Hacks’ Stars Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs Stun at 2026 Critics Choice Awards
In a night filled with glamour and surprises, comedians Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs stole the show at the 31st Critics Choice Awards. The duo arrived dressed in nearly identical outfits, channeling the iconic looks of Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, who wore similar ensembles to the Los Angeles premiere of Marty Supreme.
Matching Outfits and Glam
The Hacks stars posed on the red carpet in striking orange outfits, mirroring the glamorous styles of the A-list couple. While Kylie and Timothée opted for custom orange Chrome Hearts, Meg and Paul’s ensembles were crafted by the talented LA-based designer Erica D. Schwartz.
Paul, 43, complemented his look with a black bag and orange boots, reminiscent of Timothée’s style. Meg, 35, accessorized with a silver bracelet, necklace, and a pair of orange heels, adding her unique touch to the ensemble.
Nominations and Achievements
The fourth season of Hacks, led by Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, premiered in April 2025 and has been critically acclaimed. The show is nominated for Best Comedy, and Paul received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as talent manager Jimmy.
Timothée Chalamet, 30, is also expected to attend the Critics Choice Awards, where he is nominated for Best Actor for his portrayal of table tennis legend Marty Supreme. Fans are eager to see his reaction to Meg and Paul’s tribute looks.
Meg Stalter’s Eccentric Style
Meg Stalter, known for her role as assistant-turned-agent Kayla on Hacks, is renowned for her eccentric outfits at awards shows and Hollywood events. At the 2025 Emmys, she made a statement with jeans, a white t-shirt, and a black tote bag emblazoned with the message “Cease fire!”.
A month prior, she sported a long, strawberry-blonde wig and a strapless t-shirt featuring a graphic of herself in front of an American flag, proclaiming, “Meg Stalter is the prettiest girl in the world,” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. When asked about her outfit, she humorously remarked, “Well, so many people kept saying it, I thought it was probably time to put it on a damn shirt.”
