Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs, stars of the TV show 'Hacks', made a memorable appearance at the Critics Choice Awards by spoofing the outfits worn by Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner at the premiere
of Chalamet's film 'Marty Supreme'. The duo wore bright orange vinyl outfits, with Downs sporting a ping pong paddle and Stalter donning a large cross necklace. Their playful homage was well-received, adding a humorous touch to the event. 'Hacks' was nominated for best comedy series, and Downs was up for best supporting actor. The event took place amid heavy rain in Southern California, with the vinyl outfits proving practical for the weather.
Why It's Important?
The playful antics of Stalter and Downs highlight the intersection of fashion, entertainment, and humor in award shows, which often serve as platforms for celebrities to make statements or entertain beyond their on-screen roles.
