While Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards red carpet was basically a sea of black (and for good reason), last night’s Critics’ Choice Awards was far more colorful. We pretty much witnessed every color on the spectrum, from hot pink to emerald green to a variety of pastels (twice all in one outfit). There was also a healthy dose of white on the blue carpet with attendees favoring crisp pieces featuring bold details like excess lace, metallic mesh and feathers. And there were still a handful of stars embracing black, but usually bedecked in embellishments. Check out who wore what in the slideshow above.

Jessica Biel
