Vogue revisits the glitzy history of the Golden Globes red carpet, highlighting iconic fashion moments from Elizabeth Taylor to Lupita Nyong'o.
On January 5, the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards will celebrate the year’s best moments in TV and film. While the list of nominees for 2025 includes plenty of shockers and snubs, the much-anticipated event is bound to bring all manner of fabulous evening fashions on the red carpet . In honor of the spectacle, Vogue is looking back at some of the glitzy ceremony’s most memorable gowns on the step and repeat.
Ever since the first Golden Globes in 1944, the ceremony has conjured up an overwhelming number of fashion moments that stand the test of time. The early years focused on Old Hollywood glamour: in 1957, Elizabeth Taylor was ethereal in an embroidered gown, tiara, and door-knocker earrings. Later, in 1962, Marilyn Monroe accepted her Henrietta Award in an emerald sequined style. A more-is-more mentality overtook the carpet in the 1970s and ’80s. Sonny and Cher showed up in 1973 looking fresh out of Studio 54, with Cher clad in a heavy fur and groovy, midriff-baring ensemble. In 1987, singer Melba Moore attended in a puff-shouldered red gown that could easily appear on a Valentino runway today. In the ’90s, gowns were pared back with more severe, minimalist silhouettes. In 1999, Angelina Jolie wore a simple tank dress covered in silver sequins. (A woman ahead of her time, she even wore square-toed sandals with it.) In the early ’00s, starlets began favoring flowy, romantic dresses and dainty shoulder straps. Take Halle Berry in 2003, who slipped into one of her best red carpet looks to date—a pastel blue number with form-hugging ruching. Then, fashion got a little more, well, noughties. Beyoncé wore a glittery gold dress by Elie Saab in 2007, a fitting choice given that she was nominated for her role in Dreamgirls. That same year, Reese Witherspoon brought back short hemlines in a now-famous yellow Nina Ricci number. Which leaves us with the recent years. A fan favorite will always be Lupita Nyong’o and her red Ralph Lauren cape dress in 201
