Get Ready with Da'Vine Joy Randolph for the 2024 Critics Choice Awards

See how the 'The Holdovers' star got red carpet ready for her big night.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph's night at the 29th Critics Choice Awards was like a scene from a movie. Fresh off her Golden Globe win, the 37-year-old actress has become the breakout star of the awards season on and off the red carpet. Her heart-wrenching turn as Mary Lamb in The Holdovers won over audiences and critics alike, and her recent looks, created with dynamic celebrity styling duo Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald, who go by the moniker Wayman + Micah, have the fashion industry waiting with bated breath to see what she'll wear next.

Randolph continued her winning streak last night, snagging the award for Best Supporting Actress in a showstopping gown designed by buzzy designer Jovana Louis. The brand, known for its blend of multicultural and body contouring designs, created a black custom gown for Randolph that evoked Old Hollywood glamour with its mesmerizing mermaid silhouette and rich ruching details. "The Critics Choice has really been a fun red carpet event in recent years," said Wayman + Micah about the look, "giving us a moment to play and be bold in the thick of award season,"

On the beauty side, hair stylist to the stars Tai Simon said the inspiration behind Randolph's platinum hair was "to channel our inner Queen B — B as in Beyonce. We set off to achieve the Renaissance effect. Da'Vine is a blonde bombshell heart, so I had to make the fantasy come true!" Using an array of Lancôme products, makeup maven Sheika Daley went for a soft, bronzy beauty look to pair with Randolph's hair color, saying, "I wanted to give her a soft, beautiful, polished peachy glow." Stunning jewels from Norman Silverman and sky-high Steve Madden pumps added the perfect final touch to Randolph's ensemble.

Here, Randolph tells InStyle her secrets to staying calm during awards season, and her team gives a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to get her red carpet ready.

How She Chose Her Jovana Louis Gown

Wayman+Micah: "We loved the romantic and subtle drama of the silhouette, fabrics, and embellishments on her custom Jovana Louis gown. The ruching and mermaid structure of the skirt really encapsulates Da’Vine’s mystique and natural glamour. The pairing of the Omega watch is also a nod to the Old Hollywood theme we have focused on, taking inspiration from movie stars like Grace Kelly and Lena Horne."
