The 26 Best Golden Globes Dresses of all Time

The blonde bombshell collected the “Henrietta” award at the 1962 Globes wearing a sequined Norman Norell gown that’d be just as stylish now as it was then. 

The effortlessly chic 60-year-old Hepburn won the Cecil B. DeMille Award while wearing an elegant white silk sheath with exaggerated shoulders, courtesy of an unknown designer.

The veteran actress looked so glamorous at the 54th Golden Globe Awards. Baranski stunned in black velvet mermaid gown, featuring a sweetheart neckline and a sparkly mermaid flare. She paired the number with matching elbow-length gloves and accessorized with silver bracelets.

The same year Aniston said goodbye to Friends, she donned a stunning black Valentino gown that was both classic and daring. (Remember, this was, like, ten years before “side boob” was a thing.)

Kidman peacocked, both literally and figuratively, when she snagged the award for Best Actress in a Drama Motion Picture in a slinky bias-cut Gucci number. The plume details and rich hue were an unexpected choice for an actress who typically goes neutral.

I love how Knightley’s crepe satin Valentino pairs a simple column silhouette with a flashy kimono belt and tassels.

Queen Bey looked like a trophy in her shimmery gold-and-silver gown by Elie Saab, complete with a plunging neckline.

Mendes frequently gravitates toward feminine pieces with flourish. This Christian Dior is proof that all-white plus oversize bows need not look bridal.

Angie stole the show back in ’11 when she appeared like a Kelly green (Versace) goddess in a sea of black and white.

J.Lo knows how to make a statement, and she certainly didn't disappoint with this ensemble. The "Marry Me" singer stole the show in her sheer Zuhair Murad white gown, which features some intricate white embroidery.

Fact: Red is definitely Nyong'o's color. And who says you have to have superpowers to flaunt a cape? 

Sequins, feathers, sass…this Givenchy gown truly has everything. 

I love the way this Dior number plays with proportion and sex (those side cutouts!) and nods to the crop-top trend that seemed to be everywhere that year.

It takes guts to rock a décolleté, and Jessica Biel did just that in this stunning Elie Saab ensemble.

When Natalie Portman walked the red carpet in support of her nomination for Jackie, the biopic about Jackie Kennedy, she wore a yellow dress by Prada that channeled a famous gown that the First Lady wore in 1961. But I'm seeing even older fashion echoes in the long-sleeved gown, which has an Empire waist that skillfully flatters the actress's baby bump: Portman is giving Elizabethan era elegance.

Although everyone wore black dresses to the 75th annual Golden Globes, Catherine Zeta-Jones’s sheer gown was undoubtedly memorable. 

Decked out in a lengthy train and matching bolero, a star was born in Lady Gaga’s Valentino Couture number at the 2019 Globes. 

Not only did Oh take home the award for Best Actress in a Drama TV Series for Killing Eve, but she also looked incredible in this white Atelier Versace.

Zoë Kravitz stepped out in a stunning gown by Saint Laurent and proved there’s no such thing as too many polka dots.

ScarJo not only lived up to her name in a crimson silk faille strapless gown from Vera Wang at the 2020 Globes, but also she gave us all a glimpse at her back tattoos, which show a branch of roses and a lamb.

This Alex Vinash suit was custom-made for Billy Porter and took three months to design. It featured a custom feathered train that required an assistant to carry and arrange on the red carpet and that zipped off to allow the actor and singer to sit down.

Accepting her award for best supporting actress in a limited series, the White Lotus star delivered a heartful speech that made show creator Mike White cry. Her sequin Dolce & Gabbana dress with a slightly off-the-shoulder neckline was a dignified yet snazzy backdrop to the engaging star's winning night.

Robbie pretty much nailed all of her Barbie-inspired looks, but this custom Giorgio Armani hot pink gown—inspired by the 1977 SuperStar Barbie Doll—is easily a standout. (Fun fact: She accessorized with $3 million worth of jewelry.) 

Gomez lit up the red carpet in this vibrant red dress with an asymmetrical hemline, courtesy of Giorgio Armani. It features multiple cutouts with black detailing, and she completed the look with matching Christian Louboutin heels.

The Challengers star graced the red carpet in a custom monochromatic burnt orange Louis Vuitton gown that left us all in awe. She paired the strapless dress with matching orange shoes, Bulgari jewelry and a sleek old Hollywood bob.
