After a year off the air, the Golden Globe Awards returned to NBC on Tuesday for the 80th edition of the awards ceremony, and Hollywood’s elites flocked back to the red carpet at The Beverly Hilton hotel to mark the occasion.
Last year’s televised ceremony was canceled due to a boycott by various media companies and celebrities over the lack of diversity in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). This organization selects Golden Globe nominees and winners.
Following the boycott, the HFPA made efforts to increase the membership diversity of the organization. They’ve added 103 new voters, which were “recruited from international industry organizations, as well as from active outreach to esteemed foreign film festivals and journalist professionals,” the HFPA said in a statement.

“Combined with the current HFPA membership, the total Golden Globe Awards voting body is 52% female, 51.5% racially and ethnically diverse with 19.5% Latinx, 12% Asian, 10% Black and 10% Middle Eastern. The voting body also includes individuals who self-identify as LGBTQIA+. The total number of voters is now 200.”
With the Golden Globes return to television this year, high-profile stars from both TV and film, including Jennifer Coolidge, Selena Gomez, Michelle Yeoh, and Jenna Ortega, took the opportunity to dress up and display their style senses.
From sheer classics to trendy cutouts, see some of this season’s best and worst red carpet looks.

Hairstylist Jenny Cho created “a soft face-framing style” to complement Ana’s structured gown, while makeup artist Melanie Inglessis mixed modern and old Hollywood glam.
Inglessis said in a statement, “I wanted Ana to look effortless; a combination of the modern woman that she is mixed with old Hollywood glamour, inspired by Marilyn Monroe. We wanted her skin to be luminous, complemented by a sharp cat eye and a perfectly stained rosy-mauve lip.”

She’s set to play Barbie in the first live-action Barbie movie, scheduled to be released in the UK and the US in July.

Showcasing her figure, the bespoke pastel pink number, made from light pink Chantilly lace and silk tulle, hugged every inch of Robbie’s curves.
It featured an eye-catching silhouette with a halter neck and a fishtail hem, designed with a chevron pattern and embellished with bugle beads, sequins, and faux feathers. According to Vogue, the dress took Chanel artisans 750 hours to make.

Jessica Chastain may have lost to Amanda Seyfried (The Dropout) in the Best Actress in a Limited Series category, but she did leave a lasting visual impression on the red carpet in her Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2023 gown.
The $14,990 light-catching gown was cut from sheer champagne polyamide with silk lining, creating an illusion of a see-through commando gown. It featured a column silhouette, a moon crest neckline, and 16,000 crushed crystals.

Lily James has adopted a new style direction since transforming into Pamela Anderson in the Hulu biographical drama miniseries Pam & Tommy, which earned her a Golden Globe Best Actress nomination in a Limited Series.
The Pride and Prejudice and Zombies actress is now leaning into an ultra-glam yet sexier approach, which was evident on her Golden Globes red carpet look.
Stylist Rebecca Corbin Murray selected James’ outfit, which featured a vibrant red gown by Atelier Versace. It had a cleavage-baring square-cut cropped bustier with bands crossing the midriff, cutouts, and a billowing skirt with voluminous ruffles and a long train.
