Hollywood A-listers turned up in force Sunday on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, serving up killer looks to launch the showbiz awards season, after being out of sight for months during the industry’s devastating strikes. Here are some of the best fashion moments at the gala, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel:
It’s a Barbie world
Barbie star Margot Robbie, who channelled the iconic doll during the film’s press tour, slayed again in vibrant pink — this time in a shimmering Armani gown and tulle wrap in the image of Superstar Barbie from 1977.
Jennifer Lopez, who hosted a special screening of Barbie for Globes weekend, lit up the carpet in a rosy pink curve-hugging strapless gown with a full cape, its sleeves exploding in floral blossoms.
And presenter Hailee Steinfeld wowed in a soft pink Prada column gown with a train. But Robbie’s co-stars and collaborators didn’t all adopt the doll-inspired dress code.Â
Director Greta Gerwig wore black silk and opera gloves, while America Ferrera, whose monologue is one of the film’s defining moments, embraced the night’s metallics trend in an embellished silver column gown.
Pop sensation Billie Eilish, who won the award for best original song along with her brother Finneas for their contribution to the Barbie soundtrack, embraced librarian chic, while fellow nominee Dua Lipa went for a sculptural black Schiaparelli gown.
Red carpet royalty
Jewel tones are always a red carpet winner, especially in the winter. Best female supporting actor winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers) stunned in a strapless burgundy Rodarte gown with a peplum and a scalloped sequined neckline.
Helen Mirren, the narrator of Barbie and a nominee for her work in the Yellowstone prequel “1923,” was all smiles in an amethyst floor-length gown and a matching coat with ruffled sleeves.
And several opted for take-no-prisoners red. Nominee Julianne Moore (May December) went for understated glamour in a strapless red gown with a square neckline.
Best TV comedy actress nominee Selena Gomez (Only Murders in the Building) wore a halter gown with playful bodice cut-outs and black accents.
Irish actor Barry Keoghan, the star of Saltburn, adopted the red trend in a Louis Vuitton jacket and trousers with contrasting tone-on-tone patterns. He also wore a brooch — a jewellery choice seen on other guests including nominee Colman Domingo (Rustin) and musician/presenter Jon Batiste.
Lingerie looks
Both Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) and Rosamund Pike (Saltburn) took hints from the boudoir for their Globes looks. The two British actresses wore lacy black frocks, though Waddingham’s left far less to the imagination, with corsetry and a head-to-toe see-through silhouette. Pike, in vintage Dior, won the award for the most eye-catching headpiece, with black lace framing her face.
Rock star chic
Of course, Taylor Swift’s arrival at the Golden Globes — without boyfriend Travis Kelce, whose Kansas City Chiefs were playing the Los Angeles Chargers across town — created a major buzz. Swift, whose film version of her Eras Tour show was nominated in the new box office achievement category, shimmered in a green Gucci gown with spaghetti straps and an open back.
Their relationship was the subject of a jab from comedian Jo Koy, who hosted the gala — a joke that Swift visibly did not appreciate.
