The Golden Globes were recently hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, kicking off the 82nd airing of the ceremony. Nominees win awards for their excellence in film and television productions and receive a golden trophy keepsake to remind them of their achievements. On one of the biggest nights in Hollywood, stars get the chance to showcase their unique fashion on a red carpet in front of screaming paparazzi. Walking the red carpet is one of the event’s highlights, and designers everywhere dream of hearing the question “Who are you wearing?” from an interviewer to a celebrity sporting their look.
Starting off strong with crazy designs, Melissa McCarthy pulled up to the elegant celebration in a massive, flower-like, hot pink cape and pantsuit from Christian Siriano. The cape’s layers of ruffles are supposed to represent a peony in bloom, and McCarthy showed off the beautiful design with joy on the red carpet.
Kerry Washington strutted in with a similar outfit but a sleeker silhouette. Her hot pink gown designed by Balenciaga stunned viewers. The stark contrast between her black gloves and bright dress cemented her “wow factor” at the Globes.
Though many celebrities and social icons alike threw their hat in the ring to try to be noticed on the red carpet, only a few keep getting mentioned time and time again. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are big names in the fashion realm of Hollywood, and the internet loved their coordinated looks for the Golden Globes. Fans of Demi Moore praised her uniquely designed dress referencing her recent movie, “The Substance.”
The men of Hollywood kept it simple this year, sporting the same suits we’ve seen for decades. Jeremy Strong tried to spice things up with a teal-velvet suit but failed to be relevant. Robbie Williams attempted to dazzle in a silver patterned suit despite his new movie “Better Man” being a box office flop.
The most popular colors of this year’s red carpet were gold and pink. Classic and timeless, gold will remain a staple in the fashion industry forever. Hot pink was a surprise contender, seeing as it can be difficult to style, and it doesn’t fit well with the red undertones of the carpet. However, the looks worked well on everyone and perhaps changed the opinions of those who don’t like pink and red together.
Red carpet events are one of the most important showcases in the fashion world. Celebrities came to show off and they accomplished that goal. Fashion continues to be key in the world of the famous and allows for expression and art to be represented in everyday wear.
