Here are more photos from last night’s Critics’ Choice Awards, one of the most boring nights. At least this year’s CCA were on a Sunday, and at least they started at 7 pm. There was no need for a three hour show, and there was no need for Taye Diggs (in general). But there were a few bright spots, like everybody stanning the hell out of Zendaya in this spectacular look from Tom Ford. Magazine editors, fashion editors and fashionistas are obsessed with this Tom Ford look – Gwyneth Paltrow also wore it for the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. Zendaya wore it better though. This is truly a breast plate, like warriors would have worn. And Tom Ford did it in that vibrant fuchsia. Gorgeous. But yeah, you can only pull this off if you’re thin and you have small-breast privilege.
Margaret Qualley wore Miu Miu and… this is such a nothingburger look. I get that it’s JUST the Critics Choice and people might phone it in sartorially, but wow, too bland.
Ava Duvernay wore this pretty Michael Cinco dress, but what was more important was her speech, when she won for When They See Us:
"Let a Black Woman do her thing." @Ava. Watch Ava's full Acceptance Speech after winning the #CriticsChoice Award for Best Limited Series for #WhenTheySeeUs. Congrats! pic.twitter.com/gMEVVIYdNR

Gorgeous.
Love the colour, love the styling, the hair… everything.
I agree. And I think she is gorgeous. She’d probably look good in a potato sack.
Yep, the braids are great. I want more black women to continue wearing braids on the red carpet.
OMG!!! THIS!!! Everything down to the makeup looks stunning on her. There are only two celebrities that can wear just about anything and make it look good. Her and Naomi Cambell can make ANYTHING they wear look like gold, even if its a trash bag!
Agreed, she is even making pink eye shadow look good, I can’t explain it.
I love the skirt and the color on Zendaya but this breastplate thing must end now. It looks ridiculous. It looked ridiculous on Goop as well.
Margaret Qualley Schoolmarm. Ava Duvernay Little Bo Peep.
I could have liked Margaret Qualleys look, but something about her super-insecure body language just makes it blah. Like I don’t feel that she liked it either.
Zendaya looks *Future voice* Sensational. She’s one of my favourite young fashionistas – always daring and 9/10 times hits it out of the park. She wears her outfits, they never wear her. Love it!
Breastplate is very costumey and a bit… scarey. Like terminator boobs.
I bet Goopy was FURIOUS when she saw Z, LOL. She looked amazing. Perfect styling, too. Also, how the hell does she manage to pose like that without looking tryhard-y? TEACH ME YOUR WAYS, COLEMAN.
Actually G wrote a really funny Instagram message under zendaya’s post. I was surprised to be honest.
what she said?
“But yeah, you can only pull this off if you’re thin and you have small-breast privilege.”
Lol, that’s kinda true about most of the dresses here though.
I don’t like the actual design, but Zendaya always looks incredible. She is so gorgeous, and really knows how to pose and work the fashion.
Ava always wears the same style- it works for her, but it’s always a long sleeves with a full skirt.
Excellent speech!
Zendaya is so pretty, I love the braids on her.
Zendaya always has one of the, if not THE, best looks at any event she attends. She’s gorgeous and so are her fashion choices.
Shes absolutely beautiful and I love the colors but I think it looks ridiculous. Sorry. I’d buy that skirt tho!
Zendaya looked great. She is always bringing it. I have become a full fledged stan. I wish she would get the say sort of consideration her peers do.
Zendaya is so beautiful and she is usually the best dressed, but that breast plate thing is ridiculous.
Zendaya is always the best dressed of the night. Beautiful woman with great style.
Zendaya & Ava look great. Poor Margaret looks so washed out & needs some color, please. With the unflattering too-deep V neck & mary-janes, she looks like a child who played dress up from mommy’s closet.
AS a short stocky person Zendaya is everything I want to be figure wise
Breastplate is one of the most atrocious thing I ever seen, if Zendaya can’t make it look passable, it should be banished by law.
Ava is awesome, beautiful eyes and so much energy on her expression.
Margaret is either very insecure or the most confident person ever.
Zendaya looks amazing. She’s young, thin and has the perfect frame for this. Perfect time to wear something like this. Futuristic and beautiful. Who is her stylist?! They seem to have so much fun with fashion. To be a fly on that wall.
I think Zendaya looks beautiful, but I do not like the ‘breast plate” on anyone. Also, I think Margaret looks beautiful, if a tad nervous.
Only Zendaya can pull this off. She is freaking awesome.
