BEVERLY HILLS — Hollywood’s top stars on Sunday made their first major fashion statements of this year’s awards season at the Golden Globes, and the looks did not disappoint.
Selena Gomez in Prada
Here is a glance at what they wore on the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Cate Blanchett in a recycled Louis Vuitton dress
Wearing gold to an awards show is basically an announcement that you are ready to win a golden statuette. And Cate Blanchett, nominated for her searing turn as a journalist with secrets in Alfonso Cuaron’s limited series “Disclaimer” for Apple TV+, understood the assignment.
The Australian actress wore a glittering Louis Vuitton gown with a demure neckline, bejeweled collar overlay, and a train. She was also eco-friendly—she wore the same dress at the Cannes film festival in May last year.
Ariana Grande
She didn’t wear pink, the favored color of Glinda the Good. But “Wicked” star and best supporting actress nominee Ariana Grande evoked another Ozian color—yellow (of the yellow brick road, of course) in Givenchy haute couture. The gown was in pale silk with a hand-beaded bodice, a vintage gown from what the designer calls the Audrey Hepburn era of Givenchy. She wore a Swarovski choker and white opera gloves. The pop princess sported her signature high ponytail.
“It’s yellow because ‘Follow the Yellow Brick Road,’ and it’s one of Glinda’s favorite colors,” Grande told Variety on the red carpet, putting an end to months of wearing candy pink gowns during the film’s press tour.
Elle Fanning in Balmain
Demi Moore, Golden Globe winner of best comedy actress for her portrayal of an aging star seeking a way to remain forever young in the body horror film “The Substance,” stunned in a strapless gold Armani ball gown with a sculptural asymmetrical neckline.

And Mikey Madison—a nominee for her star-making turn in “Anora,” the tale of a sex worker who marries a Russian oligarch’s son—was ready for her close-up in a strapless gold Bottega Veneta column gown.
Fire-engine red
Nicole Kidman in Balenciaga
Actor-comedian Ali Wong wasn’t easy to miss on the carpet: She wore a cascading gown of bright fire-engine red tulle. The grand Balenciaga number was accessorized with a satin belt and glamorous black spandex opera gloves, almost up to the shoulder.
Fire-engine red is a showstopper and nominee Isabella Rossellini, who plays a shrewd nun in the papal drama “Conclave,” definitely turned heads in a floor-length red gown with a gauzy matching cape.
Dakota Fanning in Dolce & Gabbana
Dakota Fanning, nominated for best supporting actress in a television role for “Ripley,” stunned in a body-conscious red pleated gown with a high leg slit and one faux strap wrapped around her neck and flowing over her shoulder.
Emma Stone sports a new pixie cut and a Louis Vuitton dress.
