Actor Jamie Dornan is used to showcasing 50 shades of Gray, but on the Critics Choice Red Carpet, he instead opted for two striking shades of blue.

Giving Joshua Jackson and Jodi Turner-Smith a run for their money for the best-dressed couple, the Kiwi director and his pop star girlfriend are still going strong. Rita stuns in deep pink velvet with daring cut-outs, while Waititi pops in a monochromatic look.
