Surprise! Jennifer Lopez Arrives at the 2026 Golden Globes
One naked dress in a weekend just wasn't enough for Jennifer Lopez. After attending a Saturday night event in a see-through Zuhair Murad dress, she stopped by the 2026 Golden Globes in another skin-baring look. Honestly, it wouldn't feel like awards season to me without her. —HL
Jennifer Lawrence Enters Her Naked Dress Era
"My jaw literally dropped," contributing fashion writer Kelsey Stiegman said when Jennifer Lawrence hit the red carpet. I have to agree—she must have been taking notes on friend Dakota Johnson's naked dress collection. —HL
One Classic Color to Rule Them All at the 2026 Golden Globes
Early in the night, it seemed like jewel-tone brights were ruling the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet. As the minutes ticked down until showtime, it became clear: Hollywood's leading ladies really wanted to play with the little black dress. Given that the silhouette will turn 100 this year, it's a fitting homage. —HL
Jenna Ortega Pays Homage to Her Golden Globe-Nominated Role
"As a fellow Gen Z, I couldn't be prouder of Jenna Ortega. She and stylist Enrique Melendez tracked down this Dilara Findikoglu dress straight from the Spring 2026 runway show. To no surprise, the 23-year-old pulled off its fringed crystals, turtleneck, and waist cut-outs with ease. She's nominated for her starring role in Netflix's Wednesday, so the black gown felt especially method. Plus, she and Melendez 'naturally gravitated to' the shade, he told me over email pre-Golden Globes." —Meguire Hennes, fashion staff writer
Amanda Seyfried Goes Goddess Mode
Amanda Seyfried, nominated for The Testament of Ann Lee, returned to a Hollywood classic for her 2026 Golden Globes look. She channeled a Grecian goddess in a draped white gown and coordinating shawl—plus heaps of diamond jewelry. —HL
Let's Hear It for the First-Time Golden Globes Nominees!
Eva Victor and Aimee Lou Wood are both waiting to hear if they won the trophy for their first Golden Globe nominations. In the meantime, they're making a strong debut in diametrically opposed looks: slinky and red Loewe for Victor, gothic ballgown for Wood.
Elle Fanning Glitters in Gucci
Elle Fanning told E! her Gucci dress for the 2026 Golden Globes took hours of work to create. It might look simply silver and sparkly from afar—but up close, all those glittering embellishments are actually hand-placed, individual flowers.
Tessa Thompson Switches Up Her Palette
When she was promoting Hedda on the festival circuit, Tessa Thompson told Marie Claire she intentionally channeled her character in shades of red. But tonight, she's switched gears in glittering green Balenciaga. I'm eagerly awaiting more details from stylist Karla Welch. —HL
Teyana Taylor Delivers a Golden Globes Red Carpet Surprise
Remember those red carpet plot twists I was talking about? They finally appeared in the form of Teyana Taylor's Golden Globes gown. From the front, it was your classic black gown with a floor-grazing neck scarf and long skirt. But once she ascended the stairs inside, she revealed bedazzled hip jewelry and a hint of butt cleavage. And honestly, it's so chic.
Selena Gomez Makes Her Grand Golden Globes Entrance in Custom Chanel
"Seeing Selena Gomez in custom Chanel made my night at the 2026 Golden Globes. The neckline's ivory feather trim paid homage to Matthieu Blazy's debut Spring 2026 show, without being too on the nose. I can only she and stylist Erin Walsh have more Chanel looks up their sleeves this award season." —Meguire Hennes
The 'Nobody Wants This' Couple Everyone Wants to See
The perks of starring in a hit Netflix series together? Adam Brody and Leighton Meester can take date night to the Golden Globes red carpet—and Meester can do it in sparkling, sequin Miu Miu.
Jennifer Garner Keeps It Classic
I have to thank Cong Tri for Jennifer Garner's 2026 Golden Globes red carpet look. From afar, it's a simple black tank dress; up close, it drips in beading that beautifully refracts the light.
Even More 'Heated Rivalry'
Interim style director Ana Colón said it best: "This jawline was made to be famous." She added, "Connor Storrie arrived in Saint Laurent, another certified Hollywood It brand, with a Tiffany & Co. brooch on the lapel of his jacket."
