After going virtual last year and later facing a short pandemic postponement, the 27th annual Critics Choice Awards returned in full force with an in-person ceremony that was well worth the wait. This year’s star-studded show—which honors the very best in television and film—was hosted by Taye Diggs and Nicole Byer. Aside from seeing so many of our favorite stars take home some much-deserved awards, the biggest highlight of the night for us was without a doubt seeing all of the show-stopping hair looks on the red carpet. From Angelica Ross’ towering braided updo and Kristen Stewart’s side-swept curls to Halle Berry’s daring bixie cut, there were plenty of hair moments that left us speechless.
