Celebrities in Bottega Veneta for the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards
At the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards, Bottega Veneta delivered a cohesive showing across womenswear and menswear designed by Louise Trotter. Britt Lower, Jacob Elordi, and Owen Cooper each interpreted the house’s aesthetic in distinct ways, while still speaking the same design language.
Unexpected From Every Angle
Britt Lower stepped out in an intriguing Bottega Veneta Spring 2026 open-back top and trousers. From the front, the look reads clean and minimal, though some might find the drape a touch heavy; from the back, the open silhouette delivers the surprise.
It’s that reveal that amplifies the outfit’s edge. The amber-hued Bottega Veneta Sofia pumps initially feel like an off-note, but when you factor in her hair, they click into place. Tiffany & Co. jewellery — including Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany & Co. Banana Dot ear clips in yellow gold with black enamel — added a graphic finish.

Same House, New Mood
Jacob Elordi wore Bottega Veneta again in a custom suit with a leather tie and Roma lace-up shoes, but this wasn’t a repeat of his Palm Springs moment. The colour story shifted, the attitude sharpened, and the overall feel was more fluid thanks to the tonal palette. Where Palm Springs felt relaxed, this read as more assertive.

Brown Isn’t Going Anywhere
Owen Cooper quietly reinforced that brown isn’t a passing trend; it has staying power as showcased in his custom Bottega Veneta look. The leather jacket, finished with an Intrecciato collar, feels like familiar territory for Owen, who clearly favours this silhouette over a more traditional blazer. The result, as always, felt youthful.