The "Princess Diana" of the 2026 Golden Globes
My own gasp isn't enough to sum up the love for Ayo Edebiri's Chanel dress, sourced from the Chanel Metiers D'Art collection by Danielle Goldberg. Here's what team Marie Claire had to say about her velvet confection:
"AYO looking every bit America's Chanel girl! I think we have a night full of velvet ahead of us...and those shoulder brooches are pure elegance." —Meguire Hennes
"Oh, I love! My best-dressed so far." —Ana Colón
"She's my Princess Diana." —Emma Childs
The First (Nearly) Naked Golden Globes Dress Is Here...
Maybe calling this look on Ginnifer Goodwin a naked dress is doing it a disservice. It's more like the night sky was copy and pasted from the heavens onto her gown, and re-rendered in pearls and crystal embellishments. —HL
'Heated Rivalry' Heats Up the 2026 Golden Globes Red Carpet
"We should all be keeping an eye on the Heated Rivalry boys as the next big fashion superstars—brands certainly are. Hudson Williams walked the 2026 Golden Globes carpet first in a Hollywood-favorite label: Giorgio Armani. He went classic (peep the cummerbund!), but still left his shirt unbuttoned just enough." —AC
Sheryl Lee Ralph Accessorizes Her 2026 Golden Globes Look With Pure Joy
I haven't seen anyone look as thrilled on the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet as Sheryl Lee Ralph. The way she twirled in her Harbison Studios dress made me want to put on my dancing shoes, too. —HL
An Early Red Carpet Look Our Staff Writer Loved
"Sabrina is always a moment on a red carpet." —MH
Haute Couture Couple Alert
Stylists Wayman + Micah started the night strong with Priyanka Chopra Jonas. She's dressed in custom Dior Haute Couture by Jonathan Anderson, paired to shimmering Bulgari diamonds. It's one of the first New Dior looks on tonight's carpet—and I know it won't be the last. —HL
Another 'Love Island' Golden Globes Red Carpet Arrival to Fall For
"Ugh, she's gorgeous," interim style director Ana Colón said as Love Island alum Olandria Carthen arrived at the 2026 Golden Globes. I have to agree. Her necklace dripping in diamonds is also worth an extra zoom-in. —HL
La-La-LISA Arrives at the 2026 Golden Globes
As one of the top-nominated dramas during tonight's awards, The White Lotus cast was always going to show up and show out. Nonetheless, I was excited by Lisa's turn up the red steps, in a minimalist-for-her sheer gown by Jacquemus with witchy draped sleeves and a peekaboo bandeau top underneath. —HL
Early Arrivals, From Drama to Comedy
Hardly 20 minutes into the official red carpet, the arrivals are coming in hot from every category. First, here's Justine Lupe from Nobody Wants This in a confectionary, ruffled tulle gown by Armani Privé.
Staff writer Meguire Hennes spoke for the entirety of Marie Claire's Slack when Wunmi Mosaku from Sinners arrived in a canary yellow gown: "OMG, gorgeous!"
