Awards season has officially clocked in—and Hollywood did not come to play. As the 2026 Golden Globe Awards roll out the glittering red carpet, all eyes are locked on Tinseltown’s biggest stars bringing drama, diamonds and designer heat. With comedian Nikki Glaser returning as host for the second year in a row, the night promises laughs, shock wins and viral fashion moments.
The Globes were already making headlines before a single envelope was opened. For the first time ever, the awards introduced a Best Podcast category—proof that Hollywood is finally bowing to the power of the mic. On the film front, Paul Thomas Anderson’s explosive One Battle After Another stormed in with a leading nine nominations, including an eye-popping five acting nods. Close behind are Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value with eight nominations and Sinnerswith seven. Television heavyweights aren’t left out either, with The White Lotus and Adolescence scoring six and five nominations respectively.
But let’s be real—the red carpet is the real main event.
Expect glamour turned all the way up. While Golden Globe nominees are known for leaning into timeless elegance over risky fashion gambles, history proves the Globes can still deliver unforgettable style moments. From Nicole Kidman’s iconic peacock-feather Gucci gown in 2005, to Beyoncé’s body-skimming, plunging Elie Saab masterpiece in 2007, and Lady Gaga’s ethereal periwinkle Valentino couture in 2018—the fashion archives are rich.
Last year raised the bar even higher. Mikey Madison stunned in Matthieu Blazy’s final custom Bottega Veneta creation—a sculpted, scaly gold strapless gown—while Angelina Jolie floated down the carpet drenched in jewels, serving pure old-Hollywood royalty in McQueen.
Now, 2026 is ready to etch its own fashion history.
