Life is nothing more than a Nicole Kidman Awards Season. Kidman Awards Seasons are forever – they are always happening, and she is always enjoying herself. Nicole had about 23 films out in 2018, and so she’s being nominated here and there for various performances. So every single weekend, Nicole attends like five different events. Not every look is going to be a winner. While Nicole was on-trend for the night (so many black-and-white dresses, my God), this Armani was just kind of…meh. I like that she went structural, but it still wasn’t that interesting. Her hair was a mess too.
Claire Foy in Balmain – she won some special award for all of her work in TV and film, and she seemed slightly embarrassed to be there. I like that she just kept it simple with this jumpsuit ensemble.
I appreciate that there are several actors who are mixing it up sartorially this awards season. Timothee Chalamet is one, and Rami Malek is another. Rami isn’t just doing the standard dark-suits for low-key awards shows. Now, he’s showing off his dandy side. I like this pale Givenchy suit on him, but I think it might have looked better with a regular tie, rather than the bow tie.
I’m so glad Rami’s girlfriend and costar Lucy Boynton saved money by recycling her grandma’s shower curtain. This dress is Gucci. At least she stood out in the sea of black-and-white dresses, I guess.
Elizabeth Olsen in a velvet Alexandre Vauthier cocktail dress- I was surprised we didn’t see more short cocktail dresses at the Critics Choice, and this is a good one. It’s simple and I hope she gets to keep it, because she can wear it to anything. The problem here is her hair – some women can pull off the bangs and fringe, and some can’t.

I like Nicole’s dress but not her hairstyle. Rami looks good.
i like how Rami and Lucy’s outfits had the same color palette. sorta like when you coordinate with your prom date.
I liked that, too. And I actually like her dress. Her hair and makeup looks lovely, too. Unlike Kidman’s.
Olsen looks really uncomfortable in her dress. It’s ok but I’m not a fan of the shoulder pads.
I love the dress and messy hair – the only option with something so structured.
I thought she was a high point
For some reason I thought I read Rami and Lucy broke up. But now I’ve googled it and can’t find anything.
That’s not Balmain on Claire Foy it’s Hedi Silmane for Celine. It’s been posted to Celine’s insta already
I honestly don’t hate any of them – not even Lucy’s. It’s weird, but I sort of like the effect.
Nicole’s reminds me of a calla lily or something.
I might have liked Rami’s more with a colored shirt, or a regular tie – alternatively a more quirky bow tie. If you’re going to go bow tie, you might as well really amp it up.
I like the choice of a bow tie but I agree the plain black one is kinda blah. And I actually really like Lucy’s dress.
Lucy is young and cute, she looks great.
Is Rami wearing base?
Is Elizabeth Olsen working on a Lee Grant or Faye Dunaway biopic?
Oh, I totally see that now. Good catch, @Lightpurple.
She certainly looks like she’s had some work done.
For real… she’s looking mighty aged and a little scary. You can add sissy spacek to the list too.
She looks so much older! I didn’t recognise her!
Faye Dunaway was my first thought, too!
She’s starting to get that same weird, pruny look that Mary-Kate has, which is sad because she’s so pretty
+1
I used to think she was the pretty one. not anymore.
Joni Mitchell!!!
Man, Nicole Kidman always seemed to have such great red carpet sense and these days it is really hit and miss.
Lucy Boynton doesn’t just look like she’s wearing grandma’s flower curtain, she looks like she picked the one that went through the wash a few too times.
She had TWENTY THREE films out in 2018? Really? Is that a typo?
It’s a joke. 😉 But in all seriousness between films and TV series, she’s had at least ten projects out in the last two years.
Phew. For a second there I was like…how did I miss twenty three films that had one actor? Brain is clearly still off on NYE holiday. Thanks!
Omg I thought that was Rashida Jones! Would not have recognized Elizabeth Olsen
I simply cannot with Nicole’s face. Her work is distracting in anything she has done in the past ten years or more and I don’t understand why she gets awards for her acting. I am never able to get immersed in her characters because I get distracted by the strangeness of her face. Also how does a woman with access to the best hair stylists in the world still walk around with hair this fried?
Like Nicole’s dress and I think she’s got 3 movies out now ~ Aquaman, The Upside and Destroyer. But her Supporting Actress nom from Critics Choice was for her performance in Boy Erased.
It reminds me of a vagina – I really have nothing more to add.
OMG now I can’t unsee that! lolol. Reminds me of the statue Marie carved on “Everybody Loves Raymond”! 😂😂😂
Elizabeth Olsen looks so much like Sissy Spacek. That nose!
I think Nicole looks amazing, I dont get all of the snark.
I agree. I don’t like her purse and I’m not crazy about her eye makeup, but I love the dress. I always love structured Armani gowns though.
Yes I like this gown a lot on her.
Can we stop pretending that Rami and Lucy are dating?
What do you mean, ‘pretending’? Do you know something we don’t know?
I love Nicole Kidman’s dress and the contrast of her less-structured hair with it. She’s really had staying power, and I admire her for it.
I love Nicole’s dress. We need to accept that she insists on the Botox look and since it isn’t keeping her from getting work, she’ll continue on this path forever.
Haha you are so right. But it’s still hard to accept!
Rami looks adorable as always.
Wow i’m surprised at myself that i disagree with most of these takes. I find Rami’s gf dress hideous too, but i think Rami’s bow tie brings something slightly playful to an otherwise boring grey suit.
I think Nicole looks happy and less harsh and cold than she normally does on red carpets and I hope she keeps experimenting with softer hairstyles like that.
and everyone else looks great. I hate the bangs though, too long.
I’m in the minority here, but I hate Nicole’s dress, but LOVE her makeup and hair. Her eye makeup is gorg and I think the messy hair with it kind of looks vintage bombshell. It almost seems sort of Bardot-esque to me. I especially love the eye makeup. That dress, though…calla lily fug.
Bow ties are cool….. 😎😎
I like Lucy Boynton’s look. Liked her look at the Globes too – she has a young, fun style.
What is going on with Lizzie Olssn? She looks aged, tweaked, and like she stepped right out of the ’80’s!
Her hair looks nice to me. The whole look is nice, the hair compliments the dress. Her shade of blonde is good here
