The most well-known celebrities in film and television came together for the ceremony, which took place on Sunday night in Los Angeles. It was an evening that matched significant career achievements with red carpet extravaganza.
The 83rd Golden Globe Awards, held in the center of Hollywood on January 11, 2026, set the tone for the upcoming awards season while recognizing the year’s best performances and projects.
“One Battle After Another” won first place in the musical or comedy category, while “Hamnet” emerged as the greatest drama winner, winning Best Film – Drama.
Timothée Chalamet and Rose Byrne won musical or comic acting accolades, while Jessie Buckley for “Hamnet” and Wagner Moura for “The Secret Agent” won acting prizes in the drama categories.
However, the focus had already gone outside the ballroom long before envelopes were opened inside. With design companies, archival silhouettes, and custom couture subtly vying for recognition of their own sort, the red carpet turned into a visual preamble to the night’s most important moments.
A Carpet Encircled with Style and Self-Assurance
A study in contrast, the arrivals had both dramatic drama and sculpture minimalism, both supported by designers who knew how to control the camera without overpowering it.
Taylor Teyana
Tiffany & Co. jewelry was worn by Teyana, who won Best Supporting Actress for “One Battle After Another,” when she arrived in Schiaparelli.
A trailing halter detail created movement behind her, while her black gown, designed with twists, gathers, and strategic cutouts, struck a balance between constraint and silent spectacle.
Thompson, Tessa
Tessa chose to wear a gold sequined strapless gown by Balenciaga, which clung to her body and glistened in every glint of light.
The small amount of jewelry allowed the craftsmanship to take center stage, and the style depended on texture rather than overabundance.
Jonas, Priyanka Chopra
In a strapless black dress with a voluminous skirt and sculpted satin bodice, Priyanka embraced classic elegance in Dior. The diamond choker and diagonally draped bodice finished off a classic yet powerful ensemble.
Perfetti, Chris
Chris Perfetti’s dopamine-inducing blue Christian Cowan suit and Christian Louboutin heels provided an unexpected pop of color. The suit has a couture edge thanks to architectural tailoring and a metallic floral accent around the waist.
Vintage Notes, Silent Power, and Dark Glamor
Darker color schemes and sculptural forms that prioritized attitude over design were popular among guests.
Odessa A’zion
Odessa accessorized her dramatic black feathery top with high-waisted pants and opera-length gloves, all while sporting classic Dolce & Gabbana. The style had a cool, carefree edge while channeling unreserved glamour.
Roberts, Julia
Julia wore a sleek black dress with a deep plunging neckline and a dramatic crimson pendant necklace for her Armani Privé appearance. Her timeless power on the red carpet was highlighted by the understated styling.
Jordan, Michael B.
Nominated for Best Actor-Drama, Michael from “Sinners” wore a beautifully fitted dark double-breasted suit that combined traditional menswear with modest contemporary accents.
Lopez, Jennifer
Wearing a translucent nude gown adorned with swirling bronze embellishments that flared into a delicate tulle mermaid hem, Jennifer exuded high-glamor sensuality in Jean-Louis Scherrer.
Anderson, Pamela
Pamela chose to go for subtle elegance in Ferragamo, wearing an ivory outfit with a softly draped shirt tucked into a floor-skimming, high-waisted skirt and little accessories.
Lawrence, Jennifer
Jennifer looked stunning in Givenchy’s translucent, nude-toned gown, which featured minimal jewelry, a plunging neckline that adds contemporary sensuality, and delicate flower embroidery that seems to glide across her shape. The gown was accented by strategic cuts.
Buckley, Jessie
The winner of the evening’s Best Actress-Drama award, Jessie, made her appearance in Dior, donning a pale blue off-the-shoulder gown with delicate flower details and a softly draped, wrap-style design.
Chic Combinations and Subtle Announcements
Rather than being just characterized by spectacle, some of the most memorable red carpet moments of the evening were characterized by subtly expressing stories through shared appearances, personal achievements, and clothing choices that had deeper significance than just the fabric.
Clooney, Amal
In Balmain, Amal looked stunning as she walked onto the carpet next to her husband, George Clooney. Her silhouette was enhanced by the flowing skirt and ruched bodice of her form-fitting red gown.
Together, the remarkable couple’s moment beneath the lights was generated by the contrast between the classic tailoring and the vibrant hue.
Steinfeld, Hailee
Hailee confirmed her pregnancy in a dazzling blush-toned gown while looking stunning with Prada and Repossi jewelry.
Her baby bulge was subtly accentuated by the long-sleeved, fitting silhouette; a delicate choker and side-swept waves finished the ensemble, which exuded warmth and quiet confidence.
Kevin Hart and Eniko
Eniko and Kevin wore a Patek watch when they coordinated in Louis Vuitton. She looks stunning in a form-fitting, champagne-toned corset gown with elaborate details, while Kevin dons a textured dark suit and a clean white shirt. In contrast to a dramatic, body-contouring style, the combo emphasizes structured menswear.
Classic Hollywood with a Modern Edge
With bold styling decisions and a modern attitude that kept these ensembles firmly rooted in the present, timeless glamor made a proud comeback on the carpet.
Gomez, Selena
Wearing a floor-length black gown with a spectacular off-the-shoulder white feathery neckline, Selena looked stunning in Chanel. Bold red lipstick and vintage-inspired waves created a classic Hollywood look with a modern twist.
Cyrus Miley
Miley chose Saint Laurent, showing up in a beautiful black gown covered in sequins that had a plunging neckline and dramatic pleated shoulders. Layered necklaces, disheveled blonde curls, and dark sunglasses complemented a style that combined red carpet polish with rock star confidence.
