It’s official – the 2024 awards season is here! The 81st annual Golden Globes kicks off the two-month-long celebration of the best of the best in music, TV, and film on 7 January at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Last year was the first year back after a brief lapse in 2022, but the red carpet did not disappoint. Hollywood’s honourees and A-listers dazzled, spinning elegance with sparkle in ruffled trains and vibrant tuxedos.

This time, our favourite stars arrived outside the landmark hotel, ready to pay homage to their hard work and talent in custom-made couture. Celebrities donned vibrant garments with delicate adornments from splashes of sparkles to pearl droplets, and stitched floral arrangements. And most proved that the colour red and sequins were here to stay even after the holiday season has been capped.

These are the best dressed from the 2024 Golden Globes.

You can also follow along with all of the latest updates from the Golden Globes live with us here.
