The 2020 Critics’ Choice Awards red carpet featured some incredible beauty looks, but it was Billy Porter who really caught our eye.
We’ve only just recovered from last week’s Golden Globes mayhem – where an abundance of classic red lipstick looks made a very welcome appearance – and now the Critics’ Choice awards are here to bring us even more fashion and beauty inspiration.
First up, it seems the trend for curated ears is going nowhere, with actors including Anne Hathaway and Cynthia Erivo making their earrings take centre stage.
Then there was fashion icon Billy Porter, who appears to have made it his 2020 mission to bring back temporary tattoos, and to be honest we’re more than here for it.
Teamed with a pale turquoise strapless dress, a whole load of statement rings and yellow nails, Porter was also covered in temporary butterfly tattoos. They covered his shoulders, décolletage and both arms, with the whole look finished off with a slick of gold eyeliner on the lower lash line. Incredible.
Alongside Porter, here’s a few more of our favourite looks – including Zendaya’s pink eyeshadow and Lupita Nyong’o’s sharp cat eye – from last night’s awards.
Billy Porter

The performer brought back temporary tattoos, wearing an array of butterflies across his arms and chest. Butterflies are a symbol of the transgender community, something Porter noted while walking the red carpet.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he added, “[They represent] how you come from the cocoon, you come as one thing, and then you transform into something else,”
Porter also wore one of this year’s biggest trends – neon – on his nails.
