The 2018 Golden Globes were a sea of black dresses on the red carpet, but it was noticeably different at the Critics' Choice Awards. Stars like Kiernan Shipka arrived in bright pastel ensembles, and white dresses outweighed darker hues like black and navy. Some actresses even went slightly sheer and showed up in dresses with cutouts and slits up the hemline. Although there weren't too many outrageously sexy looks on the red carpet, those who decided to be a bit more daring pulled off their outfits tastefully.
