Zendaya
Zendaya set the bar sky-high in Louis Vuitton, embraced in a burnt orange gown that felt like a sunset distilled into fabric. Paired with BVLGARI jewels, she walked the carpet like it was a canvas, and she, the artist.
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman floated through the evening in custom Balenciaga, a draped creation so effortlessly elegant it might as well have come with a breathy soundtrack. She made looking this good seem as easy as blinking.
Anna Sawai
In custom Dior, Anna Sawai was a vision in white with a gown that required 450 painstaking hours to create. The small peplum detail added a delightful bit of whimsy.
Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivo defied gravity in a custom Louis Vuitton gown adorned with silver floral embellishments. Her floating-tier accent was enchanted entirely, leaving us all to bask in her orbit.
Naomi Watts
Naomi Watts blossomed in Schiaparelli, her gown adorned with 300 organza petals that descended into a soft pink flourish. The darker upper half of the look played yin to the petals’ yang, making her a living paradox of softness and edge.
Michelle Yeoh
Michelle Yeoh, clad in a regal black Balenciaga gown, made minimalism look maximalist. The high neckline and Cartier jewels were a study in understated luxury.
Mikey Madison
Mikey Madison took the term “Golden Globes” literally in a shimmering custom Bottega Veneta gown. Looking like Hollywood’s new golden girl, she brought a touch of Midas magic to the carpet.
Emma Stone
Emma Stone lit up the evening in custom Louis Vuitton. Wrapped in a red fabric that glowed like the holidays weren’t quite over, her pixie cut and effortless poise tied the entire look into a chic bow.
Demi Moore
The Demi Moore-naissance reached its peak with a liquid gold Armani Privé gown. Radiant and statuesque, Moore reminded everyone why she remains an enduring icon of beauty and style.
Zoe Saldaña
Zoe Saldaña was the ultimate chocolate fantasy in a rich brown Saint Laurent gown. A dramatic cape and plunging jewelry made her look like she’d just walked out of Mount Olympus and decided to upstage everyone.
Keri Russell
Keri Russell’s Stéphane Rolland gown was a bold sci-fi dream. With strong shoulders, a lapel neckline, and a caped design, it merged futuristic edge with high-fashion finesse.
Elle Fanning
Elle Fanning revived vintage couture with a Balmain gown inspired by the brand’s 1953 archives. Sophisticated and striking, she proved there’s nothing wild about a red carpet leopard.
Zoe Kravitz
Zoe Kravitz didn’t reinvent the wheel in her Saint Laurent gown, but when the wheel is this perfect, why bother? A sleek black dress with a white ribbon trailing behind her, she was a modern Audrey Hepburn with sharper edges.
Dakota Fanning
Dakota Fanning was the very definition of a blonde bombshell in Atelier Versace. Draped in red with folds that seemed to pour onto her, she reminded us all why this color will forever own the red carpet.
Cate Blanchett
Cate Blanchett, ever the sustainable queen, re-wore her Louis Vuitton gown from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. Solid gold and religious, the gown felt like a relic from a sacred temple, or a knight’s armor fashioned for a crusade.
The stars at the 82nd Golden Globes dressed to rewrite the rulebook. With jewel tones that shimmered like fine wine, drapery that rivaled the gods, and liquid gold ensembles worthy of legend, the red carpet became a stage for old-school glamour with a wink toward the future. If this is how 2025 is starting, fashion’s golden age might just be getting its second act.
