As awards season is underway, the Golden Globes featured some show stopping looks.
Hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, this year’s Golden Globes aired live on January 11 from The Beverly Hilton.
The nominations saw One Battle After Another nine times, the film winning four of those nominations. Sentimental Value had eight nominations while Ryan Coogler’s Sinners had seven nominations. The latter walked away with two Golden Globes while the former walked away with one award.
Before actors, directors, writers, and industry veterans gathered in The Hilton Beverly, they walked the red carpet in their finest dress, suits, and luxurious outfits.
Amanda Seyfried’s Custom Versace Dress Takes a Quirky Spin on Classic and Timeless Style
A white and strapless gown drapes on Seyfried’s body in a diagonal manner, complete with a dramatic train and stole, as she takes on the ceremony’s red carpet. She paired the dress with a yellow-gold and diamond Tiffany & Co. necklace.
Seyfried’s stylist Elizabeth Stewart describes the actress’ style as classic and timeless with a quirky streak. The custom Versace dress, which took 400 hours to complete, blended 1950s Old Hollywood glamour with contemporary touches.
“It’s very flattering to have something built for you,” Seyfried said during the final fitting for the gown. When told about the 400-hour construction time, the actress’ eyes bulged in awe.
Seyfried was nominated for two awards — Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for The Testament of Ann Lee and Best Performance by a Female Actor in Limited/Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television for her role in Long Bright River.
The actress went viral for her reaction to losing the latter to Michelle Williams, who won for her role in Dying for Sex. Seyfried could be seen clapping before Williams was officially announced as the winner, and later mouthing “oh, she’s not here.”
Ayo Edebiri Graced the Red Carpet in an Off-the-Shoulder, Crystal-Embellished Gown
Paired with jewelry from Tiffany & Co., Edebiri’s Chanel dress features two silver and emerald brooches on each shoulder of the two-toned gown. She spoke about her relationship with fashion in Vogue’s October 2025 profile of her.
“One of the fun parts of getting to do this sort of thing is that you get to transform and be these different permutations of yourself,” she said. “Maybe in a way that I might not necessarily choose to present myself when I’m working.”
Edebiri’s red carpet appearances have become a staple during award season as she’s notably worn looks from Prada, Ferragano, and Chanel.
The 0ff-the-shoulder look accompanied the actress to the ceremony, for which she was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series — Musical or Comedy.
The nomination is for her role in “The Bear” as Sydney Adamu, a show about chefs in a beloved Chicago restaurant. She won in that very category at last year’s ceremony. She previously won an Emmy award, a Screen Actors Guild award, and a Critics Choice Award for the same role.
Even though Edebiri didn’t walk away with an award from this year’s Golden Globes, she did present the Best Limited/Anthology Series or TV Movie award alongside Hailee Steinfeld.
Charli XCX Arrived in Black-and-White Saint Laurent Dress, Ushering in a New Fashion Era
The black-and-white ensemble features a black, feathered corset with a plunging neckline. A black bow hangs from the top as it contrasts the white, floor-length gown. The singer’s stylist, Chris Horan, spoke with Vogue’s executive fashion news and features editor Alice Newbold about the artist’s fashion evolution.
“We always play with contrasts,” Horan told Newbold in the spring of 2024. During that time, Charli XCX released her sixth studio album “Brat.” As described by Newbold, the “Brat” era featured a “two-fingers-up approach to fashion.” One that features ripped up high-fashion items to wear to a rave or “flinging a vintage YSL leather jacket in a club booth” and not checking to see if it’s still there.
With Charli XCX stepping into the world of film, Horan is stepping away from the club kid aesthetic and stepping into the glamor of Hollywood.
During this year’s Golden Globes, she presented the Best Song Motion Picture award alongside Joe Keery.
Chase Infiniti and Her Golden Globes Debut Features a Fashion Moment of Shiny Mirrors
The One Battle After Another actress wore an embellished silver corset gown by Louis Vuitton paired with jewels from De Beer London. Infiniti’s custom corset bustier features a mirror material outlined in crystals, resulting in a shiny peplum top.
She was nominated for her role as Willa in One Battle After Another for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy.
“I can’t believe what’s happened. Of course, I’m hopeful for the film to get love and continued support as it has been, which I feel so grateful that we have,” Infiniti told The Hollywood Reporter about the film’s praise and award season nods. “But I definitely was really anxious going to sleep last night. I tried not to think about it, but I tried to put as much positive energy and good energy out into the universe as I could.”
Infiniti is slowly becoming a staple within the world of fashion as she continues to pump out look after look for various film events around the world.
During the AFIA Awards on Jan. 9, she sported an above-the-knee floral dress from Oscar de la Renta. She previously wore another Louis Vuitton look for the Critics Choice Awards, a jaw-dropping two-piece yellow gown — one that features a top that drapes down Infiniti’s back. Infiniti also wore a pink Gianvito Rossi gown featuring a mermaid skirt for this year’s Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards.
