After two years, the Golden Globes’ abandoned red carpet has been heavily dusted off for its 2023 comeback.
The annual celebration of film and TV is hosting its 80th anniversary ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California today - certainly an improvement on last year’s event, which saw the show reduced to a streamed offering without a host or a red carpet. The move came after NBC dropped the broadcast and celebrities boycotted the event over corruption and racism claims.
But the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) – the organisation that governs the event – has promised today’s gala will be “Hollywood’s Party of the Year”.
So with that, let’s kick off festivities on the red carpet.
Wrapped in swathes of blood red silk, Lily James has made an entrance for the ages in this extravagant look. She tells red carpet hosts she had to take a car she could “stand up in” to get to the event.
A beaming beauty in lilac, Cuoco is the epitome of glamorous mother-to-be in this Grecian pleated gown.
Ana de Armas
Gone are the blonde locks that framed her role as Marilyn Monroe but Ana de Armas still exudes major star power as a brunette in this chic dress fit to perfection.
Supermodel Heidi Klum goes from one extreme to the other - from her Halloween worm costume, to today’s look: a Cabaret-esque sparkling mini dress with feather details. Also going for a hint of lilac, is she setting a trend for awards shows to come?
Julia Garner
Ruth who? Julia Garner is miles from the Ozarks in exquisite salmon pink with the perfect amount of flounce.
Has this star ever put a foot wrong on a red carpet? Putting the couture in cute suit, Redmayne is perfection with this chocolate number and giant rosette.

Glen Powell
Top Gun: Maverick villain-turned-saviour Glen Powell brings some old Hollywood glam, looking dashing in a tuxedo.
Severance actress Britt Lower rebirths the punk princess trend of our intentionally forgotten youth with this pink and black number.
Bailey Bass
Avatar sequel star Bailey Bass attends her first Globes in a shiny gold number with cute detailing at the waist and a slick up ‘do.
Billy Porter
Always a red carpet favourite, Billy Porter can be counted on to bring the glamour. This year its a sweeping velvet gown with a tuxedo top and bustle and train bottom.
