Fashion at the Golden Globes: Ceremony showcases hybrid of red carpet and bold at-home looks

While a handful of presenters were pictured arriving in person, at either New York’s Rainbow Room or the Beverly Hilton in LA, many of the night’s most talked-about looks were beamed in virtually or posted to social media prior to the show.

Among them was Rosamund Pike’s hot pink Molly Goddard gown and black platforms, which the British actress used to create her own red carpet moment on Instagram. Emerging from a hotel elevator, she performed a dramatic high kick before gliding down the lobby on her way to winning a best actress award in a motion picture musical or comedy for her performance in “I Care a Lot.”

Elsewhere, there were plenty of bright colors and escapist fun on display — from feathers to elaborate embroidery — as stars posted their glamorous snaps to Instagram and Twitter.

Kaley Cuoco, nominated for her role in “The Flight Attendant,” opted for a sparkling silver princess dress by Oscar de la Renta. Amanda Seyfried also chose Oscar de la Renta, channeling old Hollywood glamour in a stunning a coral gown with floral embellishments.

Some of the evening’s big winners also wowed with their stay-at-home fashion — not least Andra Day, who posted images of her herself in a silk dress from Chanel’s Spring/Summer Haute Couture 2021. She later won a best actress award for a motion picture drama for “The United States vs Billie Holiday.” Emma Corin, who took home a Golden Globe for her role as Princess Diana in “The Crown,” meanwhile looked fittingly regal in a custom Miu Miu gown with an Elizabethan-inspired ruff collar.

Those fortunate enough to walk the red carpet in person also brought pops of color and playful detailing. Angela Bassett wore a one-shouldered Dolce and Gabbana gown with feather trims, and Awkwafina went for retro wavy stripes.

But none could match Cynthia Erivo for boldness. One of the best-dressed stars of last year’s awards season, she stunned in a futuristic neon green Valentino number with daring silver platforms.
