Golden Globe Awards
The Golden Globe Awards 2025 have long been a glamorous celebration of cinematic and television excellence, and the red carpet is where fashion history is made. Over the years, countless stunning dresses have graced the Golden Globes, cementing their place in the annals of iconic style. Ahead of the Golden Globe Awards, we take a look back at some of the most unforgettable looks that have defined elegance, daring, and timeless beauty.
1. Marilyn Monroe, 1962
Marilyn Monroe’s appearance at the 1962 Golden Globes was nothing short of mesmerising. Dressed in a sequined Norman Norell gown, the blonde bombshell exuded old Hollywood glamour. Her form-fitting dress with a halter neckline perfectly encapsulated the style of the era and remains a classic reference point in red-carpet fashion.
2. Cher, 1973
Cher has always been a fashion trailblazer, and her 1973 Golden Globes look was no exception. She wore a daring midriff-baring ensemble designed by Bob Mackie, making headlines and breaking red carpet-conventions. This bold choice marked the beginning of Cher’s legacy as a risk-taker in fashion.
3. Julia Roberts, 1990
When Julia Roberts accepted her award for Steel Magnolias, she eschewed the traditional gown in favour of a men’s oversized Giorgio Armani suit. Paired with her signature curls, this unconventional choice cemented her reputation as a style icon unafraid to defy expectations.
4. Halle Berry, 2000
Halle Berry’s sultry look in a burgundy Valentino gown was one for the ages. The spaghetti strap silhouette and intricate floral embroidery made her one of the best-dressed stars of the night. This dress remains one of Valentino’s most celebrated creations.
5. Jennifer Lopez, 2009
Jennifer Lopez stole the show in 2009 wearing a metallic Marchesa gown with a plunging neckline and draped detailing. The shimmering gold ensemble highlighted J.Lo’s signature glow and became an instant red-carpet classic.
6. Angelina Jolie, 2011
Angelina Jolie’s sequin Versace gown in 2011 showcased her knack for timeless elegance. The emerald green dress sparkled as she walked the red carpet and perfectly combined simplicity with a striking statement.
7. Lupita Nyong’o, 2014
Lupita Nyong’o made waves in a red Ralph Lauren cape dress that exuded sophistication and confidence. The sleek silhouette and unique cape detail catapulted her to fashion stardom and remains one of the most talked-about red carpet moments.
8. Lady Gaga, 2019
Lady Gaga’s custom Valentino gown at the 2019 Golden Globes was a nod to Judy Garland’s A Star is Born costume. The voluminous periwinkle dress, complete with dramatic sleeves and a sweeping train, showcased her ability to blend theatricality with high fashion.
9. Anya Taylor-Joy, 2021
Anya Taylor-Joy’s emerald green Dior Haute Couture dress brought vintage glamour to the 2021 Golden Globes. The plunging neckline and flowing train were perfectly complemented by her sleek hairstyle and statement jewellery, making it a standout look of the evening.
The Evolution of Red Carpet Style
The Golden Globes red carpet serves as a reflection of changing fashion trends, cultural moments, and individual artistry. From Marilyn Monroe’s timeless glamour to Anna Taylor-Joy’s contemporary chic, these iconic dresses have each told a story of their own, creating unforgettable moments that continue to inspire the world of fashion. As we look ahead to the Golden Globes 2025 it will undoubtedly continue to be a stage for bold, beautiful, and boundary-pushing sartorial statements.
