After a year-long hiatus and many months of the Hollywood writer’s strike, the Golden Globe Awards returned this Sunday, offering attendees the chance to return to the fashion limelight.
The ceremony, traditionally leading the way for the Oscars, gives critics a clue as to which films will lead the way during awards season. The event also lets viewers glimpse some of this year’s fashion trends.
As stars began to arrive at Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton Hotel it quickly became obvious that red was the stand-out color of the night. Selena Gomez arrived in a silky Armani Privé gown, Florence Pugh wearing scarlet Valentino, Heidi Klum’s Sophie Couture dress featuring a peek-a-boo leg slit.
With “Barbie” being the takeover film of the season and being nominated for more Golden Globes than any other film this year, it was no surprise that Margot Robbie arrived in pink. The look was an Armani gown and matching shrug modeled after one worn by the “Superstar Barbie” doll, originally released in 1977.
Oprah Winfrey followed suit with Robbie, nodding to the coming-of-age drama “The Color Purple,” which she co-produced, wearing a custom purple Louis Vuitton gown.
Having a Golden Globe nomination for her film, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” Taylor Swift arrived on the red carpet in a sleek green Gucci dress with De Beers jewelry.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph first gained recognition for her portrayal of Oda Mae Brown in the Broadway production of “Ghost,” but last night Randolph was recognized for her supporting role in “The Holdovers.” Both winning the award and taking over the red carpet, Randolph accepted her award in a Rodarte mermaid dress with a clamshell sequined bodice.
Many of the night’s best-dressed men, including nominee Timothée Chalamet in an all-black Celine Homme look with a bit of shimmer and sparkle, broke from traditional black-tie attire.
Irish actor Barry Keoghan, nominated for his role in “Saltburn,” arrived in head-to-toe red with a Tiffany & Co. piece featuring diamonds and pink sapphires while Colman Domingo, nominated for his role in “Rustin,” wore two golden brooches on his mandarin collar Louis Vuitton jacket.
The night featured other unusual accessories including a black arm sling worn by Pedro Pascal, matching his all-black Bottega Veneta outfit. When asked about the sling during the official red carpet pre-show all he said was, “I fell,” laughing a bit about the sling.
Keoghan’s “Saltburn” co-star Rosamund Pike paired her lace black Dior gown with a veiled fascinator by Philip Treacy after she was injured in a skiing accident last month.
“My face was entirely smashed up,” Pike said during the red carpet pre-show. “Actually it’s healed, but I fell in love with the look.”
