Christina Applegate made a memorable appearance at the 28th Critics Choice Awards.
The Dead to Me star, 51, who was nominated for best actress in a comedy series, paid tribute to her character, Jen, and Linda Cardellini's character, Judy, with her award show manicure. The actress had her nails painted a deep blue shade with "Jen" and "Judy" written on them in gold.
Applegate complemented her nails with an all-black suit, jewels, and her cane — and brought along her daughter, Sadie Grace LeNoble. The two even wore matching platform Dr. Martens boots with their neutral outfits.
Sunday night's show marks Applegate's first award show since announcing her multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis in 2021.
