The Best Beauty Looks from the Golden Globes Red Carpet
From intricate updos to opulent lip colors.
Every year, awards season kicks off with the Golden Globe Awards, a show dedicated to celebrating the cinematic achievements of the year before. In 2024, the Globes are recognizing several films that are destined to be classics, such as Past Lives, Killers of the Flower Moon, Barbie, The Holdovers, Oppenheimer, and more. The Globes also celebrate the creatives behind these films, including actors like Cillian Murphy and Lily Gladstone along with directors like Celine Song and Greta Gerwig.
But while we wait with bated breath to see who will go home with honors like Best Motion Picture and Best Screenplay, we can't help but take notice of the showstopping looks these creatives are wearing on the red carpet—especially in terms of beauty. From bold makeup to daring hairdos, these are some of our favorite looks on one of Hollywood's biggest nights out.
