Golden Globes 2025 red carpet: Zendaya, Angelina Jolie, Ariana Grande, Timothée Chalamet lead best dressed

The working year began with a bang for Hollywood’s shiniest stars on Sunday night, as 82nd Golden Globes arrived at the Beverly Hilton hotel, California, kicking off the 2025 awards season.

While all eyes were drawn to the cast of Emilia Pérez, the front-running film with a record-breaking 10 nominations, during the ceremony — attendees did their best to stand out from the fray on arrival.

Zendaya stole the show in a burnt orange, custom Louis Vuitton gown, while Ariana Grande, Angelina Jolie, Timothée Chalamet, nominated for their roles in Wicked, Maria and A Complete Unknown, respectively, all brought sufficient A-list factor.

Cate Blanchett, re-wearing a golden Louis Vuitton frock, Zoë Kravitz, in custom Saint Laurent, and Succession’s Jeremey Strong, in a teal, velvet suit complete with matching bucket hat, were the first to make bold statements.

Joining them was the cast of Baby Reindeer, who laid on the glamour; Richard Gadd, Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau were all in attendance. Andrew Scott shocked in a luminous, turquoise Vivienne Westwood suit (with matching shirt — and tie) while Daniel Craig was dapper in a three-piece, black velvet suit featuring a double breasted waistcoat.

Sparkle column gowns appeared to be the order of service, with Nicole Kidman, Felicity Jones, Mindy Kaling, Eiza González and Kristen Bell all tapping into the new (old) Hollywood slender and shimmery outfit of choice. Meanwhile British actresses Cynthia Erivo, Keira Knightley, Kate Winslet and Cara Delevingne all made sophisticated turns upon arrival.
