The night’s biggest winners went home with awards, but there were plenty of highlights in fashion as well. Sunday’s Golden Globes in Los Angeles started the 2025 award season, and A-listers brought their A-game to the red carpet.
Stars of Wicked Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande didn’t take home awards. But, they did dazzle on the red carpet. Demi Moore, likewise also, was a fashion winner. But she also had a big night winning her first Golden Globe.
Similar to this year’s luxurious Golden Globes gift bag, the red carpet was a parade of extravagant fashion with sprinkles of rose gold, burnt orange, and hot pink. Modest necklines were met with voluminous satin skirts in strapless gowns straight from the runway and stunning archival wear.

These are the best dressed from the 2025 Golden Globes:
Zendaya
Zendaya looked to be the picture of old Hollywood glamour meets Madonna outside The Beverly Hilton Hotel in a burnt orange gown and matching pointed-toe pumps.
With a diamond ring on her left hand and a short bob haircut reminiscent of her character’s sophisticated style in Challengers during the latter half of the film, the actress made viewers swoon as she posed for cameras outside.
Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivo stepped out on the red carpet in a sparkly Louis Vuitton black and white dress with a short angular skirt sculpted on top of a longer one.
The Broadway star’s floral print dress perfectly paid homage to her role as Elphaba in John Chu’s Wicked with its contrasting black (evil) and white (good) tones shimmering throughout.
Ariana Grande
Rather than sticking to her Galinda-tailored palette of pinks, Ariana Grande teamed with her stylist Mimi Cuttrell to pull a pale yellow 1966 Givenchy archive gown for the red carpet.
The artist’s dress with encrusted crystals paired with short white opera gloves and a high ponytail was exceptionally elegant, proving she could epitomize her Wicked character’s delicacy without being too on the nose.
Demi Moore
Before winning for her performance in The Substance, Demi Moore celebrated the glamorous night in a long gold Giorgio Armani Privé gown cut with a silver shimmery streak from the neckline to her hip. Moore’s signature black hair fell effortlessly down her side as she posed for the camera.
Colman Domingo
Colman Domingo spun the silhouette of a classic suit into a funky ensemble, accessorizing it with a polka dot shirt and a soft scarf neck tie with fringe dangling down. The entire outfit was designed by Valentino’s newly appointed creative director, Alessandro Michele.
Fans praised Domingo’s playful style sense online.
“I’d honestly hate this on anyone else, but the man just slays everything single thing he wears,” X user @Djake_Unchained wrote.
Eddie Redmayne
Eddie Redmayne chose not to play it safe, stepping out on the red carpet in a black and white checkered Valentino suit layered over a cream-colored shirt with a Murray Hill collar.
The 42-year-old actor took a risk, bringing a breath of fresh air to the standard tuxedo sported by most men during awards season.
Jeremy Strong
Jeremy Strong looked unbelievably swanky outside The Beverly Hilton Hotel in a turquoise velvet suit with a matching bucket hat.
The 46-year-old Succession actor took home the unofficial award for “best dressed” at the 2025 Golden Globes in the eyes of enamored fans online.
“The real winner tonight, for this outfit alone,” X user @DaltonRoss wrote.
