Hollywood knows how to ease into an awards season, as proven at Sunday’s Critics Choice Awards. From a style standpoint, the event at Santa Monica Airport’s Barker Hangar put a focus on easy looks that for the most part lacked any fuss or felt overtly grand. On the black carpet, more than one star noted that this night requires a quick bounceback from holiday vacations, hence the plethora of sleek gowns and modern takes on evening suits.
