The Best Looks From the Golden Globes Red Carpet

With some of our favourite stylish women on the ballot—Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, and Jennifer Lawrence, to name a few—this year’s Golden Globe Awards might just be our favourite yet! 

While we're still swooning over (a new favourite of ours) Brie Larson's '70s-inspired hand-embroidered Michael Kors gown and the vintage vibe of Cate Blanchett's effortless Givenchy look, it's worth pointing out all the gorgeous shades of yellow (Jennifer Lopez, American Ferrera and Lola Kirke) that took center stage on the red carpet, too. And of course, there was no shortage of va-va-voom moments either, with plenty of plunging necklines on display. 

Keep reading to see all the night’s standout looks.
