part of her look, though? That would be her headpiece! See it next…
_
Elle Fanning had a pretty princess moment in a strapless gold Oscar de la Renta gown. While she looked lovely, we couldn't help but wish the fashion darling — who usually goes above and beyond when it comes to dressing for the red carpet — had chosen something a little more memorable.
_
Another golden girl at the 2022 Critics Choice Awards? Melissa McCarthy! The "Bridesmaids" star rocked a long-sleeve dress with a bold zig-zag pattern featuring metallic gold fabric that tied into her gold belt featuring a floral motif. She added even more gold with her necklace, drop earrings, bracelets and rings.
_
Serena Williams topped many best-dressed lists in a sparkly silver Versace gown featuring an asymmetrical train cascading off one hip.
_
Venus Williams also donned a silver Versace number, though her body-baring look — which was essentially a romper with a plunging neckline and a skirt with two hip-high slits in the front — wasn't as epic as her little sister's.
_
The best-dressed man of the evening? That would be Will Smith, of course! He looked dapper in a three-piece Dolce & Gabbana suit with a vest and a tie in different shades of brown.
_
Jamie Dornan also ranked among the best-dressed men of the evening. His Valentino ensemble featured a double-breasted coat and a tie that he matched to his light blue button-down shirt rather than to his darker blue suit.
_
Another standout menswear moment! Andrew Garfield looked dapper in a sparkly Saint Laurent suit that he wore over an equally sparkly striped button-down.
_
This schtick is getting old! Jared Leto sported one of the worst menswear looks of the evening: a beige three-piece Gucci suit with a vest that was so low cut, we thought for a second it might've been a cummerbund. Inexplicably, he accessorized with a velvety bowtie in a rich burgundy hue and silver boots that seemed completely out of place with the rest of his look.
_
Love! Issa Rae stunned in an uber-feminine Carolina Herrera confection — a red floral-print gown with an asymmetrical ruffled halter neckline and a ruffled skirt.
_
Kaitlyn Dever looked red-hot in a gorgeous Miu Miu gown with a plunging neckline and a sash detail at the neck that she wore slung over one shoulder. Now let's take a look at this stunning number from an even better angle…
_
Wow! Kaitlyn Dever's silky red Miu Miu gown featured a dangerously low-cut open back. Up next? A closer look at her jewels, which were some of the best of the evening…
_
Kaitlyn Dever completed her look with a pair of gorgeous — and unique! — diamond Cartier earrings featuring teardrop rubies.
_
Kathryn Newton took the plunge in a Valentino gown with pockets and a dangerously low-cut neckline. Curiously, she matched her lipstick to her gown's bold red hue, which was perhaps a bit too much.
_
Another actress who looked ravishing in red? Chrissy Metz! The "This Is Us" star donned a custom off-the-shoulder Greta Constantine confection with a unique vertical ruffle design.
_
But not every actress who dressed in red hit it out of the park. Juliette Lewis, for example, donned a strapless Alberta Ferretti number with pockets and a diagonal half-bow detail across the bodice that bizarrely stood out like an upside down fan. She completed her look with Rahaminov Diamonds bling.
_
We wanted to love the Benchellal creation that Danielle Brooks donned during the 2022 Critics Choice Awards. With its rich red hue, feminine ruffles and full cape, there was a lot to write home about! But ultimately, the collared, button-down neckline and the high-low hemline lost us. We also weren't wild about her styling. See what we mean next…
_
Danielle Brooks completed her look with butterfly-inspired Area earrings and swaths of black liner under her eyes. When coupled with her gown's collared neckline, it was just a bit too much.
_
There was just so much going on with Margaret Qualley's bizarre Chanel confection — from the bodice featuring a beaded floral motif and the extra-wide black sash that trailed dramatically behind her to the midi-length skirt featuring layers of ruffles. We also weren't wild about her retro-style black-and-white pumps.
_
"Ted Lasso" star Hannah Waddingham chose a bold Carolina Herrera confection for the 2022 Critics Choice Awards: Her dress featured a black bodice with a plunging neckline and a high-waist, button-down neon-chartreuse skirt with a matching belt.
_
We're so here for the neon-chartreuse trend! "Yellowjackets" star Ella Purnell also rocked the pretty shade: She donned a one-shoulder pleated Valentino confection.
_
Zoey Deutch looked pretty in pink in an Alexander McQueen gown with a corset bodice and an asymmetrical skirt. While we loved the dress's bold hue, we just couldn't get behind that asymmetrical ruffle, which oddly spanned from hip to mid-thigh. She accessorized with diamond Tiffany & Co. jewels.
_
Nicole Byer fared far better in her epic hot pink ballgown: a custom off-the-shoulder Christian Siriano creation with voluminous sleeves. She completed her look with dazzling Neil Lane diamonds.
