The Best Red Carpet Beauty Moments From the 2026 Golden Globes

Follow along for the beauty moments you can’t miss.

Red carpet season is officially in full swing, and after last week’s Critics’ Choice Awards kicked things off, the fun continues on Jan. 11 with the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards— and I’ll be here to talk about all things red carpet beauty.

Tonight, Hollywood’s biggest and brightest stars are set to convene at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles alongside host Nikki Glaser to honor some of the most outstanding television and film releases of the last year. The list of nominees includes industry titans like Jennifer Lawrence (Die My Love), Emma Stone (Bugonia), Tessa Thompson (Hedda), and Amanda Seyfried (The Testament of Ann Lee) as well as a few breakout stars such as One Battle After Another’s Chase Infiniti and The White Lotus’s Aimee Lou Wood. With a guest list this stacked, there’s no doubt in my mind that the glam teams will be pulling out all the stops and delivering some downright mesmerizing beauty looks.

The red carpet kicks off now, and for the next few hours, I’ll be zoned in on the skin, makeup, hair, and nails of tonight’s attendees and reporting live on the best beauty moments of the evening. Follow along for updates—I can guarantee you won’t want to miss this.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'll never get tired of seeing Old Hollywood glamour on the red carpet. It's a timeless trend that reality star Maura Higgins does exceptionally well here with bombshell curls and a deep side part.

I absolutely love that Brittany Snow stepped outside the box and brought the unconventional milky white manicure trend to the red carpet. Her soft, low ponytail also adds something effortlessly cool to the look.

Zuri Hall is reminding me just how much I LOVE seeing natural curls on the red carpet. And her honey blonde hair color is also giving me a few ideas.

I saw Jeannie Mai's sleek, flippy hydro bob and my jaw dropped immediately. A cunty little bob is already trendy on its own, but the wet look (along with the eye-popping red lipstick) adds the perfect amount of edge.

Not only has Zoë Kravitz not run out of ways to style her micro braids, she always manages to make them look just as effortlessly cool as she is. Tonight she styled them in a messy bun with chic silver accessories.

The only thing more mesmerizing than Wunmi Mosaku's performance in Sinners (which is up for seven awards tonight) is her sculptural, faux loc hairstyle. I absolutely love when protective styles make red carpet appearances, since they're the perfect opportunity to showcase how versatile they truly are. The actor paired the look with a gorgeous, bright yellow gown and a wine red manicure.

This time last year, Emma Stone took us all by surprise by hitting the red carpet with a pixie cut (she shaved her head for her role in Bugonia) and now she's here again with a fully grown-out bob. The cunty little bob club welcomes her with open arms!

Nothing says "red carpet-ready" like a sleek Barbie ponytail. Ariana Grande, who's up for the best supporting actress in a motion picture award, wore the look with a slight curl at the ends and a piecey bang.

Natasha Lyonne scored a nomination for best actress in a musical/comedy for her role as Charlie Cale in Poker Face. She typically styles her fiery red hair in its naturally wavy state, but tonight she switched things up slightly with a half up, half down side ponytail. It's giving Punky Brewster!

You can never convince me that a messy high bun isn't a perfect red carpet hairstyle, and KPop Demon Hunters star, Ejae, manages to make it look extra elegant here with a chunk of hair wrapped around the base and a piecey bang.

Weapons star Amy Madigan's real-life look is a lot less spooky than her on-screen character, Aunt Gladys. The best supporting actress nominee wore her platinum blonde hair in loose curls with chunky, brown highlights.

Teyana Taylor is up for the best supporting actress award for her role as Perfidia Beverly Hills in One Battle After Another. It's her first-ever Golden Globe nomination, so obviously, she brought out her best glam. The actor wore sultry, black winged eyeliner with her signature pixie cut styled in mini curls. She pulled the whole look together with a '90s supermodel look.

No one does Old Hollywood glamour better than Selena Gomez. The Only Murders in the Building star showed up with her lob-length hair styled in bouncy barrel curls with a deep side part. She took the retro glam theme to the next level with a deep red lipstick.

Audrey Nuna's red carpet look includes so many dramatic details and I'm here for them all. The bold brow! The braided updo! The black lip! The clear gel nails with 3D designs! It's all so good.

I simply HAVE to know what body moisturizer Olandria Carthen used to achieve her glow tonight. She just made her Golden Globes red carpet debut, and everything about her look was perfect, from the gelled-down finger waves to the '90s supermodel lip to the French manicure with 3D chrome tips. 10/10, no notes.

I can always count on Sheryl Lee Ralph (aka the original Dreamgirl) to turn out a look on the red carpet. The Abbott Elementary star showed up tonight wearing a stunning, textured bouffant with a braided crown.

The bob haircut may have reigned supreme in 2025, but the pixie cut is definitely coming for its crown this year. If you don't believe me, just take a look at Sabrina Dhowre Elba, who just walked the red carpet with a cropped cut after debuting baby bangs back in November.
