The 83rd Golden Globe Awards, held on January 11, 2026, at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, showcased a dazzling array of fashion as celebrities made their way down the red carpet. This annual event marks an exciting precursor to the Oscars, offering a glimpse into the style statements that A-list actors and rising stars will present throughout the awards season. This year, for the first time, podcasters were included in the awards lineup, reflecting the evolving landscape of entertainment.
Fashion at the Golden Globes often serves as a canvas for personal expression. Some stars embraced the allure of classic Hollywood, opting for vintage-inspired designs, while others displayed a more contemporary edge. Ayo Edebiri, for instance, paid homage to actress Julia Roberts‘ iconic 1990 look with a custom gray suit from Loewe paired with a gold feather necklace. Such choices illustrate the blend of nostalgia and innovation that defines red carpet fashion today.
Fashion Trends and Statements
As nominees took to the carpet, the event provided a platform for fashion houses to gain visibility. Ariana Grande once again donned a baby pink gown reminiscent of her character Glinda from “Wicked,” while Margot Robbie embraced a vibrant pink ensemble in alignment with her upcoming role in “Barbie.” These bold fashion choices not only reflect personal style but also serve as strategic marketing for upcoming films.
The male nominees also made notable fashion statements, with actors like Adrien Brody sporting glimmering brooches and Colman Domingo showcasing colorful, assertive outfits. Timothée Chalamet, nominated for his role in “Marty Supreme,” has become a fashion icon, often making headlines for his eye-catching attire. His promotion tour included celebrity friends wearing matching jackets inspired by the film, further elevating the movie’s visibility.
Accessories often tell their own stories on the red carpet. Last year, Zendaya made headlines when she unveiled an engagement ring while attending the Golden Globes, thereby combining fashion with personal milestones.
Host and Audience Engagement
This year, comedian Nikki Glaser returned to host the Golden Globes for the second consecutive time, having made history as the first female solo host in 2025. During her previous appearance, she impressed audiences with multiple outfit changes throughout the evening, effectively blending humor and fashion.
The event attracted approximately 10 million viewers last year, according to Dick Clark Productions. This year, the Golden Globe Awards began at 8 p.m. Eastern, broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. As the night unfolded, viewers were treated not only to the glitz and glamour of the red carpet but also to the captivating performances and speeches that accompany the awards ceremony.
The Golden Globes continue to be a significant event in Hollywood, not just for film and television accolades but also as a celebration of fashion and personal expression. As the industry evolves, the red carpet remains a focal point for showcasing creativity and individuality among stars.
