While every year there can only be one woman to take home the prize of best actress at the Critics' Choice Awards, the title of best dressed offers a little more leeway. Each season there are those dresses, the ones iconic enough to stay on our minds long after the red carpet is rolled up. With this year's Critics' Choice Awards quickly approaching, we thought there was no better time to look back at some of the ceremony's greatest fashion moments. From Jennifer Lawrence in Jason Wu to Sandra Bullock's gorgeous Lanvin dress, prep for the big night with a throwback to our favorite looks.
