Golden Globes 2025 worst dressed: Cynthia Erivo and Cate Blanchett lead list of red carpet fashion fails

The 2025 Golden Globes have officially begun – and while many A-listers dazzled on the red carpet, others are having some serious fashion fails and flops.

Kicking off the first of the season, the annual awards show is set to celebrate some of the most popular TV shows and movies this year.

The show takes place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, and will be hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, who went viral last year for her Tom Brady roast.

The works up for nomination this year include some of the biggest hits, like Challengers, Deadpool & Wolverine, Twisters, Wicked and The Brutalist.

Among the actors up for awards are Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo for their respective roles in Wicked, while Selena Gomez is nominated for her role in film Emilia Pérez.

Other names include Timothée Chalamet, who is expected to be joined by his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, as well as Denzel Washington, who is up for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture as he took on the role of Macrinus in Gladiator II.
