Despite the 2021 Critics’ Choice Awards looking different than in years past due to the pandemic, it’s still proving to be an event to remember — and a stylish one no less. Taye Diggs is on hosting duties for the third time, joined by a slew of A-list presenters, including Chrissy Metz, Angela Bassett, and Chelsea Handler, to name just a few.
Although most presenters and nominees attended the ceremony virtually, they still showed up in some seriously stunning ensembles. And, as always, their glam squads brought their A-games on hair and makeup, too. While stars like Carey Mulligan, Gillian Anderson, and Angela Bassett opted for minimal (yet still super-glamorous) hair and makeup, Yara Shahidi and Regina King went for bold statement looks that we’ll be thinking about for months to come.
Now, without further ado, find some of our favorite hair and makeup moments from the night — including exclusive details and products used.
