The Chicest Hair & Makeup Looks From The 2025 Golden Globes
Including Miley’s Y2K-style updo.
Every year, the Golden Globes kick-start Hollywood’s glamorous awards season, and on Jan. 5, the film and television industry’s biggest stars showed up and showed out on the red carpet — and made a splash with their glam in the process.
The Globes are often associated with a classic and elegant vibe, rather than a bold and risk-taking one. That said, recent years have brought more unexpected red carpet looks, like flirty Barbiecore ponytails, Y2K spiked tresses, sultry smoky eyes, and more.
This year, a few stars chose the occasion to reveal major hair transformations (see: Emma Stone’s freshly-chopped pixie cut and Ariana Grande’s newly-dyed auburn tresses). Other A-listers — like Selena Gomez, Zendaya, Quinta Brunson, and Alexandra Daddario — stuck with old Hollywood glamour with finger waves, minimal low buns, and retro red lips.
Ahead, scroll through for the most memorable hair and makeup moments from the 2025 Golden Globes.

3Alexandra Daddario’s Ruby Red Lips
Alexandra Daddario wore her near-black hair in a sleek updo that allowed her bold, retro red lip to really pop. Makeup artist Lottie Stannard used the Rouge Dior Lipstick in shade #999 Satin Finish on her pout.
4Ariana Grande’s Auburn Tresses
Ariana Grande officially ditched her Glinda-coded blonde hair hue for a soft, “toasted auburn” shade that felt fresh for the new year. Her makeup artist, Michael Anthony, paired the look with pastel eyeshadow and a cut crease that channeled on-trend ’60s vibes.
5Cynthia Erivo’s Classic Cat Eye
Cynthia Erivo’s XXL marbled nails may have made a daring statement, but the actor chose to keep her glam classic for the Golden Globes. Makeup artist Joanna Simkin used products from Benefit Cosmetics to create her dewy complexion and crisp cat-eye, including Hoola Bronzer in Toasted and Roller Liner in Black.
6Miley Cyrus’ Y2K-Style Updo
She’s just bein’ Miley — and by that, I mean she showed up at the Golden Globes looking like a rocker chick. This year, she opted for a Y2K-esque updo, courtesy of Bob Recine, who was inspired by Debbie Harry and Japanese cartoon characters. He used Nexxus products to create the look.
7Viola Davis’ Sultry Burgundy Lips
Viola Davis brought the drama to the Globes red carpet by letting her natural coiled hair texture shine and accentuating her pout with a sultry burgundy moment. Chef’s kiss.
8Zoe Saldaña’s Slicked-Back Bun
Zoe Saldaña slicked her espresso-hued hair into a sleek bun, allowing her dewy skin to take center stage. Celebrity facialist Lord Gavin helped prep her complexion with a handful of products from Augustinus Bader, while makeup artist Vera Steimberg further boosted her glow with the new CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Face Mask.
9Demi Moore’s Golden Glam
Demi Moore understood the assignment and showed up at the Golden Globes wearing a gold gown and matching eye makeup. Makeup artist Rokael Lizama used Diorshow 5 Couleurs in #559 Poncho and #539 Grand Bal to create the glimmering look.
10Elle Fanning’s Elegant Low Bun
Elle Fanning opted for an elegant low bun, giving the look a modern twist with a structural swoop that extended from a deep side part.
11Selena Gomez’s Old Hollywood Glam
Selena Gomez looked impeccably classic in a powder blue Cinderella-coded gown. She kept her hair and makeup just as traditional with a red lip and Marilyn Monroe-esque hair, which was styled by Renato Campora using both ghd’s Curve Classic Curl Iron and Curve Soft Curl Iron.
12Quinta Brunson’s Finger Waves
Quinta Brunson stunned in a rich chocolate gown and 1920s-style Old Hollywood finger waves. Makeup artist Kasha Lassien complemented the look with a smoky brown eye, courtesy of Chanel’s Les Beiges Healthy Glow Natural Eyeshadow Palette in Tender.
13Nicole Kidman’s Voluminous Updo
Nicole Kidman gave serious babydoll vibes with her ultra-voluminous Barbiecore updo. Celeb hairstylist Adir Abergel created the memorable look with Virtue products, Kristin Ess Hair hot tools, Denman brushes, and BELLAMI extensions.
14Anya Taylor-Joy’s Pink Glam
From her satin gown and sheer glossy nails to her radiant makeup, Anya Taylor-Joy was a vision in pastel pink. Makeup artist Georgie Eisdell created her flawless glam using Dior Beauty products, while hair guru Gregory Russell finished off her look with a slicked-back bun.
15Naomi Watts’ Flipped Bob
Naomi Watts donned a gorgeous Old Hollywood look — with a modern twist. While she sported a deep side part, celebrity hairstylist Robert Vetica styled her hair in the very on-trend flipped bob. Then, makeup artist Mary Wiles prepped her glowing skin and décolletage with the Tronque Body Contour Massager, which promotes lymphatic drainage, before giving her color via the Le Rouge Français Cheek & Lips in Néfertiti.
16Mikey Madison’s Shimmering Eye
Anora star Mikey Madison looked like a trophy, as her metallic eyes sparkled as much as her gold sequin dress. Makeup artist Melissa Hernandez prepped the star’s complexion with CurrentBody’s LED face mask and G.M. Collin skin care, then painted her lids with Armani’s Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow in shades 18M and 22M plus a touch of 30M on the outer corners. For added shine, she topped it off with Armani’s Luminous Silk Acqua Highlighter in shade 1.
