As one of the first major red carpet event of the year, the Golden Globes always brings out a line-up of show-stopping red carpet looks. Showcasing the best vintage gowns and fresh-from-the-runway couture, the 2025 ceremony in January will only add to this exhaustive list of stellar style.
Over the years, the best and worst looks have gone down in history — who could ever forget Julia Robert’s iconic Giorgio Armani suit in 1990? Alternately, they can convey a powerful message. Take 2018’s Golden Globes ceremony, for example, where the majority of attendees joined together to wear all black in support of the ground-breaking Time’s Up initiative, which seeks to fight against sexual harassment in Hollywood and beyond.
As we celebrate this year’s Golden Globes, we decided to take a trip down memory lane. From Lady Gaga’s periwinkle Valentino ball gown to Emma Watson’s dress-pant hybrid and Angelina Jolie‘s shimmering emerald Versace gown, take a look back at the most iconic Golden Globes red carpet moments of all time here.
