Lily Gladstone stepped out in royal blue at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, just a week after her historic Golden Globes win.
The 37-year-old actress became the first Indigenous performer to win Best Actress at the Golden Globes, for her portrayal of Mollie Burkhart in Killers of the Flower Moon.
However, she fell short of bringing home back-to-back awards, losing the Critics Choice for Best Actress to Emma Stone for Poor Things.
Gladstone was also nominated alongside Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall), Greta Lee) Past Lives, Carey Mulligan (Maestro) and Margot Robbie (Barbie).
Fans will have to wait until Tuesday, January 23 to see if Gladstone will earn her first Oscar nomination for Killers of the Flower Moon.

Gladstone stepped out in a stunning and strapless cobalt blue gown designed by Christian Siriano for the event.
Her black hair flowed down over her shoulders while accessorizing with large dangling earrings.
The blue flowing gown fell all the way to the red carpet, obscuring her footwear for the evening.
Aside from her historic Golden Globes win, Gladstone was named Best Actress of 2023 by the New York Film Critics Circle.
She plays Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman whose family members are tragically murdered in a plot to seize their fortune.
Gladstone, whose heritage includes Blackfeet and Nez Perce roots, is now just the second Native actress recognized by the Globes. The first was Irene Bedard, nominated in 1995 for the television movie Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee.
‘This is a historic one, and it doesn’t belong to just me,’ Gladstone said in English, after opening their acceptance speech speaking in the Blackfeet language.
‘I’m holding it with all of my beautiful sisters in the film and my mother [in the film], Tantoo Cardinal.’

The star then noted that, in the past, Hollywood would create fictional Native languages instead of portraying them accurately and authentically
‘I’m so grateful that I can speak even a little bit of my language because in this business, Native actors used to speak their lines in English and then the sound mixers would run them backwards to accomplish Native languages on camera,’ Gladstone explained.
She then thanked Chief Standing Bear and the Osage Nation as well as Scorsese, and her costars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro, for being ‘allies’.
‘This is for every little res kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream, who is seeing themselves represented and our stories told by ourselves, in our own words, with tremendous allies and tremendous trust with each other.’
