The Critics' Choice Awards brought a fun mix of colour and drama to the carpet in LA today. Emma Stone, who joined her The Help co-stars in accepting the best ensemble cast award, continued her green streak with a printed Jason Wu gown, while nominee Elizabeth Olsen also went bright in yellow Pucci. Presenter Diane Kruger mixed things up in Prada, and Busy Philipps was back in front of the cameras in hot pink after also attending yesterday's People's Choice Awards. Best actress winner Viola Davis wowed in a glamorous red look from Raoul.

There was a fair share of black on the grey carpet, including Kirsten Dunst's short, flirty Dior, and Charlize Theron's ruffled Azzedine Alaïa. Evan Rachel Wood, who was nominated for best acting ensemble in The Ides of March, chose a strapless Valentino while The Help's Octavia Spencer went with a black LBD and strappy heels. Melissa McCarthy took the stage in a navy sequinned number when she and the Bridesmaids cast won for best comedy.

Bright neutrals made an appearance this evening as well with best actress nominee Michelle Williams hitting the carpet in a Chanel gown and presenter Mindy Kaling donning a simple asymmetrical dress. Stacy Keibler arrived on the arm of boyfriend George Clooney in a dramatic white Giorgio Armani gown and Marchesa clutch. Rounding out all the lovely looks was The Descendants' Shailene Woodley in a slinky silver Calvin Klein. There was so much amazing fashion and beauty at the show, so make sure to weigh in on your favourites in Fab and Bella's polls!