As the award season continues to rave on, Infiniti continues to keep her name on everyone’s minds — in the worlds of both film and fashion.
Chase Sui Wonders Comes Through with Balenciaga Gown
Another Chase stuns the ceremony’s red carpet, this time with a green Balenciaga gown. The rich color allows the drama without trying too hard, which suits the actress all too well. Wonders paired the gown with the Hands necklace and Flame ear clips from Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany & Co.
The Michigan-born actress studied film and production at Harvard University, graduating magna cum laude in 2018. She began her career with the 2009 film A Trivial Exclusion, though her latest work was Apple TV’s “The Studio” as Quinn Hackett.
Even though Wonders wasn’t nominated for an award, she graced the red carpet with her green dress that featured a bow tied in the back of the gown — tying the whole look together.
Colman Domingo’s Subtle Look Graces the Red Carpet in Yet Another Fab Look
The actor wore an all-black Valentino suit dripped in diamond ivy brooches from Boucheron’s Histoire de Style High Jewelry line. The entire line will be revealed on January 26 during Paris Couture Week.
Domingo also wore a Boucheron Quatre Black Edition ring with white gold diamonds, and the Quatre Radiant Edition diamond-clad single ear clip. The luxury jewelry brand announced Domingo as a “Friend of the Maison” in one of their recent Instagram posts.
“Actor, writer, director and producer, Coleman embodies a rare blend of audacity and creative freedom — qualities that resonate deeply with Boucheron’s spirit,” the post read. “With acclaimed performances across film, television and stage and a distinctive sense of style, Coleman Domingo represents a powerful vision of contemporary expression. Welcome to the family!”
In 2017, Boucheron launched its Lierre de Paris jewels, paying homage to its original ivy designs. The designs worn by Domingo at the Golden Globes are an extension of this collection, a callback to Boucheron’s passion for naturalistic designs.
On his way to the awards ceremony, during a phone call with Vanity Fair, he spoke to the subtlety of his outfit for the evening.
“I feel a bit more laid-back because there are no real stakes for me,” Domingo told the publication. “It’s actually nice to sit back and just create moments to honor people who are so well deserved.”
“I just didn’t want to over-stunt,” he said with laughter.
Domingo has been previously nominated for two Golden Globes, both for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture Drama — one in 2023 for Rustin and another in 2024 for Sing Sing. The actor presented the award this year alongside Diane Lane, which Wagner Moura won for his role in The Secret Agent.
Jenna Ortega Showcases Her Fashion Prowess as She Taps into Low Rise and Symmetrical Cutouts
The Wednesday actress sported a two-piece gown from Dilara Findikoglu’s Spring 2026 line that featured a turtle neck top with black fringe sleeves. The sides of the top are completely cut out with only a sliver of fabric along the waist.
The floor-length and low-rise skirt draped along the red carpet, hiding a pair of Christian Louboutin heels. Ortega paired the gown with earrings and rings from Simone Jewels.
For Teen Vogue, Style Director Alyssa Hardy describes Ortega’s glam that completed the gothic look.
“While her brown hair was pulled loosely back, and eyebrows were classically…bleached, her lips were neutral with a grayish liner that fit perfectly with her gothy aesthetic,” Hardy wrote.
Ortega worked with stylist Enrique Melendez for the look, who has been behind the actress’ iconic looks since she was 14-years-old. The duo worked together for her Golden Globes debut in 2023, during which she was nominated for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy TV Series for her role in Netflix’s Wednesday.
Ortega wore an “ethereal goddess-like brown Gucci gown” to that ceremony, per PEOPLE Magazine. She layered a few silver Tiffany & Co. necklaces while keeping a soft glam look.
This year’s Golden Globes saw Ortega nominated for the same category for the same role, though she didn’t walk away with the statue.
Jessie Buckley Not Only Shines on Stage, But Shines on the Red Carpet with Ice Blue Ensemble
The Irish actress came in strong for her Golden Globes debut with an ice-blue strapless dress, a Dior piece designed by Jonathan Anderson.
The satin gown featured floral detailing and an asymmetrical neckline as well as a thigh-high leg slit. Buckley paired the gown with heels in a similar shade of light blue and sparkling diamond stud earrings.
Not only did she shine on the red carpet, she shined during the ceremony as she won Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her role in Hamnet.
“It’s so inspiring to be in this room with artists who have inspired me from the ground up,” Buckley said in her emotional acceptance speech. “I am nothing without all of you here. I love being part of this village.”
Hamnet was nominated for five other awards, including Best Motion Picture, Drama and Paul Mescal’s nomination for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture.
Joe Alwyn’s Navy Blue Ensemble Serves Dashing Looks
The actor, and Buckley’s Hamnet co-star, graced the red carpet in dark blue Dior tuxedo with a Hublot watch.
