Not everyone gets it right on the red carpet, and this year’s Critics Choice Awards certainly had its fair share of fashion casualties.
Missing the style mark this year included the likes of actress Margaret Qualley and Jeopardy! star Mayim Bialik as well as Squid Game star HoYeon Jung and comedian Amber Ruffin.
Kicking things off was 27-year-old Qualley, who appeared to be wearing three different ensembles in one, as she walked the carpet at Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Century City in a multipatterned gown that featured a black sash.
The top half of Qualley’s ensemble featured floral embroidery that was in stark contrast to a satin black middle section, that sat atop a frilly white skirt.
The daughter of Andie MacDowell finished off her ensemble with a pair of black and white heels.
Next up was Jeopardy! and The Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik in a gold and blue satin suit.
While a suit can normally be seen as a safe option, the slightly ill-fitting ensemble looked as though it could have done with a few more fittings to really help the star stand out.

Devil in the detail: The top floral design of Margaret’s frock looked as though it belonged to an entirely different outfit

Mayim, 46, wore her hair slicked back and had minimal makeup for her red carpet arrival.
Meanwhile, there’s no doubt that Squid Game newcomer HoYeon Jung has made a name for herself in the fashion world.

The wacky outfit resembled more of a lampshade than a glam gown, which made of course been intentional.
Comedian Amber Ruffin was another stand-out on the carpet, and not in a good way.