Spotted: The 'Hunting Wives' Lead on the 2026 Golden Globes Red Carpet
Our red carpet correspondent, Christina D'Ambrosio, just caught Hunting Wives star Brittany Snow making her ascent up the Golden Globes stairs. She's looking heavenly in a strapless white gown—a far cry from her "bigger in Texas" gold at the VMAs last fall.—HL
Laufey's 2026 Golden Globes Red Carpet Debut
It was only a matter of time until Laufey lit up the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet. She glowed in a tangerine orange gown with an open back—emphasized by her low-key chic ponytail. —HL
A 2026 Golden Globes Red Carpet Reality Check
Reality stars were some of the first to hit the Golden Globes red carpet. Love Island UK's Maura Higgins arrived in a dramatic black gown with a molten gold train by Marmar Halim. Shortly after, Traitors and Dancing With the Stars alum Dylan Efron stopped by in a sharp black tux. —HL
'Marie Claire' Fashion Editors' 2026 Golden Globes Red Carpet Predictions
The 2026 Golden Globes nominees will finally arrive on the red carpet any moment now. Before revealing this year’s looks, I asked a panel of Marie Claire fashion experts to share their red carpet predictions. Here’s what to watch. —HL
“Like many other Marie Claire editors, I’m most excited to see my favorite fake hockey players, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, make their awards season red carpet debuts. Since Heated Rivalry went monoculture-level viral a few weeks ago, the attention on these two actors has been immense—and we’re only now getting a taste of what their fashion vibe is. I’m curious to see which brands managed to confirm the most in-demand men in Hollywood right now, and who they’ll align with in the future.” —AC
“Ana already mentioned Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, a.k.a. our current style hyperfixations, so I’ll go with my (very close!) runner-up: Teyana Taylor, our Changemakers Issue cover star last September. Vintage Dior is very much her thing, so my money’s on that. (Although I loved her in the Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello we photographed her in.)” —JH
“I’m also excited to see some Matthieu Blazy Chanel gowns. Now that he’s more settled and celebrities have started wearing his collections, I’m curious to see how he expands his custom work this red carpet season. He’s done a little here and there, mostly ahead of his first runway for the brand, so I’m looking forward to what he’s been working on. A preview of his haute couture, perhaps, ahead of that show later this month?” —AC
“I’m eager to see what Chase Infiniti, the breakout star and heartbeat of One Battle After Another, wears to her first-ever Golden Globes. 25 and nominated for Best Actress alongside Hollywood greats like Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence—she and her styling duo, Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald, are, of course, going to show up and show out. Considering Infiniti’s a new Louis Vuitton ambassador, I wager she’ll show up in an exquisite, slightly surreal Nicolas Ghesquiere creation.”—EC
"Teyana Taylor. Ariana Grande. Selena Gomez. Zoë Kravitz. Jenna Ortega. All my favorite fashion girls will be in one room tonight. (If you can’t tell by my tone, that never happens.) I’m especially excited to see a post-Wicked Grande. Recent red carpets teased her award season style is still very much Glinda-ified, in a more subtle, elegantly effortless way. Just two days before the Globes, my jaw dropped seeing her in early-aughts Vivienne Westwood: a rare early 2000s look. Could Grande’s official Golden Globes gown trade circa-1950s vintage for more recent decades? Either way, I’m tuned all the way in."—MH
"Although I’m excited to see first-time nominees like Chase Infiniti, Aimee Lou Wood, and Teyana Taylor, I’ve also got my eyes on the guys tonight—specifically Michael B. Jordan. With a style that’s undeniably sharp and sophisticated, I have no doubt that he’ll rise to the red carpet occasion in a perfectly tailored suit. Also, seeing as though he is a brand ambassador for David Yurman, my guess is that he’ll have some shimmering jewels on his wrists, too. "—LKT
Looking Back at Last Year's Golden Globes Red Carpet...
In 2025, the Golden Globes red carpet set the stage for a year of creative director shake-ups and rising fashion stars. I asked Marie Claire editors to share their favorites, as a warm-up for this year’s batch of memorable looks. —HL
“I loved Mikey Madison’s custom Bottega Veneta gown from the 2025 Golden Globes. It was one of Matthieu Blazy’s last designs as creative director of the Italian fashion brand. Fast-forward to today, and he’s entering his first full awards season as the head designer at Chanel. I bet he has some fun surprises in store.” —Ana Colón, interim style director
“I remember squeaking with joy when Elle Fanning walked out in a champagne-colored, capital-B Ball gown with a sequined leopard-print bustier. The dramatic Balmain dress felt like a rallying cry for her fellow actors to bring more personality and camp to the red carpet. Huge Kudos to Fanning and her stylist, Samantha McMillen.”—Emma Childs, fashion features editor
“Glittery, buoyant gowns were my stars of the evening—Zoe Saldana, Quinta Brunson, and Mikey Madison all opted for sparkles and sequins, bringing a shot of joy to the bleakest month of the year. I especially loved Cara Delevingne in custom Gucci that fit like a (sparkly!) second skin.” —Jenny Hollander, digital director
"I’ve supported Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner’s romance since day one, but I’m an even bigger fan of Jenner’s Supportive Girlfriend Style during award season. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley’s public relationship has top billing on the billionaire’s mood board: she (and stylists Alexandra and Mackenzie Grandquist) tracked down Hurley’s exact Versace Spring 1999 dress for the 2025 Golden Globes." —Meguire Hennes, fashion staff writer
"I love a method-dressing moment, so I’m going to have to go with Ariana Grande for my favorite Golden Globes fashion moment from last year. Grande stunned in an archival Givenchy dress, which her stylist Mimi Cuttrell pulled from the label’s Haute Couture Spring 1966 collection. Coated in butter yellow, her embellished gown paid homage to the iconic Yellow Brick Road." —Lauren Tappan, fashion editor
Meet the 'Marie Claire' Golden Globes Correspondent
While I’m serving fashion analysis from New York City, social media director Christina D’Ambrosio is live at the red carpet in Los Angeles. While she’s reported at every major event from the VMAs to the Met Gala, she told me this year’s Golden Globes could set a new standard—at least in the Internet Boyfriend department.
