Hollywood stars have made their way to the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport in Santa Monica, California, for the 2025 Critics Choice Awards.
The Critics Choice Awards, which was initially scheduled to take place at the beginning of January, was postponed due to the Los Angeles fires. The show started by honoring first responders, some of whom were in attendance.
Nominated at the awards show for her leading role in “Maria,” Angelina Jolie turned heads when she posed for photos on the red carpet in a light brown dress with intricate lace designs throughout.

Also nominated in the lead actress category, Demi Moore walked the carpet in a strapless dark blue gown with a beaded neckline and fringe on the bottom. She kept her makeup look natural, and wore her hair in a slick back bun, allowing her sparkly earrings to shine.
