The 2024 awards season has kicked off in style – as stars arrive at the Golden Globes in Los Angeles for the first major red carpet event of the year.
A four-month strike kept actors away from the red carpet for much of the second half of 2023. With the hiatus over, Hollywood A-listers are now dressed to impress once again and making up for lost time.
Compared to the Oscars, the Golden Globes are usually a more relaxed affair, and this can show itself in a more playful mood on the red carpet – though in 2023 the weather was damp, the carpet was grey and the looks relatively muted by awards show standards.
This year celebrities are battling some gusty winds, but the sun is out, the carpet is a plush crimson and the stage set for a serious dose of glamour – and hopefully a few sartorial surprises.
British actress Rosamund Pike, nominated for her role as an aristocratic matriarch in Saltburn, was an early arrival on the red carpet.
She accessorised her black lace dress with a dramatic matching headpiece – not entirely a fashion choice.
She says the “protective veil” is because she hurt her face in a skiing accident over Christmas.
Up against Pike in the same category is Julianne Moore, who is wearing a structural red dress – complete with deep pockets. Moore says she wishes there were some snacks in there, but they’ve been keeping her hands warm.
Like Pike, also dressed in black was Angela Bassett, whose dress and shoes are Dolce and Gabbana.
For last year’s promotional tour of Barbie, Margot Robbie wore a series of predominantly pink looks inspired by the doll and it seems she might have saved the best for last.
Tonight she’s in a custom-made replica 1977 Superstar Barbie outfit by Armani consisting of a hot pink sequinned gown accessorised with a tulle stole.
Asked by Variety what made her decide to wear pink tonight, Robbie replied: “I just woke up and thought maybe this would be appropriate tonight.”
The men are off to a strong start, too.
Besides being one of the most in-demand young actors in Hollywood right now, Saltburn star Barry Keoghan has also become something of a fashion darling.
Tonight he’s resplendent in red custom Louis Vuitton.
Gillian Anderson, meanwhile, is wearing a dress by designer Gabriela Hearst. She said it was embroidered with female anatomy, in a protest against restrictions on women’s rights, Deadline reported.
