The grand event celebrating Canadian excellence in film, television, and digital media attracted a star-studded lineup to the 2026 Canadian Screen Awards. Notable personalities like Hudson Williams from ‘Heated Rivalry,’ Mae Martin of ‘Wayward,’ Anna Lambe from ‘North of North,’ and the esteemed Mike Myers, who received the Academy Icon Award, graced the prestigious red carpet.
Comedian and ‘Kim’s Convenience’ star Andrew Phung hosted the dazzling ceremony, which marked the culmination of Canadian Screen Week festivities and was broadcast live on CBC Gem and the CBC YouTube channel. However, a new regulation restricted awards eligibility to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, leading to some prominent figures like Connor Storrie from ‘Heated Rivalry’ and Barbie Ferreira from ‘Mile End Kicks’ being ineligible for accolades this year.
Despite this, the event remained a prime platform for showcasing Canadian fashion, with local and independent designers alongside international labels adorning the stars. Here are some standout fashion moments from the 2026 Canadian Screen Awards red carpet:
