Can you really over-dress for an award show? The answer is definitely yes. From "sci-fi tooth
fairy" to black-veil funeral chic, these are the looks that took it too far at the Golden Globes.
First, let's talk about Selena Gomez. The "Only Murders Left in the Building"
actress donned a Giorgio Armani dress with an asymmetrical hemline, a black waistband,
and some cutouts around the chest topped with black embroidered flowers. There's too much going
on that we don't know what we're supposed to be looking at. While each element might shine solo,
together, they clash and form a confusing mess. This outfit sadly cements Gomez's
reputation for questionable Golden Globes choices, proving that sometimes,
more is just…more. At least Gomez herself appeared to love her ensemble. She told People:
"I love the asymmetrical hemline. Having a cutout in the dress really felt edgy and fun."
If Selena Gomez's outfit had us yearning for less, Jonathan Bailey is on the complete
opposite side of the spectrum. The "Fellow Travelers" actor arrived on the red carpet
sporting a pristine white three-piece Givenchy suit, notably unadorned with
any accessories to give it more pizzazz. Kudos to his stylist for the impeccable tailoring,
but the outfit was a snooze fest. It could have been a major fashion statement if there
was something else there that packed a punch. Maybe he's really going for vanilla? Who knows?
Another fashion darling that disappointed us this year is none other than Dua Lipa, who pulled up
to the event wearing a Schiaparelli number. But, what's head-scratching about her ensemble is the
chaos of random elements: The top half featured a bustier corset with golden skeletal accents,
but it took an unexpected turn with a flared skirt, mimicking a mermaid's tail but missing
the mark on cohesiveness. But hey, at least she achieved what she was going after. After
telling ET that she loves "the drama" of major Hollywood events like the Golden Globes, she said:
"Also it makes me feel like I'm still cosplaying mermaid Barbie for a little bit longer."
"Yes!"
Emily Blunt is one of those fashion icons who rarely misses on red carpets,
but to put it bluntly, she sorely missed the mark at the 2024 Golden Globes this year. She
was decked out in an Alexander McQueen dress that featured a figure-hugging bodice with
specks of golden detailing to match the occasion, only to be finished by a ruffled sheer hem that
honestly ruined the look — objectively speaking. It was a tale of two halves:
The top exuded elegance, while the bottom ventured into tacky territory. At least,
she brought a nice accessory: her husband, John Krasinski.
Sorry, folks, but the mother is just not mothering today. Jennifer Lawrence's outfit
left a lot to be desired, with the "No Hard Feelings" actor decked out in an all-black,
velvet Dior gown with a tiny trail and a plunging neckline. She topped it off with silver jewelry
and a matching clutch bag. No hard feelings J. Law, but you played it too safe. Was this
really it? While we're big fans of minimalism, this overall look was minimalism with a yawn.
A murder on the dance floor or a murder on the fashion floor? Rosamund Pike attempted to make a
statement by gracing the event wearing a Dior ensemble that made her look like she was in
mourning rather than strutting. The "Saltburn" star wore a black tea-length dress accentuated
with laced netting along the neckline and sleeves and topped it off with a matching
veiled headpiece, which was more funereal than fashionable. She could have gone without it,
honestly, but to be fair to the star, she had a good reason. She told Access Hollywood:
"I'm here in honor of my film, Saltburn, and, umm…"
"...and Elspeth, my character, might have worn black to her wedding."
The day Hollywood men discover how to pull off a colored suit is the day we will know peace,
but alas, today is not the day. Justin Hartley, who was hilariously mistaken
for Glen Powell at the 2024 Golden Globes, sported a camel-colored Nana Sartoria suit,
Christian Louboutin leather shoes, and a Rolex timepiece. Standing out in a sea
of black suits isn't hard, but doing it well? Apparently, that's another story.
The suit could use a little more tailoring. Hartley was certainly no match for his wife,
Sofia Pernas, who stunned on the red carpet wearing a bejeweled Pamella Roland dress.
Oh Billie Eilish, what was that outfit made for? Not a red carpet event, that's for sure. While
the "Happier than Ever" singer is often touted for her unconventional sartorial choices, we're having
a tough time getting behind this look. She pieced together an outfit that couldn't decide if it was
channeling schoolgirl vibes or gearing up for a nine-to-five at the office. It was composed of
a Willy Chavarria skirt, an oversized blazer, and Mary Janes. We've got to give it to her,
though, as she revealed that half the look was from her closet. She told Access Hollywood:
"This is from, like, a present I got on my birthday. It's like a little ribbon.
And then this is, these are shoes I thrifted. And, anyway, whatever."
We give it half a slay for sustainability.
Ah, yes, everyone's golden boy wasn't exuding golden vibes at the awards show. Timothée
Chalamet disappointingly donned a Celine Homme by Hedi Slimane ensemble, which unfortunately
included a button-down shirt that screamed casual. Luckily, it was somewhat salvaged by a sequined
blazer with polka dot accents, sleek cigarette pants, and a crystal necklace. Still though,
they weren't enough to elevate the look. And let's be honest, perhaps his main agenda for the night
was less about making a fashion statement and more about exchanging smooches with Kylie Jenner.
We love a structured gown as much as the next person, but Natasha Lyonne's just wasn't
giving. Her Schiaparelli SS23 piece proved to be more of a dental disaster than a red
carpet stunner. The dress, which resembled an upside-down molar that looked like it
belonged to the Tooth Fairy's collection rather than a Hollywood star's wardrobe,
engulfed her frame rather than enhancing it. It's a classic case of the dress wearing the star,
not the other way around. Better luck next time.
