Golden Globes 2025: Most daring looks on the red carpet

Must read

The 2025 Golden Globes red carpet is officially underway.

Stars are arriving outside The Beverly Hilton Hotel for the 82nd annual ceremony in lush couture and shimmery designer garb, kicking off awards season in style. But, not everybody hit the mark. Bright blues, recycled dresses and all-white were some of the looks that didn’t quite land from the earlier arrivals.

These are the most daring looks from the 2025 Golden Globes:

Dwayne Johnson

While the 52-year-old’s playful attire complimented his kid-friendly role as the voice of “Maui” in Moana, Dwayne Johnson’s lilac outfit didn’t seem to fit the unspoken gold aesthetic at the 82nd annual awards ceremony.

The actor looked to be dressed ready for a spring garden party rather than a glamorous Hollywood affair.

Jennifer Coolidge

Jennifer Coolidge’s kind-hearted, hilarious personality was unfortunately masked by her all-black gown at the 2025 Golden Globes. Rather than stepping out in a colorful, or even sparkly, dress, the performer was covered in the dark garment that didn’t epitomize her bubbly personality at all.

Elle Fanning

Elle Fanning missed the mark on the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet in a billowing dress embellished with a cheetah-print neckline designed to resemble a 1953 haute couture design by Pierre Balmain.

The ornate gown presented a confusing contrast between its fancy ballgown bottom and the pointed V-cut animal print top blended together through a thin belt — an additive that felt a bit like overkill.

Kathryn Hahn

Kathryn Hahn arrived outside the 2025 Golden Globes in a two-tone gown that was not well-liked online. The 51-year-old actor’s ensemble was made up of a black, off-the-shoulder long sleeve belted on top of a yellow skirt.

X/Twiter users weren’t to pleased with the “witchy” outfit as many agreed it was one of their least favorite from the night.

“Kathryn hahn STUNS in ugliest dress known to man,” one harsh critic wrote, while another shared an image of Hahn next to the caption: “My worst dressed. Some of these pain me.”

Andrew Scott

The 48-year-old Irish actor took too much of a risk and wore a bright blue Vivienne Westwood suit with a matching tie that looked like it was peeled from the walls of a baby nursery. One amused fan online poked fun at the ensemble.

“So he found his father’s suit from a Wedding in 1973,” user @HorseOneThms wrote on X/Twitter.

Cate Blanchett

The 55-year-old actor arrived on the red carpet in a recycled yellow-gold, floor-length dress with crystals decorating the tops of her shoulders like a coat of armour.

Blanchett’s dress stood out because it was the exact Louis Vuitton gown she previously donned at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024.
