Golden Globes 2026 red carpet: daring and divisive fashion choices

Independent.co reports the Golden Globes returned to kick off the 2026 awards season at the Beverly Hilton, with Nikki Glaser back as host and stars from Nick Jonas to Alicia Silverstone walking the red carpet. Outfits ranged from sheer to heavily embellished: Justine Lupe wore a see-through Armani Privé gown with fringe matching her skin tone, while Sheryl Lee Ralph’s brown Harbison Studio strapless gown featured a gold sequin trail described as looking like an awkward zipper.

Brittany Snow’s plain white Danielle Frankel dress was compared to a tablecloth, Ginnifer Goodwin wore a black Armani Privé gown with pearls, and Audrey Nuna appeared in Thom Browne with a black cape, large white bows and a sheer lace face covering over black lipstick. Other noted looks included Natasha Rothwell’s ruched V‑neck that appeared wrinkled, Glen Powell’s blue velvet jacket paired with distracting tinted glasses, Jennifer Garner’s sparkly Cong Tri that reportedly lacked shape, Jackie Tohn’s off‑shoulder satin with a pink tulle bottom, Leighton Meester’s gown with a neon yellow strip clashing with sequins, Teyana Taylor’s cut‑out Schiaparelli ("The crack is covered in diamonds," she said), Aimee Lou Wood’s untailored lace overlay, and Jenna Ortega’s Dilara Findikoglu with side cutouts and long fringe that drew attention to bleached eyebrows.
