The 2024 awards season kicked off with a bang at the Golden Globes, marking the return of Hollywood’s elite to the red carpet after a four-month strike disrupted events in the latter half of 2023. As expected, the stars went all out in their fashion choices, showcasing a mix of playful, glamorous, and politically charged looks.
Margot Robbie’s Barbie-Inspired Fun
The Barbie star turned heads with her playful and nostalgic outfit. Robbie donned a custom-made replica 1977 Superstar Barbie outfit by Armani, featuring a hot pink sequined dress paired with a tulle stole. Having sported various pink looks during last year’s promotional tour, Margot certainly saved the best for the Golden Globes.
Taylor Swift’s Dazzling Sequins
Nominated for best cinematic and box office achievement for The Eras Tour, Taylor Swift graced the red carpet in a striking green sequined gown. The vibrant choice added a pop of color to the evening, and while her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce was absent due to a game at LA’s SoFi stadium, Swift shone solo in her dazzling ensemble.
Red Hot Fashion Moments
Red became the color of choice for many celebrities, symbolizing passion and vibrancy on the red carpet. Julianne Moore donned a structured Bottega dress with deep pockets, expressing a wish for snacks to endure the three-hour show.
Florence Pugh wore a sheer red Valentino gown adorned with delicate roses, and Selena Gomez stunned in an asymmetric silk Armani Privé outfit.
Men Breaking Fashion Norms
Male actors brought a refreshing change to the red carpet, breaking away from the traditional black-tie attire. Saltburn star Barry Keoghan impressed in a red custom Louis Vuitton ensemble, while Andrew Scott, nominated for best actor in All of Us Strangers, opted for an all-white ensemble.
Timothée Chalamet’s sequined Celine Homme jacket and Jeremy Allen White’s black suit with a sheer shirt added flair to the men’s fashion choices.
Black Elegance and Fashion Statements
Several women chose the timeless elegance of black for their red carpet appearances. Rosamund Pike, nominated for her role in Saltburn, accessorized her black lace dress with a dramatic matching headpiece.
Jennifer Aniston brought back the iconic “Rachel” haircut from Friends, adding excitement to her custom Dolce & Gabbana black ensemble. Jennifer Lawrence, Angela Bassett, and Greta Gerwig also opted for chic black dresses.
Fashion with a Message
Some celebrities used the red carpet as a platform for political statements. Gillian Anderson donned a dress by designer Gabriela Hearst, embroidered with female anatomy, in protest against restrictions on women’s rights.
Lily Gladstone, known for her standout performance in Killers of the Flower Moon, showcased indigenous craftsmanship with a white Valentino gown and a dramatic black shawl, accessorized with earrings designed by a member of the Blackfeet Tribe.
Musical Stars and Unique Styles
Musical sensations brought their unique styles to the red carpet. Dua Lipa, nominated for best original song, wore a custom black velvet Schiaparelli dress featuring gold “bones” on the bodice and a voluminous bustle skirt. Billie Eilish opted for a mostly thrifted and DIY outfit, combining an oversized jacket, shorts-like skirt, and geek-chic glasses.
Shining Bright
Elizabeth Debicki, honored for her portrayal of Princess Diana in The Crown, shimmered in a metallic gown, and Barbie’s Issa Rae became a real-life golden girl in a dazzling Pamela Roland gown. These shining looks added a touch of glamour to the star-studded affair.
In summary, the 2024 Golden Globe Awards red carpet was a delightful showcase of fashion diversity, from playful nods to nostalgia to powerful statements and timeless elegance. As the first major red carpet event of the year, it set the stage for an exciting and stylish awards season ahead.
