Awards season isn't slowing down just yet, and neither are the stars on the red carpet.
The 2026 Costume Designers Guild Awards (CDGA) took place at the historic Ebell of Los Angeles on February 12, and celebrities, including One Battle After Another star Teyana Taylor and Song Sung Blue actress Kate Hudson, made a statement in their striking red carpet looks.
The CDGA recognizes outstanding achievement in costume design for film, television, short form productions, and costume illustration, so it's not surprising that fashion played a big part on the night.

Teyana Taylor, who received the Vanguard Spotlight Award for her influence on style and visual media, made a statement in a Tamara Ralph Spring 2026 Couture look. The vibrant pink dress featured a sculpted, high-shine breastplate and a draped, floor-sweeping satin skirt.
Kate Hudson, who was honored with the Spotlight Award for her influence on style and visual media, opted for a purple silk Valentino dress, boasting ruched tie detailing, intricate draping along the skirt, and a subtle train. She accessorized with a silver choker and peep-toe heels.
The Pitt star, Katherine LaNasa, looked like a fairytale in a gold sequined Elie Saab dress that featured a strapless neckline and a full skirt that skimmed the floor. Letting the dress shine, the actress kept her accessories simple with dainty drop earrings and opted for a soft glam makeup look.
Actress Jodie Turner-Smith earned major style points for her bold color choice. Her royal blue Marc Jacobs SS26 dress looked incredible against her complexion and gave off serious Jackie O vibes with its high neck, button detailing, and elegant length. Jodie added white, pointed-toe heels, statement earrings, and voluminous curls to complete her look.

Tracee Ellis Ross looked gorgeous in her Mugler SS26 look. The rose-gold two-piece boasted a structured silhouette with a nipped waist, ankle-length skirt, and statement brooch. She added pointed-toe stilettos and a large ring, opting to wear her raven hair in a half-up 'do to show off the jacket's structured shoulders.