_
Rita Moreno looked regal in a unique white-and-olive green Greta Constantine gown featuring a column skirt and a ruffled off-the-shoulder bodice with voluminous sleeves. We love the way she accessorized with white opera gloves but wish she would've left her earrings at home. Let's take a closer look…
_
Sadly, Rita Moreno's oversized earrings — which featured translucent and light blue dropped jewels — clashed with her olive green Greta Constantine gown. We wish she would've gone with something simpler to better complement her diamond necklace.
_
Jean Smart dazzled in a unique but beautiful Valentino ensemble: a loose-fitting white top paired with a sequined mermaid-style skirt.
_
Kathryn Hahn donned one of her best looks ever: a metallic mauve Dior gown with an extra-long cape. She completed her look with Cathy Waterman jewels.
_
Capes are officially in again! "Yellowjackets" star Sophie Nélisse looked lovely in a light blue draped Monique Lhuillier gown with a matching cape.
_
While many stars played with color during the 2022 Critics Choice Awards, Juno Temple matched her couture to her pale skin tone. She flashed a hint of her midriff in beige Armani separates: a beaded cropped spaghetti-strap top and a lacy high-waist skirt.
_
Here's another simple yet stunning look we loved: Caitriona Balfe killed it in a strapless blush Dior column dress with a dainty belt at the waist. The minimalist design allowed her Van Cleef & Arpels diamonds to truly shine.
_
Jasmin Savoy-Brown got the "simple yet stunning strapless blush column dress" memo! The "Yellowjackets" and "Scream" actress donned a pretty pleated Prada number and completed her look with a bold deep burgundy lip.
_
Mayhim Bialik disappointed in an unflattering olive Grayscale suit with navy lapels that she wore sans undershirt.
_
A few women rocked standout menswear-inspired looks during the 2022 Critics Choice Awards. Our favorite? Melanie Lynskey sported a velvety navy blue Houghton by Katharine Polk suit sans undershirt. She accessorized with Chopard jewels. Let's take a closer look…
_
Melanie Lynskey completed her look with one of the most unique pieces of the evening: a necklace from Chopard's Haute Joaillerie collection featuring two black opals totaling 12.87 carats and 1.08 carats of diamonds.
_
The chicest! "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder looked super-slick in an Armani tuxedo.
_
"For All Mankind" star Wrenn Schmidt looked sharp in a fun fuchsia BLAZÉ Milano suit with matching pumps. She topped off her look with multi-color Krewe shades.
_
Marlee Matlin delivered one of her all-time greatest fashion moments during the 2022 Critics Choice Awards: She stunned in an off-the-shoulder draped Dolce & Gabbana gown with sheer sleeves. She completed her look with Fernando Jorge jewels.
_
Carey Mulligan sparkled in a strapless, rhinestone-embellished Christian Dior creation. She added even more sparkle — not that it was necessary! — in the form of a diamond necklace, a diamond cuff bracelet and sequin-encrusted sandals. See them next…
_
It's a lot. Sadly, Carey Mulligan's sequin-embellished silver sandals took her look a little too far.
_
"West Side Story" star Rachel Zegler definitely felt pretty during the 2022 Critics Choice Awards in a gorgeous green Dior dress with a full pleated skirt. Her jewels deserve a closer look…
_
Rachel Zegler completed her look with Tiffany and Co. jewels including a jaw-dropping diamond necklace.
_
Peyton List was practically drowning in her Yanina Couture confection: a heavy black velvet gown covered in teardrop crystals featuring an exposed bra design and puffy shoulders with crisp white cuffs on the sleeves.
_
We love Sonequa Martin-Green, but we weren't wild about her ill-fitting white gown, which featured a high neckline, three-quarter-length sleeves and a dangerous hip-high slit. She accessorized with simple silver sandals and stunning Chopard jewels.
_
Here's a simple white dress we loved! Maggie Gyllenhaal scored a rare fashion hit in a Chloé creation featuring a custom-made Nappa leather bodice with a single bubble sleeve. She completed her look with Maison Boucheron bling.
_
Was it a wardrobe malfunction? Or a choice?! "For All Mankind" star Sarah Jones, who accessorized with sheer black opera gloves, donned a truly bizarre Act No. 1 creation: a cream gown with a train and an exposed bra detail. It appeared from the front as though one of the straps on her dress had broken on her way to the red carpet, leaving half of her black undergarments exposed. But from a different angle, it became clear the exposed look may have been intentional…
_
Did Sarah Jones wear her Act No. 1 dress halfway unzipped? Or did it come that way? The world may never know!
