Rachel Brosnahan commanded attention while rocking the red carpet at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California.

On Friday, the 34-year-old actress went braless in a black satin gown with a dramatic keyhole cutout that flaunted her ample bust and hugged her figure. Her elegant ensemble added a modern twist with sequin capped shoulder accents. 

She wore a stunning full face of glam makeup and styled her fiery locks in a chic up-do as her bangs framed her face at the star studded bash. 

The House of Cards star is slated to be a presenter at the 30th annual awards ceremony, tonight.

The Milwaukee, Wisconsin native has previously won two Critics Choice awards.

Both times she won the award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series back in 2018 and 2019 for her role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

At the time, she thanked her father Earl Brosnahan during her acceptance speech for making the evening special and memorable for her.

‘My dad is actually here tonight, which makes this one of the most special nights that I will absolutely never forget,’ she rhapsodized, whose father is the brother of Kate Spade.

The Critics Choice Awards, hosted by Chelsea Handler, are finally taking place at Barker Hangar in the outskirts of LA after twice being delayed due to the LA fires.

But due to the venue’s close proximity to the fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades, ceremony officials decided to push the show to February.

The show was first slated to take place on Sunday, January 12, before being pushed to Sunday, January 26. 

Wicked, Conclave and Shogun lead the nominations.

Wicked scored the most Critics Choice Awards 2025 nominations, including major nods for its stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, as the musical ties Conclave for the most nominations with 11.

Both Wicked and Conclave are also up for the biggest prize of the night in Best Picture.
