Golden Globes Red Carpet: Best to Worst Dressed Stars

6

The first week back to work after the holidays and an exceptionally long winter break was pretty brutal. But luckily we have something exciting to look forward to: the glamour of awards season and the fashion that comes with it. Kylie and Timmy kicked things off with a bang at the Critic’s Choice Awards last week, and the fun continues tonight at the 2026 Golden Globes. It’s a big one — the biggest, actually, aside from the Oscars — so your favorite celebrities are going all out on the red carpet.

Keep reading to see our ranking of the best dressed stars, worst dressed stars and weirdest looks, below. And if you want to see all the red carpet looks, right this way.

The Best Golden Globes Red Carpet Looks

Hudson Williams in Armani and Bulgari jewelry

If you’re up to date on Cut coverage, Hudson Williams appearing on our best-dressed list makes perfect sense. If not, I highly suggest you catch up.

Connor Storrie in Saint Laurent

I have nothing appropriate to say except thank you to the Heated Rivalry casting director. You deserve a million Golden Globes and a kiss on the forehead.

Miley Cyrus in Saint Laurent

Star power, personified.

Jenna Ortega in Dilara Findikoglu

One of my coworkers put it best: “Scariest girl you know cannot stop serving.”

Tessa Thompson in Balenciaga

Tessa Thompson is someone who really never looks bad, but this is one of her best looks in recent memory.

Charli XCX

This look is like the mature, older sister of the Brat aesthetic, and what more could you want from Charli XCX at the Golden Globes?

Teyana Taylor in custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture

There’s something refreshing and unexpected about a true fashion risk-taker like Teyana Taylor choosing a simple (by her standards) black dress on such a big night. This just is just as striking and impactful as some of the maximalist looks she’s worn in the past.

Zoë Kravitz in Saint Laurent

This Saint Laurent dress is soft, airy, and whimsical — the perfect palate cleanser on a night full of black dresses.

Ayo Edebiri in Chanel

The best actress nominee said on E! that she and stylist Danielle Goldberg were going for an old Hollywood vibe tonight, and it’s safe to say they achieved it — from the velvet panel detail and brooch-embellished sleeves to the voluminous bob and flippy bangs.

Chase Infiniti

From the dramatic silhouette to the luxurious velvet skirt and crystal embellishments, this is the glitz and glamour we wanted from Chase Infiniti at her first-ever Golden Globes.

Pamela Anderson in Ferragamo

Pamala Anderson looked elegant as always in head-to-toe white.

Selena Gomez in Chanel

Selena Gomez, who’s nominated for best actress for Only Murders in the Building, also showed up with a bob. Her style is slightly sleeker and more defined than Edebiri’s, but it still looks to be Old Hollywood-inspired. It’s the perfect compliment to her voluminous, feathered dress.

Ariana Grande in custom Vivienne Westwood

It seems Ariana Grande has sartorially moved on from Glinda. And even though I miss the method dressing (hot take, I know), she does look great tonight.

Emily Blunt in custom Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co. jewelry and John Krasinski

Emily Blunt looks flawless; John Krasinski gets best-dressed by association.

Elle Fanning in Gucci and Cartier jewelry

This is predictable for her but classy and glamorous, nonetheless.

Julia Roberts in custom Armani Privé

Julie Roberts’ adorably quirky strawberry pendant necklace is saving this from being yet another boring black dress.

Emma Stone in custom Louis Vuitton

This is how you do a crop top on the red carpet.

Brittany Snow in Danielle Frankel and Effy jewelry

Margo Banks would love this look.

Leighton Meester in Miu Miu

The width of the yellow band isn’t quite right but this look is unique and we appreciate that.

Michael B. Jordan

I could do without the glasses but I love the unexpected choice of a chocolate brown suit and butter yellow shirt.

Jennifer Lawrence in custom Givenchy

There’s a lot to digest here. It’s one of those looks we need to marinate on for a bit…

Laufey in custom Balenciaga

I love when a newcomer is brave enough to wear color or an interesting silhouette on one of their first major red carpets — and this dress checks both boxes.

Olandria in Christian Siriano

The Bama Barbie has arrived, and it’s safe to say she’s living up to her nickname.

Kate Hudson in Armani Privé and Garatti jewelry

Kate Hudson walked the red carpet draped in jewels — literally.

Mary Beth Barone

Even though I’d love to see more from queen, an elevated black dress is the right choice for her Golden Globes red carpet correspondent debut.

Mia Goth in Dior

She’s way too cool to be wearing something this boring, but it’s pretty.

Maura Higgins in Marmar Halim

She’s bringing The Traitors drama to the Golden Globes red carpet, and I appreciate that.

Lisa in Jacquemus

La La Lisa has blessed us with an (early!) red carpet appearance and this sheer bewitching look.

The Worst Golden Globes Red Carpet Looks

Leonardo DiCaprio in Dior

Sorry, Leo. We don’t condone this level of laziness.

Rose Byrne in Chanel

Who did this to my best actress winner?!

Jennifer Lopez

Here we have a classic case of “too rich to be dressing like this.”

Timothy Simons

After seeing this incredibly corny outfit, I’m going to guess that Timothy Simons is exactly like his Nobody Wants This character (Sasha Roklov) in real life. The frosted tips are particularly upsetting.

Aimee Lou Wood

The full sleeves and full skirt are fighting against each other and the result is very unflattering, unfortunately.

Haley Kalil in Marc Bouwer

Where do I even start… there’s a tasteful way to do Disney princess and this is not it. She needs to lose the sleeves, sparkles, and spikes.

Skylar Diggins

If you learn one thing tonight let it be that purple satin and sequins are a tough combination to pull off.

Gayle King in Pamella Roland

The clunky bangles are taking away from the flattering cut and silhouette of this dress, which is a bummer for Ms. Blue Origin.

The Weirdest Golden Globes Red Carpet Looks

Audrey Nuna

This is weird and cool and memorable in the best way possible. Bravo!

Bella Ramsey

Me when I’m feeling overstimulated.

Parker Posey in custom Rodarte

A cooky girl in a cooky dress!

Piper Curda

As one of my coworkers pointed out, this hat is very Carrie Bradshaw in And Just Like That (derogatory).