_
Kristin Chenoweth showed some skin in a black Pamella Roland dress with an oversized keyhole cutout and a crossed halter neckline. It's even better from the back…
_
Kristin Chenoweth brought sexy back in her Pamella Roland gown, which featured an unexpected bow detail across the shoulders.
_
Apparently, it was "the bigger the bow, the better" during the 2022 Critics Choice Awards… "This Is Us" star Caitlin Thompson got the memo! Her strapless green Jason Wu gown featured pockets and an extra-large bow across the bodice.
_
Per usual, Bowen Yang ruled the red carpet. The "Saturday Night Live" star rocked a simple but stylish Willie Norris for Outlier suit sans undershirt.
_
The women of "Pose" really brought their fashion A game to the 2022 Critics Choice Awards! Leading the pack? Indya Moore! The model-actress stunned in a pink-and-gold Off-White gown with a plunging neckline, a hip-high slit and an extra-long train. Now let's take a closer look at her stunning jewels…
_
Indya Moore dazzled in diamonds: layered chokers, simple stud earrings and a massive ear cuff.
_
"Pose" star Michaela Jaé Rodriguez sported a Valentino ensemble that started strong but ultimately left us wanting more. We loved her asymmetrical blue top, which gave way to a train. If only her loose-fitting beige slacks had been as much fun! She completed her look with Pomellato jewlery.
_
"Pose" star Angelica Ross accentuated her curves in a strapless Valdrin Shahiti gown with an oversized keyhole cutout and a hip-high slit.
_
"Pose" star Hailie Sahar sported the most delightfully wacky look of the evening: a Rick Owens ensemble comprised of a loose-fitting dress, a sleeveless robe and leather opera gloves all in different shades of red. It was extremely over the top, and we loved every bit of it!
_
"Pose" star Dominique Jackson donned a feather-adorned purple Pamella Roland gown that complemented her long purple locks.
_
Amber Ruffin also rocked a feathered look! The comedian sported a black Jean-Louis Sabaji jumpsuit with plumage along the neckline and across the bodice, which gave way to a lengthy feathered train. (Rita Ora actually wore the same jumpsuit late last year.)
_
Similarly, Apryl Jones donned a feather-adorned Jean-Louis Sabaji creation previously worn by another star late last year: Laverne Cox sported the same purple frock during the 2021 People's Choice Awards. Apryl had a good reason for choosing the plumage-embellished dress: It perfectly complemented her boyfriend, Taye Diggs, and his look. See him next…
_
Taye Diggs raised temperatures in a velvet Armani suit in a deep purple shade.
_
Alan S. Kim has more style at age 9 than most people have in a lifetime! The pint-sized "Minari" star looked dapper in a red Dolce & Gabbana suit that he wore with a black tie and white sneakers.
_
"Saved by the Bell" star Josie Totah flaunted her midriff in a gorgeous Toni Matičevski creation comprised of a tube top and a matching skirt featuring tiered layers of ruffles.
_
"Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" star Maria Bakalova also flaunted her midriff on the red carpet, though the unique cut of her long-sleeve Balmain gown ultimately left her looking uncomfortable.
_
Here's another Miu Miu look we loved! "King Richard" star Demi Singleton slayed in a black sleeveless number dripping in teardrop crystal embellishments. The best part? That would be the asymmetrical belt, which featured a fan of hot pink ruffles cascading down one hip.
_
Ansel Elgort looked like a kid playing dress-up (perhaps due to his barely-there mustache!) in a Fendi tuxedo. He completed his look with cap-toe Manolo Blahnik oxfords and a Cartier broach.
_
"Cruel Summer" star Chiara Aurelia, who's just 19, donned a matronly Monique Lhuillier gown with a plunging neckline and a simple red rose at the waist. She completed her look with Chopard jewels.
_
"CODA" star Emilia Jones donned a bizarre Louis Vuitton column dress with a black bodice, a white skirt and a sheer midriff panel covered in asymmetrical beaded designs.
_
LaKeith Stanfield frequently delivers bold menswear moments, and he did not disappoint during the 2022 Critics Choice Awards. The Oscar-nominated "Judas and the Black Messiah" star donned an all-black ensemble with a gray beanie, shades and layered necklaces including a chain with an oversized pendant. (He also carried a coat that he never actually wore.) Let's take a closer look…
_
LaKeith Stanfield's pendant featured an angel in prayer and the words "Black Magnolia" — the name of his company.
_
Adorable! "King Richard" star Saniyya Sidney donned a lovely strapless Rodarte gown with an asymmetrical neckline. She completed her look with Messika jewelry.
_
"The Underground Railroad" actress Mychal-Bella Bowman looked out of this world in a strapless periwinkle Andrea & Leo Couture gown featuring an astrology-inspired motif.