Statements That Go Beyond Style
There were moments on the red carpet with significance that went far beyond style.
Mosaku Wunmi
Wearing a flowing yellow gown designed by Matthew Reisman, Wunmi announced her pregnancy. Later, she shared some very personal thoughts.
“I have some updates. Sacred, intimate, and lovely news. “Really, a prayer,” she wrote. “It’s something I want to hold close — to nurture quietly, to meditate on and manifest with those who can truly hold me in the light as all this beauty and change unfolds.”
“This kind of news is not really announced in my Nigerian culture,” she continued. It is intended to be safeguarded. I feel like this is one of the few things that really belong to me, which is why everything in me is reluctant to share it publicly, not because I’m not appreciative or happy.”
Garner, Jennifer
It was Jennifer’s first time on the Golden Globes red carpet in thirteen years. Her most recent appearance was with her then-husband, Ben Affleck, in 2013.
She wore a Cong Tri gown to the event. Later, the designer made a subtle but significant return by reposting her ensemble on Instagram.
A Blend of Original Works and Moments Deserving of Remarks
This section of the carpet showcased originality, workmanship, and the ability of personal style to create excitement, featuring everything from custom couture to ensembles that generated online discussion.
Stone, Emma
Emma showed up wearing a unique Louis Vuitton ensemble that included a sculpted ivory crop top and a column skirt encircled by gold that shimmered with movement.
Her short, sleek haircut and bright smile lend a fresh, youthful finish, while the clean lines and exposed stomach create a mix between fun and sophisticated.
Seyfried, Amanda
Amanda delivered old-Hollywood beauty by pairing Tiffany jewelry with Atelier Versace. She wore a white strapless dress with a matching wrap over her arms, delicate draping, and a tiny front slit.
Domingo Colman
Colman donned a personalized Valentino that featured silver floral appliqués that fell over one shoulder. Sleek and self-assured, the monochromatic tailoring features ornamental elements that give the ensemble originality and red carpet flair without taking over.
Kravitz, Zoë
Zoë chose an Anthony Vaccarello custom Saint Laurent. A delicate ribbon gently tightens the waist of the peach-toned slip dress, which has lace panels at the bodice and hem.
In striking contrast to the grandiose red carpet scene, the soft fabric, minimalist silhouette, and barely-there styling create a lovely, modest moment.
Ariana Grande
Ariana made an appearance wearing a gown designed by Vivienne Westwood Couture. A dazzling choker gives a hint of traditional glamour, and the textured fabric offers depth and movement. Online reactions are sparked by her elegantly balanced bold design, which is complemented by her delicate makeup and sleek updo. “Lookin healthier,” one reader remarked, while another said, “She looks a little healthier here.”
Ramsey Bella
Bella showed up wearing a personalized Prada outfit. A broad, glossy pink belt that was twisted into a bold bow and wrapped over the chest gave their fitted black suit a whimsical touch on formal attire.
Del Toro Benicio
Benicio wore Giorgio Armani when he went out. His classic black suit, white shirt, and bow tie epitomize classic red carpet elegance. The elegant dress shoes and well-tailored clothing accentuate the traditional style.
Joe Alwyn Joe was dressed in Dior. Wearing a traditional black tuxedo enhanced by a deep navy velvet jacket with satin lapels, he walked onto the carpet. His easy stance adds contemporary ease, but the clean white shirt and shiny black shoes maintain the look’s timeless appeal.
Cooper, Owen
Bottega Veneta was Owen’s choice. A monochromatic light-gray outfit is the fashion-forward, minimalist approach. The loosened pants and belted jacket produce a simple, functional silhouette that is subtle but deliberate.
Goggins, Walton
In Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent, Walton made a daring statement. The classic tailoring is given drama and personality by the metallic top, which draws attention without overpowering the ensemble.
With one hand in his pocket, the ensemble exudes self-assurance, style, and unreserved expressiveness.
Skarsgård, Stellan
In a casual yet victorious moment, Stellan Skarsgård, who won Best Supporting Actor for “Sentimental Value,” showed up in custom Zegna with his Golden Globe trophy.
Younger Faces and Distinctive Characteristics
This ensemble exuded bold uniqueness and fresh vitality, and their youthful charm and unmistakable presence had an impact equal to that of couture.
Jupe Jacobi
Jacobi, 12, who starred in “Hamnet” (2025), was one of the youngest attendees. He wore a simple white shirt with satin-trimmed lapels and a burgundy velvet jacket.
McCloud, Duke
Duke received positive responses on the internet while wearing a pale teal double-breasted suit, a white shirt, and ornamental lapel pins. He is a “Star in the making,” according to commenters, who also said, “Hes [sic] adorable whoever he is!!” and “If handsome had a face.”
Curda Piper
Wearing a dramatic red tiered tulle gown, a fitted jacket, and a dramatic red headdress with feathers, Piper embraced theatrical flare. The ensemble exudes a sense of playfulness, excitement, and unreserved expressiveness.
Dogg Snoop
Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., better known by his stage name Snoop Dogg, wore a black double-breasted suit with a striking crimson sash to combine contemporary edge with red carpet power.
The emphasis eventually shifted back to speeches and awards as the evening wore on.
Nevertheless, even after the ceremony was over, pictures of the exquisite clothing, the private remarks, and the surprising combinations went viral, highlighting the Golden Globes’ enduring status as both an awards ceremony and a fashion barometer.
