This past Sunday, the stars aligned in Los Angeles for the 82nd Annual Golden Globes, marking the official start of awards season. The night, filled with glitz, glamour and unforgettable highlights, offered plenty of inspiration for our mood boards. The red carpet featured an array of incredibly talented musicians, actors and filmmakers, all dressed to the nines. From the case of Wicked to those of Shogun, our favorite A-listers not only stunned us in designer attire but also captivated us with their beauty choices.
Whether it’s dramatic smoky eyes, glowing complexions or intricate hairstyles, this televised event always delivers some of the year’s most iconic celebrity moments. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite looks from past awards, which continue to inspire us on and off screen. From Janelle Moneá‘s braided buns to Salma Hayek’s red lips, here is some of the most memorable glam in Golden Globes history.
Emily Ratajowski
Back in 2017, sun-kissed beauty was all the rage. Emily Ratajkowski made a jaw-dropping entrance at the Golden Globes, radiating the warm, glowing energy that was the defining makeup trend of the year.
Janelle Monáe
At the 2020 iteration of the awards show, Janelle Monáe stunned in braided buns topped off with a striking gold hat. She paired the combo with a dramatic winged liner, creating a look that screamed masterpiece.
Rachel Brosnahan
There’s nothing like a perfectly styled bow to elevate your Golden Globes beauty and Rachel Brosnahan mastered the ponytail with her flawless, meticulously wrapped ribbon.
Ariana Greenblatt
The classic French manicure, the fierce smoky eye… sometimes, taking a risk and going all out pays off. Ariana Greenblatt nailed this maximalist vibe and we’re here for it.
Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts has always been known for breaking beauty conventions and in 1989, when she took home the Golden Globe for Steel Magnolias, she combined a chic suit with her stunning, natural curls.
Salma Hayek
A red lip is a rarity on the awards circuit, but Salma Hayek makes it her signature. The Mexican actress has graced countless red carpets, but this beauty moment will always be our favorite.
Michelle Yeoh
Michelle Yeoh conquered the 2023 awards season, taking home the “Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy” award for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once — and stealing our hearts with her sleek, pin-straight hair.
Billie Eilish
Last year’s awards show proved that we don’t have to conform to the traditional red carpet dress code — or the usual beauty standards. Billie Eilish defied expectations (as she usually does) with an edgy blend of red and black hair, featuring striking face-framing money pieces and pretty, effortless makeup.
Halle Berry
We can never forget Halle Berry, a true veteran of practically every awards show. Her 1997 updo is one for the history books — paired with a ’90s matte base and a neutral lip, her nostalgic glam will continue to replay in our minds for years to come.
Sophia Loren
We couldn’t round out the list without throwing it way back to a truly iconic woman, Sophia Loren. The Italian-born actress, known for her timeless beauty, defined classic glamour with barely there brows and intense eyeliner.
