Valentino delivered a masterclass in modern elegance at the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards, dressing a lineup of Hollywood favorites in looks that balanced timeless tailoring with romantic drama. From impeccably cut menswear to couture-inspired gowns, the house proved—once again—why it remains a red carpet authority.
Adam Brody
Brody embraced classic menswear with a Valentino pinstriped suit that felt refined yet relaxed. The softly structured silhouette, paired with a striped tie, gave a subtle vintage nod while staying firmly contemporary—effortless, confident, and quietly cool.
Alexander Skarsgård
Skarsgård opted for timeless black-tie sophistication in a sharply tailored Valentino tuxedo. Clean lines, a satin lapel, and a crisp white shirt delivered understated power dressing, proving that simplicity—when executed perfectly—always wins.
Amanda Seyfried
Seyfried brought romantic contrast to the carpet in a strapless Valentino gown featuring a black velvet bodice, a pale blush skirt, and a bold red bow accent. The look was equal parts playful and polished—classic Valentino drama with a modern, feminine twist.
Rose Byrne
Byrne leaned into dark romance with a sheer, layered black Valentino gown. The textured construction and flowing skirt created movement and intrigue, blending elegance with edge for a striking red carpet moment.
