Amanda Seyfried makes the wild choice of ditching glam for baggy sweater at Golden Globes party after mocking her meme

2 hours ago 1

Amanda Seyfried was pictured ditching her glam and opting to wear a comfortable sweater to a Golden Globes after party on Sunday.

The Housemaid star, 40, attended a bash at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles after the star-studded awards show, and swapped her stunning white Versace gown for a more casual look.

She kept cozy in a $298 dark navy Reformation Jadey Cashmere oversized v-neck sweater that fell off her shoulder.

The actress — who was caught grimacing at the glitzy ceremony — paired the laid back look with black pants and a matching handbag.

She also let down her blonde tresses, after wearing them in pinned-up curls for the ceremony. 

Seyfried — who recently sparked controversy with her comments about Charlie Kirk following his assassination — appeared to have taken off some of her glam as the night went on and was later seen leaving arm-in-arm with a female pal.

It seems the sweater is a favorite fashion item of the star's, as she was previously seen wearing it on a number of occasions this month, including at an airport in Palm Springs and a Chanel party at the Chateau last week. 

Later on Monday, the star took to her Instagram stories to poke fun of her viral grimace at the Golden Globes.

She shared two photos of her facial expressions paired with a headline about how 300,000 New Yorkers might lose food-stamp benefits following President Donald Trump's cuts.

She captioned the post, 'Me reading another headline about funding cuts.'

Seyfried raised eyebrows at the Golden Globes after cameras caught a series of awkward reactions she made during the night's major acting announcements.

She appeared visibly disappointed when she lost the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture to Rose Byrne.

In a viral clip from the evening, the Emmy-winning star, who was nominated for The Testament of Ann Lee, was caught grimacing briefly before forcing a smile, clapping and standing to applaud the winner.

While some viewers interpreted Seyfried's reaction as petulant, body language expert Judi James offered a more nuanced take to the Daily Mail, explaining that award-season reactions have evolved - and honesty now often replaces forced cheer.

'There are two contrasting ways to react to losing out on an award when you know you're on split-screen,' James explained. 

'The old-school way, which some of the other nominees are doing in this reaction shot, is to perform overkill body language responses of joy, looking more as though they've just won, with screams and open mouthed grins of fake delight.'

She added that in recent years, celebrities have increasingly leaned into humor rather than pretense.

'Recently there has been a growing tendency to reveal or act out the more honest emotions of losing as a kind of a joke though,' James said. 'Celebs will often now show signs of comedy annoyance or anger at losing rather than pretend to be delighted.'

According to James, Seyfried's now-viral grimace appeared more playful than truly irritable.

'Amanda's facial expression here suggests she was joking with the comedy grimace,' she said. 

'Unlike the others on the split screen she doesn't prep any smiling "losers" face, instead she looks down before the winner is called suggesting she had no plans to opt for the fake bravado route.'

However, the expert noted that Seyfried's body language still betrayed how much the moment mattered to her.

'She does look tense here, showing how important a moment it was for her,' James continued. 'She seems to laugh at a joke from the stage, leaning sideways as she does so and the only real "tell" of having found losing hard comes from a hard blink that she does as the winner's name is called and she starts to clap.'

'The exaggerated grimace does look like an attempt to be funny and perhaps more honest than losers who whoop and scream as though they've won,' James added. 'She converts quickly to a smile and a chat, which is her version of the "good losers" face.'

Seyfried's reactions drew renewed attention later in the ceremony when another category was announced.

Cameras appeared to catch her applauding before the winner was revealed and mouthing what some viewers interpreted as 'she's not even here' when Michelle Williams was announced as the winner.

In recent months, the outspoken actress has divided the public after voicing her political views - with many Americans vowing to 'boycott' her work.

There have been calls to 'cancel' Seyfried, who ironically just starred in The Housemaid with Sydney Sweeney, who has also caused ire with her political beliefs.

Seyfried sparked outrage last year when she described Charlie Kirk as 'hateful', days after the MAGA influencer was shot and killed on September 10 at the age of 31, during one of his famous on-campus debates at Utah Valley University.

Despite the backlash she faced, Seyfried refused to apologize for the comment when questioned about it two months later.

She told Who What Wear: 'I'm not f**king apologizing for that. I mean, for f**k's sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes. What I said was pretty damn factual, and I'm free to have an opinion, of course.'
