Ali Larter’s Crystal Shoes Dazzle at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards

Ali Larter brought some shimmer to the black carpet at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., for the 2026 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night, arriving in crystal-embellished heels from Giuseppe Zanotti.

Dressed by celebrity stylist Jeanann Williams, who also works with Naomi Watts and Monica Barbaro, the “Landman” star’s shoes featured a subtle crystal-encrusted accent on the skinny toe strap, offering just a hint of sparkle. Another strap wrapped around the back of her ankle, keeping her feet from sliding out of the silhouette. These heels are in step with Giuseppe Zanotti’s signature jeweled shoes, which run the gamut from fully crystal-covered pairs to styles with a smattering of gems, much like Larter’s pair.

Larter wore the shoes with a daring long black silk Nina Ricci gown featuring a plunging neckline and halter silhouette. The number was made from panels, resulting in a diamond-shaped design around her midsection. Meanwhile, the bottom of the dress included a thigh-high center slit, revealing the actress’ legs.

The “Legally Blonde” alum gave the dress the moment, skipping a necklace and bracelets and accessorizing with a few Messika rings. Makeup artist Melissa Hernandez gave Larter a glowy complexion using NassifMD Skincare products. Meanwhile, Glen Coco Oropeza styled her blond hair in a side part with subtle waves. 

During the ceremony, Larter presented the award for Best and Supporting Actor and Actress in a Limited Series alongside her “Landman” costar Michelle Randolph. “On “Landman,” our characters live and breathe ambition and power,” Larter said to the audience. “We chase goals, we take control, and we never settle for less.” Randolph chimed in, “Which is exactly what these incredible nominees do every time they step in front of the camera. They demand and remind us what it means to be unstoppable.” The awards were given to “Adolescence” stars Erin Doherty and Owen Cooper.
