Ali Larter donned a showstopping black dress for the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, where she presented two categories alongside fellow Landman actress Michelle Randolph.

Whatever Ali Larter's final destination, she's going to get there in style.

Indeed, when the Landman actress arrived to the 2026 Critics Choice Awards at the Barker Hangar on Jan. 4, she did so in a showstopping look.

For the occasion, Ali donned a figure-hugging black gown with plunging neckline. The garment featured large panels of fabric that had been stitched together, leaving a diamond shaped swatch at the Legally Blonde actress' middle, showing off the dress' mile-high slit.

To finish off her look, the 49-year-old kept her jewelry to a minimum, just a few simple rings on her hands, and donned simple black heels featuring a jeweled embellishment on the toe strap. Ali opted to style her long blonde locks in simple waves down her back with barely-there makeup. (See every red carpet look here.)

The look shined even brighter when Ali stepped onto the stage alongside Landman actress Michelle Randolph—who, for her part, white corset gown—to present the awards for Best and Supporting Actor and Actress in a Limited Series. 

As she noted onstage, "On Landman, our characters live and breathe ambition and power. We chase goals, we take control, and we never settle for less."

To which Michelle added, "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."

Of course, as Ali pointed out, "Ambition, drive, charisma and power, a little sass and sparkle never hurt either."

The two categories were swept by Adolescence, with Erin Doherty and Owen Cooper both taking home a win. 

For Owen—who made history as the youngest male actor Critics Choice winner of all time—the show's success is still sinking in.

"This past year has been a complete whirlwind for me and my family," he said in his speech. "Honestly, it's changed our lives forever, and we're forever grateful we've cherished every single moment."
