The 82nd Golden Globe Awards set the tone of the new year, marking the first awards show of 2025 with impressive, and over-the-top looks from our favorite celebrities.
Honoring excellence in the film and television industry in 2024, the ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton and hosted by Nikki Glaser, the first solo woman to do ever do it.
It was a big evening for stars, including Viola Davis who was the recipient of the Cecil B DeMille Award, and Demi Moore who won her first award for acting for her role in “The Substance.”
In addition to many more celebs who won big throughout the evening, there were a surplus of celebs who made an unforgettable entrance on the red carpet.
Ahead, see who made it to our best-dressed list!
Zendaya in Custom Louis Vuitton
Last night was a big night for Fashion Icon Zendaya who debuted a huge diamond engagement ring while posing in a citrus orange satin Louis Vuitton gown on the carpet. That’s right bombers! English actor Tom Holland isn’t wasting any time in securing his prized possession. Zendaya looked confident and absolutely glamorous in her gown that made references to prominent figures including “Diahann, Eartha, Dorthy and Joyce,” according to her stylist Law Roach. With a sage diamond Bulgari necklace to match the massive rock on her hand, she gave us old Hollywood vibe and absolutely nailed this look.
Mindy Kaling in Ashi Studio, Demi Moore in Armani Prive, Elle Fanning in Balmain
Gold proved to be popular color at the Golden Globes this year as Mindy Kaling, Demi Moore and Elle Fanning each opted for the gleaming hue. Mindy wore a gold strapless Ashi Studio gown was crafted from metal and encrusted with silver tones.
Demi Moore, who accepted the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture —Musical or Comedy Golden Globe for her performance in The Substance, looked sensational in Armani Prive. She was one of the best dressed celebs of the evening, and quite frankly she hasn’t missed.
Actress Elle Fanning graced the Golden Globes with her presence as she posed in a gold Balmain gown that had a leopard v-neck corset bodice. She embodied regality and looked ethereal in her fairy-tale like dress. We also love how Elle wasn’t afraid to make a statement and when it came down to her glam, she opted for a natural makeup with rosy cheeks and a bold red lip.
Morris Chestnut in House of Gray and Pamela Chestnut in Erica Moore
Back in December 2024, we covered Morris Chestnut style as he unveiled the Golden Globes nominations alongside Mindy Kaling. If you thought he was showing out then, let’s just say he came with his A-game Sunday evening. Accompanied by his wife Pamela Chestnut who looked incredible in a black Erica Moore velvet gown, Morris looked just as good. His red monochromatic suit by House of Grey against his Hershey chocolate skin was the perfect choice to turn heads all night long.
Zoe Saldana in Saint Laurent and Quinta Brunson in Roberto Cavalli
In fact, chocolate brown has been the color of fall, and it just looks so rich and elegant. Zoe Saldana stunned in a dark brown Saint Laurent sequins gown with a brown exaggerated cape that hung off her shoulders. While Quinta Brunson showcased her individuality in a brown velvet embellished Roberto Cavalli dress that hugged her curves.
Viola Davis in Gucci
The queen of the evening, Viola Davis looked angelic and breathtaking in a sequins Gucci gown that screamed YES! The EGOT winner who took home the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award Sunday, wasn’t afraid to shine her light in the ravishing rainbow frock. If you recall back in November, Viola wore this same exact look at the LACMA Art + Film Gala, reminding us how transformative clothing really is. We’re sure when she put this specific gown on, she’s feels absolutely unstoppable, and all we can say is touché.
Sheryl Lee Ralph in St. John
Sheryl Lee Ralph was another heavy-hitter, but let’s be honest…when is she not? The “Abbott Elementary” actress used the moment to show us exactly what red carpets are made for. That is… showing up, and showing how in your most brilliant attire, with glam to the nines, and aura that can’t be dismissed. Her ruby red St John off the shoulder gown was flattering and elegant, and she radiated so much power and grace, that one would perhaps think that nothing can stop her.
Janelle James in Christian Siriano, Zoe Kravitz in Saint Laurent
In addition to Sheryl Lee Ralph, her “Abbott Elementary” costar Janelle James also shut it down on the carpet in a marvelous black Christian Siriano velvet gown that was perfection. From her pixie haircut, down to how her dress draped across the carpet, “Principle Ava Coleman” gave what needed to be given.
Zoe Kravitz wore a similar black velvet gown with a deep v-neck plunge neckline by Saint Laurent. Her white sash belt added a nice contrast to her all black dress, and perhaps even elevated it. We loved her fresh face, and statement earrings that tied her ensemble together.
What Say you? Hot! Or Hmm…?
