Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, & More Of The Golden Globes’ Best-Dressed Stars
Their glamorous outfits won the night.
The first big Hollywood event of 2025 — the Golden Globes — is officially a wrap. Held on Sunday, Jan. 5, at The Beverly Hilton, Hollywood’s finest showed up on the red carpet, looking chic in bedazzled dresses and dramatic statement pieces.
Highlights included Cynthia Erivo, who didn’t disappoint in the method-dressing department, channeling her witchy Wicked character in an angular black number plus crystal nails. Costar Ariana Grande, meanwhile, went the subtler route, opting for a lesser-known Glinda color for OG Wicked Broadway fans.
The biggest trend of the night? Leaning into the award itself and dripping in gold. Mindy Kaling channeled the prized statue in a crystal-encrusted gilded stunner, while Elle Fanning added a fun mob wife twist to her ballgown.
Other A-listers evoked Old Hollywood, nominees Selena Gomez and Zendaya included. Even their bobs were styled similarly in retro curls, proving that chic minds think alike.
Ahead, the best-dressed attendees from the 2025 Golden Globes.
Zendaya
The Challengers star can wear just about any color of the rainbow (or anything, really), but her burnt orange dress was an unexpected choice that paid off. Between the hue, voluminous train, fitted neckline, and her auburn hair, she looked like she stepped straight out of Hollywood’s Golden Age and into today.
Cynthia Erivo
Nobody in all of Hollywood is ever gonna stop Erivo from serving — or channeling Elphaba, the role for which the actor was nominated. Since her green-skinned character has a love for black dresses and sculptural pieces, she wore a combination of the two to the shindig: a plunging halter LBD with an exaggerated circular skirt and peplum.
Ariana Grande
Like Erivo, Grande was also nominated for her Wicked role and also loves dressing like her character. At the Globes, however, the pop star ditched Glinda’s signature color (read: pink) entirely. The result was pure sophistication reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn. The top half of her empire waist was covered in beading, while the other half was a plain butter yellow.
Miley Cyrus
The Grammy winner’s look was proof that an LBD to an awards show can be exciting. With the plunging and patterned cutouts along the torso, there was nothing drab about this wardrobe staple.
Anya Taylor-Joy
The ’90s were also represented at the awards show, thanks to Taylor-Joy, who wore a slip dress with a deep cowl neck utterly reminiscent of the decade. She accessorized the look with a fringed shawl and topped it all off with an extreme side part.
Quinta Brunson
Whether she’s writing comedic gold for Abbott Elementary or slaying the fashion game, Brunson never misses. Exhibit A: her embroidered chocolate brown gown with an exaggerated, plunging take on a sweetheart neckline.
Cate Blanchett
Blanchett got the gilded memo, looking every bit the Hollywood icon in a Louis Vuitton chainmail gown.
Mindy Kaling
The Office star glistened in a strapless number made of gilded fringe covered in crystals — a stunning choice.
Elle Fanning
Leopard is officially red-carpet appropriate. While animal print isn’t typically see at awards shows, style star Elle Fanning incorporated the trending spotted style into her gold ball gown from Balmain. A++.
Dakota Fanning
Elle’s sister, Dakota, meanwhile, couldn’t have dressed more differently. The actor channeled Old Hollywood glamour in a cherry number with a scarf train detail and thigh-high slit.
Anna Sawai
“Cheugy” peplum style never looked so immaculate. Shōgun star Sawai, who was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama TV Series, wore a pristine strapless ivory gown with a subtle flair.
Heidi Klum
The supermodel packed a triumvirate of spicy details in one verdant number. Cutouts? Check. A cleavage-baring neckline? Check. A high slit? Also check. The result? A glamorous look that was so on brand.
Nicole Kidman
The Babygirl star looked otherworldly in an aqueous draped number that trailed behind her. Between her gown’s one-sided detail and bouffant, she looked like one of mythology’s famed Greek goddesses.
