The Tamesis
What to wear when accepting your first major acting award of award season? For Timothée Chalamet, it’s the core of Marty Mauser. For Owen Cooper and Jacob Elordi, custom Bottega Veneta is everything—Owen Cooper was named the night’s best leather at the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards.
Young British stars of hit TV series puberty Winner for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television. Last year, at just 16, Cooper already made history as the youngest male Emmy winner, a distinction he repeated with the Critics’ Choice Award. Cooper beat out his co-star Ashley Walters, but the show had plenty of wins on the night – Stephen Graham won Best Actor, while Best Supporting Actress went to Erin Doherty.
Cooper, who was also in attendance, wore a cream-and-black padded leather jacket with the brand’s intrecciato pattern on the collar and a zigzag pattern on the placket. Cooper paired it with tailored black pants and soft square-toe black leather shoes. It’s sleek and understated, drawing on the understated sophistication and craftsmanship of the Louise Trotter-led brand. Bottega has been Cooper’s first choice, wearing the brand’s signature leathers and impeccable suiting for the Spring 2026 show in Milan.