"Although I’d be remiss not to mention how excited I am to see the boys from Heated Rivalry, I’ll admit I'm eager to see *all* of our internet boyfriends on the carpet," she says. "Will Timmy be in 'Marty Supreme' orange? What will Joe Keery wear? Only time will tell…"
Before she headed to her spot on the carpet, Christina also sent me a snap of her Misha red carpet gown. Stunning, if I do say so myself. —HL
Meet the Official Golden Globes Correspondent
Mary Beth Barone, comedian and star of Overcompensating, is the official correspondent for the Golden Globes' social media channels this year. She showed up bright and early in a moody black column dress—no word on the designer behind it just yet. (But according to her Instagram, some 1990s Versace was on the inspiration board.) —HL
How to Watch the 2026 Golden Globes Red Carpet Live
What, you don’t just want to refresh this blog? I’m kidding—in addition to expert analysis, there’s something special about seeing all those custom and vintage red carpet gowns in motion.
This year, you can tune into E! and Peacock for the annual LIVE from E!: Golden Globes red carpet broadcast, hosted by Zuri Hall, Justin Sylvester, and Keltie Knight. It’ll air from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., but be warned: Some stars show up even earlier, and I’ll have them covered right here.
Several news organizations, like the Associated Press, stream live coverage on their YouTube and social media channels. Just note, these don’t always come with live commentary or insight into who’s wearing who.
For 360-degree fashion coverage, don’t turn off the TV when the red carpet officially ends. Flip over to CBS for the main show, and you may catch a few celebrities skipping the red carpet and heading straight to their seats. (Kylie Jenner is a usual suspect.) —HL
Your First Look at the 2026 Golden Globes Red Carpet
Lights! Camera! Roses! The 83rd Annual Golden Globes red carpet is already awash in miles of blooming florals. Soon enough, the biggest stars of the year will be glowing right in front of them. —HL
Your 2026 Golden Globes Red Carpet Cheat-Sheet
Dozens of major stars are filtering into the Beverly Hilton Hotel tonight with an objective to make fashion history. This is the award show where Julia Roberts wore her boundary-pushing Armani suit in 1990, after all.
So, who’s on my radar? Host Nikki Glaser will likely be one of the first guests to hit her step-and-repeat marks. (She’s got to head backstage and prepare her monologue, after all.) Then, I’m keeping an eye out for nominees who frequently make the best-dressed list, including Selena Gomez, Teyana Taylor, and last year’s Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical winner, Demi Moore. First-time attendees also have a way of making their presence known with a major pull—so Chase Infiniti and Eva Victor will be ones to watch.
With a guest list like this, Hollywood’s most notable stylists will be booked and busy tonight. Samantha McMillen is dressing both Fanning sisters; Danielle Goldberg has a flock of It girls to style, including Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama nominee Jessie Buckley and presenter Zoë Kravitz. Trust that I’m refreshing all their Instagram accounts to see who’s on the official roster this time. —Halie LeSavage
