The Best Dressed Celebrities in Golden Globes Red Carpet History

The “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” hitmaker—who was nominated for Best Actress is a musical or comedy for her role in Dream Girls at the 2007 award ceremony—dazzled in a halter neck gown by Elie Saab and matching bedazzled jewelry. 

Mother Monster was pretty in periwinkle as she won Best Original Song for “Shallow” from A Star is Born in a dramatic Valentino ensemble complete with bulbous sleeves. 

The Steel Magnolias actress—who won Best Supporting Actress in a motion picture at the 1990 Golden Globes—stunned in an oversized Georgio Armani suit and ‘80s-inspired hair.

The Friends star glittered down the 1997 Globes red carpet in a high-neck Valentino dress and coordinating clutch. Matching her signature jet-black locks with vampy makeup, she brought the house down at the 54th annual event. 

The Big Little Lies star floated down the red carpet in 2010 in a drapey Nina Ricci gown, complete with satin bows and a thigh-high slit. Though she didn’t take home the award for Best Actress for her role in Rabbit Hole at the ceremony, her silky peach look was well-worth a prize.

The Malcolm and Marie star wowed in a custom burnt orange dress by Louis Vuitton at the 2025 Golden Globes, where she was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture for her role as Tashi Duncan in Challengers. But her biggest serve of the night was debuting an engagement ring from Tom Holland on that finger. 

The former couple matched in dark get-up for the 1991 event. While the Stranger Things actress wore a knee-length, deep-v black dress and a bold red lip, the Pirate of the Caribbean star donned a gray and blue pinstripe suit. 

Sparkles were on the menu at the 56th annual Golden Globes as the Maleficent actress took home the award for Best Actress in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television for her starring role in Gia. For the 1999 event, she wore a crystal-encrusted gown by Randolph Duke Couture.

The Office alum donned a strapless gold dress from Ashi Studio on the 2025 red carpet, complete with dainty jewelry.

Don’t blame Taylor for shutting the 2024 red carpet down in an emerald Gucci look paired with statement earrings. 

When the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever actress did the thing at the 2023 show, becoming the first to win a major individual acting award for a Marvel film, she truly sparkled in Pamella Roland and Chopard jewels. 

Before proving just how fantastic life in plastic could be during her Barbie press tour, the actress (nominated in 2023 show for her role in Babylon) donned the doll's signature shade with this dreamy Chanel halter that reportedly took upwards of 750 hours to make.
