The Golden Globes always kick off award season. A celebration of film and television, the show is all-encompassing and usually a little cheekier than most, thanks to a long ceremony and boozy dinner. It also marks the first red carpet of the year and a style harbinger of what trends we’ll see celebrities embracing as they promote their projects, attend galas, and accept various accolades throughout 2025.

Tonight, all signs point to an enthusiastic return to glamour in all of its glory—shimmery textures, elegant silhouettes, and embellished evening jackets. The best looks this evening were considered and not too try-hard, striking but not over-the-top or camp like so much of the method dressing we’ve seen over the last few years. The event's best-dressed are simply enchanting, and no doubt they’ll keep that allure turned up and turned out for the rest of the season. Below are the stars of this year’s Golden Globes red carpet.


Monica Barbaro in Dior

Barbaro, who stars in A Complete Unknown as singer Joan Baez, is newer to the red carpet scene than most of her peers on the list tonight, but she showed up to play in this perfect strapless Dior gown. The subtle transparent and pleating are simply lovely.

Zoe Saldaña in Saint Laurent

Saldaña won the first Golden Globe of the night for her supporting role in Emilia Perez, wearing a strapless deep V-neck sequined gown and voluminous cape off-the-shoulder. On the red carpet and on stage tonight, she embodied the hard-to-achieve synergy between old and new Hollywood glamour.

Angelina Jolie in Alexander McQueen

This was the finale dress from Seán McGirr's Spring 2025 collection for McQueen, his sophomore outing as creative director for the label. Jolie wears it impeccably, dripping in tangled crystals like the diva she is—no Maria Callas cosplay necessary.

Cate Blanchett in Louis Vuitton

Blanchett rarely misses on the red carpet, and her gilded Vuitton look tonight was one of her best. It was also the second time she wore it. (The first was during the Cannes film festival last spring.) The Grecian draping, column skirt, and intricate beading at the shoulder were slightly updated and made for truly divine fashion. Big kudos to her for re-wearing.

Michelle Yeoh in Balenciaga

As a colleague pointed out in our Golden Globes fashion Slack channel, Demna knows how to design for the red carpet better than most. Michelle Yeoh has been one of his greatest muses and tonight, in a high neck and mermaid-shaped ruched gown, she nailed it again.

Nicole Kidman in Balenciaga

Again, Demna. Nicole Kidman's one-shouldered silver dress looks like it might fall off of her at any moment, in the most incredible way possible. She looks heavenly, with a little wink. Get it, baby girl.

Kirsten Dunst in Gucci

Chic is a totally overused word when it comes to describing red carpet dressing, but some moments just call for it, at least in its purest form. Kirsten Dunst in Gucci this evening is the IYKYK kind of chic.

Emma Stone

Stone turned up to the Globes this evening with a very cool new pixie cut and a stunning red Vuitton gown cinched at the waist with a sculptural satin belt. Hands in her pockets, Stone looked cool, her glow even more pronounced thanks to the fact that she didn't wear any jewelry.

Demi Moore in Armani Privè

Demi Moore had an extraordinary year thanks to her starring role in The Substance, a film that explores the constructs and illusions of aging and beauty. Her shimmery, strapless Armani Privè gown might be something her character Elisabeth Sparkle would have worn in her glory days. On Moore, it is timeless and stunning, fit for an actress whose star will always burn bright.

Selena Gomez in Prada

Gomez looked incredible in this ice-blue satin column gown with geometric paneling on the skirt. A front-runner for awards season for her starring role in Emilia Perez, she will undoubtedly have one of her most successful years yet. And if she keeps dressing like this, she'll become a bonafide style icon, too.
