The Golden Globes 2025 Red Carpet Best Dresses, Suits & Looks — See Photos
The new year might have just begun, but it's already time for awards season, and we're kicking things off with the Golden Globes 2025 red carpet. With the most prestigious names in film and television in attendance, the red carpet is sure to be an event in itself, especially because so many of them double as fashion and beauty mavens.
Nominated for Best Actress for her role in Challengers and part of the Dune: Part 2 cast, Zendaya has proved over the past year that she's always one to watch for on the red carpet (if her Met Gala appearances hadn't already sold you). For both films, she had very thematic press runs — think tenniscore dresses and futuristic full-body armor — with the help of longtime stylist Law Roach.
Both nominated for their roles in Wicked, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo aren't ones to shy away from an on-theme red carpet moment either. However, they might just be better known for their glam moments. Grande, who founded her own beauty brand r.e.m., has a signature style but isn't afraid to go all in on the hottest makeup trends like her fairycore looks for example. Erivo's forte is detailed, dazzling manicures, even prompting O.P.I. to make her an ambassador.
Selena Gomez, recognized for Emilia Pérez and Only Murders in the Building, is also glam-forward on the runway. The Rare Beauty founder doesn't miss the opportunity to show it off. She similarly spares no flair in the wardrobe department, even if she has to make an errand run on her way to a red carpet.
Expectations are high with a star-studded guest list, but these celebs did indeed deliver. Below, editors pick their favorite looks from the Golden Globes 2025 red carpet.

Ashley Graham
Ashley Graham has always been one of my favorite style icons, whether she's on the runway or hosting a red carpet. As award season kicks off you can never go wrong with a gorgeous black gown. This deep v-cut gown is simple and elegant. It's structured detailing from the waist down adds a flair that's necessary for any good awards show look. -Aiyana Ishmael, Associate Editor

Cynthia Erivo is yet again defying gravity. The Wicked star wore a dramatic structured peplum dress, tapping into one of the hottest trends of the season. The black dress was covered in silver embellishments, matching her co-star Ariana Grande's equally sparkly look. - Donya Momenian, Associate Fashion and Beauty Editor

Cesily Collette
It was the high-pitched “yes” heard around the world. Cesily Collette stole all of our hearts during her performance as young Nessa in the movie-musical Wicked. And her red carpet moments have been just as darling. This polka-dot dress with puffed sleeves and matching white purse is so precious. She's surely to become a fashion icon as time goes on. -Aiyana Ishmael, Associate Editor

Elle Fanning is a fashion girl through and through, and this leopard print Balmain gown is proof. The gown features a sleeveless bust in a sequin leopard print pattern. The corseted waist, which is belted, is in a champagne color that matches the skirt. She finished it with a gold Cartier necklace. It's certainly a lot of different elements, but she carries them all with ease. -Alyssa Hardy, Style Director

Anna Sawai, nominated for her role in Shogun, is giving a lesson in chic simplicity. The actress wore a custom Dior gown that was white, strapless, and hit just at her feet. She paired it with a single silver ring and necklace by Cartier. Less is more sometimes, and this look is all the proof we need. -Alyssa Hardy, Style Director

Auli'i Cravalho checked off all of the biggest trends. Her white dress featured a corseted satin bodice and drop-waist skirt. And the 3D flower adornment on the shoulder was like the bow on top. -Donya Momenian, Associate Fashion and Beauty Editor

I'm sensing a theme at the 2025 Golden Globes: simple Hollywood glamour is never out of fashion. And, actor and director Zoe Kravitz has never missed the mark in her interpretation. For the red carpet, Kravitz wore a strapless black gown that featured a white waist belt and train. Like so many others in our best-dressed list, she opted for simple silver jewelry to complete the look. Dressed up or down, she just can't miss. -Alyssa Hardy, Style Director

If a best-dressed list is on the internet and Zendaya isn't on it, does it even exist? The actress stole the show once again in this monochromatic orange look that literally went from head to toe. The look featured an orange gown with a matching train and heels, but it didn't stop there. She also opted for a rusty-hued blush and hair color. For all of us who love a good red carpet, let's give a resounding thank you to Law Roach and Zendaya. -Alyssa Hardy, Style Director

Miley Cyrus is the epitome of a cool girl. After winning her first Grammy last year, the long-time pop-star continues to get her flowers with her Golden Globes nomination. Her choosing to wear a Celine gown with sparkling cut-outs paired with sunglasses is the effortlessly chic yet cool vibe every celebrity should be chasing on the red carpet. - Aiyana Ishmael, Associate Editor

The 2000s called and they want their skinny scarf back, Timmy! Award show season always feels a bit lackluster, especially when it comes to men's fashion on the red carpet. But we can always count on Timothée Chalamet to give us a little something. Tonight, he wore a simple black suit with a blue polka-dotted skinny scarf. The look was put-together and charming. You can tell the actor is still leaning into his Bob Dylan cosplay. And while it isn't really a personal beauty choice, his mustache — he's specifically rocking for Marty Supreme, the current film he's shooting — elevated the look as well. - Aiyana Ishmael, Associate Editor

Say it with me: Old Hollywood is the night's theme, and Selena Gomez is fully in on it. The actress opted for a light blue off-the-shoulder Prada gown, a diamond necklace, and earrings. The glam was the cherry on top, with a blushy red lip and a pin curl updo. Gomez is starting awards season on a glamorous foot. -Alyssa Hardy, Style Director
