Whatever Kaley's big theory to break away from the tradition red carpet gowns was, it did not prove successful in Santa Monica, California, on Sunday night.

Style slip ups: Kaley Cuoco, Allison Williams and Michelle Monaghan all tried to make style leaps at the annual Critics' Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California, on Sunday night but all three missed the target
Look pretty in petal pink like Kaley
Looking pretty like the first day of Spring (in December) Kaley arrived at the Critics Choice Awards wearing this gorgeous pastel ensemble by Noon by Noor.
This dramatic ruffle embellished top features a high low silhouette with a floor sweeping train that she paired perfectly with some fitted trousers.
These pretty pastel pants hailed from Noon by Noor's Spring collection so sadly, we won't be able to get our hands on Kaley's exact pair till next year.
In the meantime, why don't you refresh your winter wardrobe with a bit of color and shop our favorite alternatives in the edit below?
The 32-year-old star stepped out at the Barker Hangar in a pink two piece Noon By Noor.
While the designer normally provides Best Dressed List guarantees, Kaley did not get one of those.
Instead the star wore cropped pants which sat very low on her hips with a textured strapless top.
The top was short at the front showing off a hint of belly, and flowed out into a long train at the back.

Green around the gills: Co-star Rami tried to embrace the fabric of the season, velvet, but his choice of light olive colour meant he missed the fashion mark
It was 26-year-old's Thakoon creation that covered her top half, well almost covered her top half, that let her down.
The top come dress was cropped at the front flaunting her toned tum but, like Kaley's look, was longer at the back falling in pleats.

What would Carrie say? While she is a star of one of television's most stylish shows of all time, Sex And The City's Cynthia Nixon made style misstep in a red and pink satin gown which would have been suited more to the 1996 Critics' Choice Awards than the 2016

Not a podium finish: The Bronze star Haley Lu Richardson wore a sheer nude Opening Ceremony gown that has been the go-to look of late but her decision to wear a mismatched black slip under the gown certainly did not win her fashion gold
The 28-year-old also decided to hide away her natural beauty under heavy makeup which, combined with the beaded gown, culminated for an overdone look.
While she is a star of one of television's most stylish shows of all time, Sex And The City's Cynthia Nixon made style misstep in a red and pink satin gown which would have been suited more to the 1996 Critics' Choice Awards than the 2016.
While her look was dated, wearing the trend of the day also caused a fashion struggle for others.
