The line between stunning and strange is pretty thin when it comes to award show
outfits. From unexpected bellhop tuxedos to some weirdly eye-catching gloves,
here's who went too far at this year's Golden Globes.
"Murder on the Dance Floor" may be trending on TikTok, but that doesn't
mean the song should've inspired any looks on the red carpet. Nevertheless,
"Killers of the Flower Moon" star Cara Jade Myers went for it, and it was a flop. Blanketing black,
tons of sequins, and glistening shoulder pads are all risky elements, and combined, it was all way
too much. There was really no way to style this gown that wouldn't have swallowed Myers
up. On top of that, the slicked-back bun only served to make her look even more overwhelmed.
Putting a fun twist on a classic suit is a difficult task that has the capacity to
really pay off. The unique fit of "Abbott Elementary" actor Tyler James Williams'
Golden Globes suit actually worked. The print, on the other hand, did not. The
light khaki color with black pinstripes managed to look both drab and costume-y. This may not
have been enough to earn him a place on the Worst Dressed list, but his accessories put
it over the edge. The oversized flower and tie clip just made this look even messier.
It must be Strange Pinstripe Suit Day at "Abbott Elementary," because Chris Perfetti graced the
red carpet in a look that was oddly similar to that of costar Tyler James Williams — and he gave
us an even worse version. The black flower draws even more attention to this unwelcome
accessory than Williams' white version. And, while the lack of shirts seemed to be a trend
on this red carpet, it rarely worked; this look certainly isn't an exception.
Selena Gomez dared to match the red carpet in hopes of taking home the award for Best Actress
in a Musical or Comedy TV Series for "Only Murders in the Building." Her dress was close to being a
favorite. A short red dress could have looked flirty and perfect for the occasion. This one,
on the other hand, had about 50 more details than it could handle. The flower appliques,
the cutouts, and the asymmetry all ensured that we didn't know where on this outfit to look.
There's nothing wrong with an oversized piece if it's done right. However,
actor Jared Leto's entire outfit just looked too big with a too-long jacket and unhemmed pants.
The ill-fitting nature made his lack of shirt look like he simply forgot an important outfit
piece on his way out the door. If all of that wasn't enough, Leto added one particularly odd
accessory: a pair of black leather gloves. Needless to say, we're baffled by this one.
"So why'd you do it?" "I can't answer that."
It's clear that singer Billie Eilish wasn't taking her style for this year's Golden Globes
too seriously. The ensemble certainly has a sense of humor, and it was especially sustainable. She
said she upcycled her necktie out of a ribbon from a gift she was given and even thrifted
some pieces. Even so, this look was probably the biggest mess on the red carpet. The huge skirt and
jacket pairing was confusing enough, but her red spiky bun just made things even more disjointed.
We love it when a star tries out a color combination that we rarely see folks sporting.
In the case of chocolate brown and purple, though, there's a reason no one wears this color combo,
and "Ted Lasso" star Jason Sudeikis just proved it. With a crisp white collared shirt underneath,
Sudeikis definitely could have pulled off this brown suit and pocket square. The purple sweater,
on the other hand, just makes the look too casual, and the color palette falls flat.
We respect actor and filmmaker John Krasinski's attempt at bringing a bit of color to his tux.
However, his shiny red suit jacket just didn't work. The material and color may have matched
the red carpet, but they just weren't right for an occasion like this one, and it gave
off some serious bellhop vibes. Perhaps with a less eye-catching fabric and some black pants
or just an entirely different hue, this 'fit could have looked a little more appropriate.
At first glance, "Poker Face" star Natasha Lyonne's gown looked simple and elegant.
Seeing it from a different angle, though, the very unusual neckline becomes impossible
to ignore. Rather than straps on Lyonne's shoulders, these straps are standing straight
up all on their own. Maybe if they were shorter, this could have been cool and unique. However,
as it is, it's just plain weird, and it distracts from an otherwise pretty gown.
After "Priscilla," Cailee Spaeny has hit it-girl status. But, in this floral dress,
she just didn't look like it. Spaeny is petite at 5 feet, 1 inch tall,
and this tea-length dress makes her look shorter and skews the appearance of her proportions. The
floral print made this dress look better suited for a picnic than a major award ceremony,
and pairing it with the visible corset portion made for a strange cocktail of
vibes. The plain and simple hair and makeup and glitzy necklace made this problem even worse.
"The Last of Us" fans know that Bella Ramsey's acting is out of this world, but that doesn't mean
we want to see them dressed like the janitor on a spaceship. This blue shirt, gray pants,
and chunky black boots made for an odd combination that just felt boring and underdressed. With
a slightly different fit and modified color palette, this outfit could've looked interesting
and fashion-forward, but this version just looked like a yawn-inspiring ensemble from the future.
