The 2019 Critics’ Choice Awards went down in Santa Monica on Sunday night and everyone from Issa Rae to Angela Bassett served up serious style goals on the carpet.

With a ton of #MelaninMagic in the nominee pool, we’re hoping for some wins for some of this year’s biggest and best projects including Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, If Beale Street Could Talk, and Sorry To Bother You. 

Regina King makes powerful pledge after Best Supporting Actress win at Golden Globes

Check out a few of our favorite looks from the star-studded carpet:

Dominique Jackson

The POSE star had everyone green with envy thanks to gorgeous gown and sideswept hair that had her looking like a Hollywood icon.

Laura Harrier

We love this white-hot look from the BlacKkKlansman star whose flawless face was framed by soft waves.

Kiki Layne

The actress who stars in If Beale Street Could Talk looked lovely in her long, beaded gown with a super-high slit.

Billy Porter

The POSE star made quite the statement with the huge satin sash tied around his dark brown ensemble.

Courtney B. Vance & Angela Bassett

Black Hollywood’s ultimate power couple held court as the only married stars who were both nominated for awards.

Amanda Stenberg

The twice-nominated star of The Hate U Give went with minimal makeup and swept back hair, showing off her glowing complexion in a red gown.

Brandon Victor Dixon

The POWER actor went with a bright pink blazer when he hit the carpet and pulled it off rather nicely.

Taye Diggs

The evening’s host showed off his pearly whites in a traditional tux before he opened the show.

Lakeith Stanfield

The Sorry To Bother You star always pushes the style envelope and this time he paired a patterned suit with velvet shoes and a purple hat.

Spike Lee

The BlacKkKlansman director seemed to be in good sports when he hit the carpet in a blazer covered in swords, snakes, and crowns.

Regina King

The Best Supporting Actress nominee dazzled in a royal purple gown perfectly suited for Hollywood royalty.

Issa Rae

The Insecure star served up some serious leg in her black gown and low, full ponytail. #Werk
