Another award show, another series of extremely fancy dresses we wish we had a reason to wear. We won’t let anything get in the way of our sartorial wanderlust though, which is why we’re looking for ways to recreate our favorite Critics’ Choice Awards looks in a way that won’t have people wondering where we’re going (hint: nowhere, really). Here are the five looks we can’t stop thinking about and the pieces we’re buying to make them work off the red (well, actually blue) carpet.
Angelina Jolie

Although the feathered top looks more red carpet than everyday, we’d wear ours with a pair of combat boots to make the look less precious.

Plus, it works great over a pair of tights or thigh high boots.

Kate Bosworth

Wearing an all lace jumpsuit is a more casual alternative and if you’re not into all bridal white, go monochrome.
Greta Gerwig

Instead of finding a dress that’s this specific, we’d like to pair our favorite flowy dress with a statement necklace or thrown on a heart cut-out t-shirt with jeans for a more Lady Bird approved take.
