Barbie, Poor Things and Saltburn took the top film prizes at the 26th Costume Designers Guild Awards, which were handed out tonight at NeueHouse in Hollywood.

Poor Things costume designer Holly Waddingham won for Period Film, and Saltburn‘s Sophie Canale took Contemporary Film. The night’s first film prize went to last year’s biggest film, with Jacqueline Durran winning for Barbie.

Waddingham and Durran also are up for the Best Costume Design Oscar, vying against Killers of the Flower Moon, Napoleon and Oppenheimer.

Since the guild launched its awards show in 1999, the Academy Award for Costume Design has gone to a period film every year but thrice, with only Mad Max: Fury Road (2016), Black Panther (2019), and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2023) bucking the trend.

The 2023 CDGA saw Elvis, eventual Oscar-winner Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery take the top film awards. But Ruth E. Carter went on to win her second Costume Design Oscar, for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

On the small screen, Sharon Long won Excellence in Period TV for The Great.

The evening’s first TV prizes went to A Black Lady Sketch Show and Ahsoka, for Variety, Reality-Competition, Live Television and Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV, respectively. The latter was presented posthumously to Shawna Trpcic, who died last year at 53.

Helen Huang won Excellence in Contemporary Television for Beef, and Excellence in Costume Illustration went to Jason Pastrana for Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire.

Two current Academy Award nominees — a longtime star and a more recently cemented one — got tributes from the Costumer Designers tonight.

Nyad Best Actress nominee Annette Bening received the guild’s Spotlight Award — days after getting a career honor from the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild. The Spotlight prize honors an actor whose talent and career personify an enduring commitment to excellence, including a special awareness of the role and importance of costume design. Bening has Covid and wasn’t able to be at the ceremony tonight.

Billie Eilish received the CDG’s Vanguard Spotlight Award, which celebrates a trailblazer who ignites the imaginations of cognoscenti and audiences alike and sets new standards in their sphere. She is up for Best Song for her Grammy-winning hit Barbie track “What Was I Made For?,” already having won the Oscar for the James Bond theme song “No Time to Die” two years ago.

OPINION - Half the world seems to pity Melania Trump — they couldn't be more wrong
On a day which variously included Donald Trump promising to rename the Gulf of Mexico, virtually all of the January 6 rioters being released, and Elon Musk doing a gesture so reminiscent of the Third Reich that it was actually blurred on Australian and German television, it was a far more pedestrian moment that ended up stealing the show at the presidential inauguration on Monday. Specifically, Melania Trump’s wide-brimmed, face-shielding, Hamburglar-style hat, which seemed to prevent her husband from kissing her. Looking characteristically glum, the outré garb was part of the wider funereal vibe of the all-black outfit Melania picked for the most important day of her husband’s life.
