After making an eye-catching arrival in a cobalt Carolina Herrera dress on Friday at the inaugural WWD Style Awards, Quinta Brunson was back on the carpet, this time for the Golden Globe awards. The actress, who’s nominated for her leading role in “Abbott Elementary,” sparkled before the ceremony in a custom brown Roberto Cavalli gown designed by creative director Fausto Puglisi.

Puglisi wanted to take a sleek and body-conscious approach for Brunson’s look, which he described as modern and classic.

“I kept thinking of velvet,” Puglisi said in a statement about the custom gown. “Velvet is one of my favorite Hollywood fashion sensations. A beautiful chocolate velvet, covered in shining beads. Quinta is a star, and she deserved to shine on her special night.”

Brown velvet also made an appearance, in the form of obi belts, in Puglisi’s 2025 pre-fall collection.

Brunson is nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series — Musical or Comedy, marking her third Golden Globe nomination. She won the award in 2023. “Abbott Elementary,” created by Brunson, is in the middle of airing its fourth season on ABC.
