The 2016 Golden Globe Awards were a true celebration of style, with the red carpet showcasing everything from opulent, embellished gowns to sleek, monochromatic dresses.
What the TV broadcasts didn’t capture were the glamorous after-parties that followed the awards show.
Many celebrities quickly swapped their red carpet looks for equally stunning after-party outfits, with some even making a more memorable fashion statement in their second ensemble than in their original Golden Globes attire.

We were reluctant to see Kate Bosworth step out of the stunning sequined gown she wore on the red carpet.
However, her after-party ensemble quickly won us over—a strapless Dolce & Gabbana tunic dress paired with matching cropped trousers. It was an unexpected choice, but equally adorned and just as captivating.

The American Idol judge turned heads with her unexpectedly modest choice of gown for the red carpet. The yellow Giambattista Valli dress may have concealed more than usual, but it still exuded a sultry allure that made the singer radiate sexiness.
