Adam Lambert and Emily Blunt showed up all gussied up for the 15th annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards at the Hollywood Palladium tonight. So did a slew of other celebrities.

Although this was a night to celebrate films, put up by the Broadcast Film Critics Association, it was also a night for show business fashionistas to dress to the nines without being concerned that the entire world would criticize their every clothing choice from head to toe (think the Oscars or the Golden Globes).

In this more low-key event, done up attendees out to take in this fine event seemed to have fun picking out their wardrobes without worrying about being put down by fashion critics. The results are outstanding.Meanhile, perhaps the venue where the awards show took place also inspired all that style and panache.

Indeed, the showy Hollywood Palladium — standing on the spot of the original Paramount Studios — is an Art Deco treasure, done up in streamlined moderne splendor.

Hailing back to the glory days when crooners like Frank Sinatra sang at this venerable establishment (Old Blue Eyes was the Hollywood Palladium’s first headliner on October 31,1940), this Los Angeles landmark provided plenty of glam in the form of a great building. Wide sweeping, tubular ceiling adornments create drama while the carefully crafted theater-in-the-round lets everyone see everything no matter where they are sitting. All this makes going to the Hollywood Palladium a real true Los Angeles treat.
