The prestigious Canadian Screen Awards of 2026 drew a crowd of fashion elites, rising stars, and industry veterans to the red carpet. Notable attendees included Hudson Williams from ‘Heated Rivalry,’ Mae Martin from ‘Wayward,’ Anna Lambe from ‘North of North,’ and the recipient of the Academy Icon Award, Mike Myers.
Comedian and ‘Kim’s Convenience’ star Andrew Phung hosted this year’s ceremony, which was the highlight of the Canadian Screen Week celebrations and could be streamed on CBC Gem and the CBC YouTube channel. However, a new regulation stipulated that only Canadian citizens and permanent residents were eligible for awards, causing some leads like Connor Storrie from ‘Heated Rivalry’ and Barbie Ferreira from ‘Mile End Kicks’ to be excluded from consideration.
Despite this restriction, Canadian fashion took center stage on the red carpet, with celebrities showcasing designs from local talents and international brands. The event has become a significant platform for Canadian fashion, with stars flaunting outfits from both homegrown and global designers.
