Memorable Moments:
From Zendaya’s mysterious (engagement?) ring which caused quite a stir on social media, Demi Moore allegedly snubbing Kylie Jenner to foremost chef, Nobu Matsuhisa posing for photos on the red carpet, together with his A-list celebrity clients, it was a night where anything and everything was possible.
This was was shown when Brazilian actress, Fernandez Torres outshined big name American counterparts (Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman) to win the ‘Best Actress’ in a Motion Picture Drama award.
Red Carpet Fashion
No one expected our favourite (and not so favourite) stars to arrive at the Golden Globes — the awards season opener dressed unseemly and they proved us right. Hollywood’s biggest stars in film and television showed up in style to dazzle both their fans and style editors on ground as well.
– Zendaya who was nominated for best actress in a musical or comedy for “Challengers” was dressed in a lovely burnt orange gown, which featured a sweetheart neckline and a long train. She accessorised with a silver necklace with an emerald jewelry in the middle, a ring on both of her hands and shoes made of the same colour as her gown.
– Kylie Jenner went to the awards ceremony with long-time beau, Timothee Chalamet looking dolled up. She wore a long, silver-sequined gown that had a plunging neckline. The reality tv star and business mogul went really simple for this outing, choosing not to accessorize and letting her sultry dress do all the talking.
– Demi Moore wore a satiny, champagne gold gown that featured a dramatic design on the bustier. For this look, her long hair was let down and the contrast between her dark hair, skin and gown was complementary.
– Zoe Saldana stunned in a glittery, black strapless gown with a plunging neckline and slim-fitting silhouette with all-over sequins. The black number also featured a high slit on the front of the skirt and a trailing cape at the back.
Conclusion
And there you have it folks – the 82nd edition of the Golden Globes Awards. Now, as we look forward to the Oscars, one thing’s for sure – the Golden Globes have set the bar high for what to expect from the 2025 awards season. Did I skip any favourite celebrity moment? Comment below if so.
