In true Hollywood fashion, stars oscillated between timeless elegance and bold experiments at the glamorous Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hills Hilton in Los Angeles today. Here’s the fashion rundown.
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman channeled her inner ‘60s bombshell with a silver, sparkly Balenciaga gown that hugged her frame in all the right ways. The dress was glamorous, but her voluminous blonde hair gave us full “retro sex kitten” energy. It was a good look, though the silver tones were a bit too icy for her complexion, making her appear almost ethereal yet slightly washed out.
Demi Moore
Best Actress winner Demi Moore (for The Substance) gave a masterclass in timeless glamour, looking like a literal diamond in an Armani Privé champagne gown. The luxurious fabric draped elegantly over her figure, exuding sophistication and grace. It was luxe, elegant, and everything you’d expect from someone who has been slaying the red carpet game for decades. Moore’s choice was a reminder that true style is about confidence and knowing what works for you.
Miley Cyrus
Popstar Miley Cyrus ditched overt drama for a sleek, rocker-chic aesthetic that oozed tattooed ‘70s star power. Think Cher meets Jane Fonda, but with a modern twist. Her black Celine dress was understated yet fierce, a reminder that sometimes, all you need is attitude and impeccable tailoring. The simplicity of her look allowed her personality to shine through, proving that less can indeed be more.
Cate Blanchett
Cate Blanchett continued her dedication to sustainable fashion by re-wearing her stunning Louis Vuitton gown from Cannes. The intricate design was perfect for the Globes, showcasing her commitment to eco-conscious choices without sacrificing style. However, the heavy yoke of the gown made her look like she was preparing to carry the night’s awards home herself, adding a touch of whimsy to her otherwise polished appearance.
Emma D’Arcy
House of the Dragon star Emma D’Arcy reminded us why they’re the reigning champion of gender-fluid fashion. Their Alexander McQueen ensemble blended masculine tailoring with feminine flair, creating a look that was chic, sharp, and a little bit punk. The unique arrow ear piercing and tooth jewellery added an otherworldly element, making it feel like watching Bowie rise from the ashes of 2025. D’Arcy’s bold choices continue to push the boundaries of traditional red carpet attire.
Elle Fanning
The young star Elle Fanning channeled mid-century Parisian chic in a recreated 1953 Balmain leopard-print gown. She looked like she stepped out of a time machine that exclusively travelled to glamorous fashion houses. However, the colour choice—beige—left much to be desired. It’s a shade that can easily read less “Old Hollywood starlet” and more “beige furniture catalogue.” A bolder colour or pattern might have elevated her look to match her undeniable charm.
Zendaya
Zendaya brought the drama (and a diamond ring on that finger) to the red carpet, ensuring the internet had plenty to discuss. Her Louis Vuitton gown screamed Old Hollywood glam while winking at every Golden Age diva in the cosmos. With her bold colour choice and enough diamonds to fund a small country, she reminded us why she’s red carpet royalty. And the ring? Let’s just say her Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland might want to check his notifications, as speculation swirled about the significance of her dazzling accessory.
Timothée Chalamet
Dune star Timothée Chalamet’s red-carpet choices have gone from avant-garde to “Bob Dylan goes to prom.” While his black suit was fine—safe, even—it lacked the pizzazz we’ve come to expect from him. The scarf felt a touch too pretentious, and the facial hair gave off more “indie band bassist” than “leading man.” Timmy, please bring back the drama; we miss the bold choices that made you a standout.
Jeremy Strong
Jeremy Strong arrived dressed like he just stepped off the set of a Wes Anderson film or a very high-fashion camping trip. A green Loro Piana suede suit paired with a bucket hat for the Golden Globes? It’s eccentric, sure, but somehow, it worked. He looked like Ali G wandered into a luxury boutique and nailed the vibe, proving that fashion can be both playful and sophisticated.
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez kept it classic with a retro-inspired Prada gown, but the high neckline and structured silhouette teetered on the edge of being too formal. While undeniably elegant, a looser hairstyle or a pop of colour might have injected some fun into the look, allowing her vibrant personality to shine through.
Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson is redefining her style narrative, opting for clean lines, casual hair, and minimal makeup that says, “I’ve got nothing to prove.” Her black Oscar de la Renta gown was sleek, severe, and perfectly chic. It’s as if she’s saying, “Take me seriously, but don’t forget—I’m still the cool girl.” Anderson’s evolution on the red carpet reflects a newfound confidence and maturity.
Adam Brody
Adam Brody gave us something to write home about—a rarity for men on the red carpet. His deep-hued tux and statement shoes were pure “Your Boyfriend” energy, striking a balance between casual and sophisticated. However, the scruffy beard? Let’s just say it added a touch of “Waking Up Late for Brunch” vibes, which, while charming, might not have been the best choice for such a glamorous occasion.
The Golden Globe Awards showcased a dazzling array of fashion choices, from the timeless to the avant-garde, reminding us that the red carpet is a canvas for self-expression and creativity. Each star brought their unique flair, contributing to a night filled with glamour, style, and unforgettable moments.
