Before entering the ballroom at the Beverly Hilton for the 2025 Golden Globes, stars are putting on dazzling displays of fashion as they hit the red carpet. This year’s crop of attendees are strutting their stuff in designer looks worthy of a runway.
The annual celebration of film and television has set the scene for unforgettable fashion moments since its inaugural ceremony in 1944.
In 1991, 23-year-old Julia Roberts redefined the power suit when she attended the awards show — and won her second Golden Globe — in a pinstripe blazer and miniskirt. Angelina Jolie made a statement in 1999 when she hit the red carpet in a crystal-embellished gown by Randolph Duke. And who could forget Emma Stone’s sparkling, celestial-themed gown by Valentino, which she wore in 2017, when she won her first Golden Globe for her role in La La Land? Just last year, Margot Robbie looked every bit like a glamorous Barbie when she stepped out in a bright pink frock by Georgio Armani Privé.
