The 2016 Critics' Choice awards took place last night in Santa Monica, whilst not quite enjoying the same status as some of the bigger events on the awards season calendar, it still provides another major opportunity for nominees to be out and about - dressed in their finest of course.

Many of this season's leading actresses made an appearance on the red carpet including Saoirse Ronan, Rachel McAdams and Alicia Vikander who all received Oscar nominations last week.

In style terms it was a good night for Saint Laurent, who fresh off the back of the announcement that its autumn/winter show will be staged in LA to coincide with the Grammys, dressed both Jennifer Aniston and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in floor-sweeping gowns.

Alicia Vikander continued to cement her status as one of the best dressed of the season opting to wear a beaded gown by Mary Katrantzou.

Another of the better looks was worn by Kirsten Dunst whose tiered beaded Chanel dress gave a vintage twist on red carpet dressing.

Finally Amy Schumer wore won of her best red carpet looks to date - a sleek white gown by Calvin Klein.
