Gold glitter and glamor ruled the red carpet at the first star-studded event of the year: The Golden Globe Awards.

Held in Beverly Hills, California on January 5, the Golden Globes set the fashion tone for the year as stars paraded down the red carpet in their best attire. Celebrities in attendance included Zendaya, Demi Moore, Selena Gomez, Angelina Jolie, Mindy Kaling, Emma Stone and Nicole Kidman, turning the 2025 Globes into a truly fashion-forward event.

2025 is going to be the year of bold maximalism – that’s what the red carpet scenario suggested. This trend has emerged after ‘quiet luxury’ and ‘minimal elegance’ ruled the fashion game in the last few years.

Billowing silhouettes, opera gloves, glittering jewellery, abundant sequins, shiny hairstyles and deep red tops were the trends at the Golden Globes.

India also saw notable fashion moments, when Lily Singh wore a Gaurav Gupta dress, and Best Director nominee Payal Kapadia wore it in a crisp black silk jumpsuit with brocade accents. Designer Manish Malhotra also debuted a self-designed monochrome tuxedo with a bejeweled lapel.

Let’s explore the extraordinary fashion trends seen at the Golden Globe Awards 2025

gold abundance

If not ‘Golden Globes’, this year’s edition could be called ‘Golden Gowns’. pun intended. With many celebrities taking inspiration from the event’s name, a dazzling array of golden gowns graced the red carpet at the glamorous night.

Fine, shiny, covered in shimmering satin or sequins, golden creations of all kinds were displayed at The Globes.

Mindy Kaling embraced maximalism in an Ashi Studio strapless golden gown adorned with dazzling silver stones. Kristen Bell’s choice for the night was also an Ashi Studio creation in rose gold – a sequined bustier and skirt set.

The night’s host, Nikki Glaser, also wore a stunning gold silk gown by designer Prabal Gurung. Her outfit featured floral wrap detail and a bold plunging neckline.

Cate Blanchett also looked stunning in a high-on-bling Louis Vuitton golden gown with an impressive bubble bustier.

Demi Moore won big at The Globes this year – not only by winning the award for her performance in ‘The Substance’ but also for her fashion choices. She looked very beautiful in a sparkling champagne gold gown by Armani Prive. The crystal embellishments, we must add, further increased the glam quotient!

The sequins are still very much in

Say what you want, but sequins aren’t going anywhere anytime soon! Year after year, sequins continue to dominate. From Lilly Singh’s striking blue Gaurav Gupta gown to Nicole Kidman’s blingtastic (and backless) silver number, these show-stopping looks were among the scene stealers at The Globes 2025.

opera gloves

If there was any fashion element as prominent as the appearance of gold at The Globes 2025, it was opera gloves. The fashion world’s favorite accessory was adopted by many celebrities, including the night’s star Ariana Grande as well as Pamela Anderson and Ali Wong, to add a touch of drama.

dramatic hair, don’t care

The Golden Globes 2025 red carpet marked the return of old Hollywood glamour, especially in the area of ​​hairstyles. Voluminous high ponytails and sleek blow-dried bobs took center stage, with A-listers like Zendaya, Nicole Kidman and Selena Gomez leading the way.

Sensational Satin

The satin ensemble paired with extravagant jewelry was a super-hit combination at The Globes. Zendaya turned heads in a burnt-orange strapless satin gown from Louis Vuitton, which featured a billowing silhouette (hello again, maximalism) and a stunning diamond necklace.

Anya Taylor-Joy also rocked this combination. She wore a pastel pink Archive Christian Dior gown with a huge Tiffany & Co. necklace and a matching bracelet! Wow is definitely the word.
