The 2024 awards season kicked off in style at the Golden Globes – the first major red carpet event of the year.
Compared to the Oscars, the Golden Globes are usually a more relaxed affair, often resulting in a more playful mood on the red carpet. Margot Robbie – star of one of the night’s biggest films, Barbie – was certainly having fun with her outfit.
Robbie wore a series of pink looks for last year’s promotional tour but it seemed she saved the best for last, wearing a custom-made replica 1977 Superstar Barbie outfit by Armani consisting of a hot pink sequinned dress accessorised with a tulle stole.
Taylor Swift arrived in colourful sequins, too – for her, a striking green gown.
The singer, nominated for best cinematic and box office achievement for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, walked the red carpet without her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce, who was busy with a game a few miles away at LA’s SoFi stadium.
Red was the colour of choice for many celebrities. Julianne Moore wore a structured Bottega dress complete with deep pockets – which she said she wished contained snacks to get her through the three-hour show.
Florence Pugh wore a sheer red Valentino gown covered in delicate roses.
Inside she was seen embracing another lady in red, singer Selena Gomez, who wore asymmetric silk Armani Privé.
Ayo Edebiri, star of The Bear, looked stunning in strapless red Prada and later was named best actress in a musical or comedy series.
It wasn’t just the women wearing crimson. Saltburn star Barry Keoghan looked resplendent in red custom Louis Vuitton.
Keoghan is one of several male actors shaking https://makcauhai.com/ things up on the red carpet. Gone are the days when the men all turn up in matching black tuxedos.
Andrew Scott, up for a best actor award for his role in All of Us Strangers, dressed top-to-toe in white.
Timothée Chalamet‘s sequinned Celine Homme jacket was relatively tame compared to some of his previous get-ups.
The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White – who recently became the new face (and body) of Calvin Klein underwear – kept it simple with a black suit, though his sheer shirt hinted at why he landed the modelling gig.
The Last of Us’s Pedro Pascal appeared to be sporting an injury, but his arm sling was dressed fabulously in Bottega Veneta.
For many of the women, black proved to be the go-to option. British actress Rosamund Pike, nominated for her role as an aristocratic matriarch in Saltburn, accessorised her black lace dress with a dramatic matching headpiece – not entirely a fashion choice.
She says the “protective veil” is because she hurt her face in a skiing accident over Christmas.
