As the stars prepared to enter the glamorous ballroom at the Beverly Hilton for the 2025 Golden Globes, the anticipation was palpable. The red carpet, a stage for fashion statements and unforgettable moments, was once again set to dazzle. This year’s attendees brought their A-game, showcasing designer looks that could easily rival the finest runways in the world.
The Golden Globes, an annual celebration of excellence in film and television, has long been a platform for not just recognizing talent but also for showcasing stunning fashion. Since its inception in 1944, the event has been synonymous with glamour, and this year was no exception.
Fashion history was made at the Golden Globes long before this year’s event. In 1991, Julia Roberts made waves at just 23 years old, redefining the power suit with her pinstripe blazer and miniskirt ensemble. Fast forward to 1999, when Angelina Jolie turned heads in a crystal-embellished gown by Randolph Duke. Emma Stone’s celestial-themed gown by Valentino in 2017, which she wore while winning her first Golden Globe for La La Land, remains a highlight in the annals of red carpet history. More recently, Margot Robbie channeled her inner Barbie in a bright pink frock by Giorgio Armani Privé at the previous year’s ceremony.