The ensemble drew more attention when Alwyn experienced a wardrobe malfunction as the Hamnet cast accepted the award for Best Motion Picture, Drama.
While the cast posed for photos with their statues, Alwyn’s button-up shirt popped open. Director Chloé Zhao came to the rescue as fellow co-star Noah Jupe stood in front of the pair to hide the mishap from view.
Hamnet walked away with two awards that night after being nominated for six in total, including Best Director and Best Screenplay.
As for Alwyn’s Hublot watch, he wore the brand’s Classion FusionKing Gold Blue 42mm complete with a matching alligator strap. The watch matched perfectly with the velvet Dior suit, which came from the brand’s Pre-Fall 2026 Menswear collection.
Michael B. Jordan’s Prada Suit Takes Inspiration from Sinners
The custom Prada suit takes strong inspirations from the 1930s and the stylish twins in Sinners with the double-breasted jacket, dark tie, and slick loafers.
Jason Bolden, the stylist behind Jordan’s look, has been working with the star since the pandemic. He notes that Jordan wanted to lean into the Sinners characters, quietly nodding to their savvy style.
“There’s some quiet nods to his characters in Sinners. It was the magic of Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Miles Davis. You see that in the suiting and how sharp everything is,” Bolden said.
Even though Bolden compiled the details to Jordan’s ensemble, he doesn’t take credit for finding the tinted glasses. Jordan found them at a family-owned boutique while on a trip to Japan. Not only did he wear the vintage frames, he also wore David Yurman earrings, bracelet, and ring as well as a vintage Patek Philippe watch.
Bolden told GQ that the watch went to auction at one point, though Jordan tracked it down and bought it again.
Sinners walked away with two statues out of its seven nominations, notably Best Original Score.
Owen Cooper Takes Young Talent to Another Level in Custom Bottega Fit
The 16-year-old British actor took audiences’ breath away in his performance in “Adolescence,” he also took our breath away with his fashion on the red carpet.
Cooper’s custom outfit from Bottega Veneta serves as “an enlightening insight into how the boys of [Gen Z] are interpreting formalwear,” per GQ. The boxy gray ensemble came from the mind of Aimee Croysdill, a London-based stylist who previously worked with Laura Haddock for her 2017 press run for Transformers: The Dark Knight.
Speaking with British Vogue at the time, Croysdill notes that working with the makeup and hair team could help make the outfit pop. Not only that, but being intentional with both the design and time is just as important.
“The biggest trick is having an incredible hair and make-up team which you can collaborate with. It’s like the icing on a cake, the outfit comes to life when every aspect is polished and perfect,” Croysdill said. “I also believe that everything should be tailored to the nth degree, I’m not a last-minute tit tape kind of stylist.”
Croysdill has also worked with Nicola Coughlan, star of Netflix’s Bridgerton, since the beginning of the show’s initial press run. The duo have been playing with different styles throughout the awards seasons and the show’s press runs throughout the years.
As Cooper took on a different approach to formalwear, with the help of Croysdill, he also made history at the awards ceremony as he was its youngest winner for the Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series award — the second youngest Golden Globe winner of all time. He took home the statue for his role in one of Netflix's newest shows, “Adolescence.”
Teyana Taylor Serves with Brave Cutouts and a Custom Gown
Taylor hit the red carpet with a custom Schiaperelli gown with cutouts snaked across her chest. The dress featured a halter train ruched at the top and draped down her back as well as a crystal thong and bow — what Taylor described as a “party in the back.” She paired the gown with Taylor jewelry in the name of a ring, bracelet and earrings.
The actress’ glam paired well with the ensemble, featuring a smoky black eyeline and a dark rose-taupe lip liner. She opted for her signature pixie cut with soft waves throughout.
As she presented a fashion moment on the carpet, she also took home Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for her performance as Perfidia in One Battle After Another. The statue served as Taylor’s first Golden Globe nomination and win of her career.
Wunmi Mosaku Debuts Pregnancy During Golden Hour
The Nigerian-British actress arrived to the ceremony’s red carpet in a custom Matthew Reisman gown. As Mosaku glowed in the canary-yellow ensemble, she paired it with Messika jewelry and metallic heels from Stuart Weitzman.
As she arrived on the red carpet, Vogue published a personal essay by Mosaku about why she chose the Globes to announce her pregnancy.
“Everything in me resists sharing it publicly — not because I’m not grateful or joyful, but because this feels like one of the few things that truly belongs to me,” Mosaku wrote.
Mosaku continued: “I’ve been advised to get ahead of speculation and questions. Keen eyes mean guesswork has already begun. Is she pregnant? Has she gained weight? What’s with the outfit?”
The custom gown embodies a Yoruba phrase: Iya ni Wúrà — which translates to “mother is golden.” Upon seeing the sketches for the custom made dress, she knew it was the right dress and the right moment.
