The 2025 Golden Globes are officially here.
Tonight (January 5), awards season kicks off with the 82nd annual Globes ceremony at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, California, where the best of the best in film and television will be honored.
From Sean Baker’s Anora to Nicole Kidman’s raw performance in Babygirl , talent across a wide range of genres will be recognized this evening with breakout stars such as Ariana Grande, Adam Brody, and Jesse Plemons receiving nominations for the first time.
Last year, the unofficial dress code seemed to thread the needle between old Hollywood and contemporary style with several A-listers sporting see-through garb and sequins galore. Others kept things chic and classy with classic tuxedos and all-black ensembles.
Billie Eilish’s oversized suit jacket and skirt epitomized her usual adrogynous style perfectly, while Jeremy Allen White played it safe with a dark unbuttoned suit and no tie.
Margot Robbie went full-blown Barbie in a shimmering pink Armani gown with a tulle shawl and Manolo Blahnik pumps to match.
If this year’s Golden Globes gift bag is any indication of the luxurious fashion we’re about to see on the carpet, we’re in for a special treat.
These are the best dressed from the 2025 Golden Globes…
