The 2025 Golden Globes red carpet is officially underway.
Stars are arriving outside The Beverly Hilton Hotel for the 82nd annual ceremony in lush couture and shimmery designer garb, kicking off awards season in style. But, not everybody hit the mark. Bright blues, recycled dresses and all-white were some of the looks that didn’t quite land from the earlier arrivals.

These are the most daring looks from the 2025 Golden Globes:
Dwayne Johnson
While the 52-year-old’s playful attire complimented his kid-friendly role as the voice of “Maui” in Moana, Dwayne Johnson’s lilac outfit didn’t seem to fit the unspoken gold aesthetic at the 82nd annual awards ceremony.
The actor looked to be dressed ready for a spring garden party rather than a glamorous Hollywood affair.
Jennifer Coolidge
Jennifer Coolidge’s kind-hearted, hilarious personality was unfortunately masked by her all-black gown at the 2025 Golden Globes. Rather than stepping out in a colorful, or even sparkly, dress, the performer was covered in the dark garment that didn’t epitomize her bubbly personality at all.
Elle Fanning
Elle Fanning missed the mark on the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet in a billowing dress embellished with a cheetah-print neckline designed to resemble a 1953 haute couture design by Pierre Balmain.
The ornate gown presented a confusing contrast between its fancy ballgown bottom and the pointed V-cut animal print top blended together through a thin belt — an additive that felt a bit like overkill.
Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum bore a green dress with cutouts on the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet.
Andrew Scott
The 48-year-old Irish actor took a risk and wore a bright blue suit with a matching tie and slicked-back hairdo.
Cate Blanchett
The 55-year-old actor arrived on the red carpet in a recycled yellow-gold, floor-length dress with crystals decorating the tops of her shoulders like a coat of armour.
Blanchett previously wore the Louis Vuitton gown at the Cannes Film Festival.
Matty Matheson
Matheson stepped out in funky, Western-esque suiting complete with a bolo tie and loafers with stitched stars over the top.
