1 day ago 6

The stars hit the red carpet on January 5 for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards. Most seemed to play it safe, showing up in dresses in monochrome colors and with understated elegance.

However, some chose risky or just eye-catching and unusual fashion options. Here are the 11 most unusual red carpet fashion choices at the Golden Globes. Unusual doesn’t mean bad. It means that these actors and actresses took a risk and stood out from the crowd. Whether it worked or not ended up in the eye of the beholder, and they had a lot of fans on social media for doing so.

The show is hosted by comedienne Nikki Glaser and airs live on CBS and Stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET.

1. Glenn Close

Actress Glenn Close was one of the few who took a big fashion risk, and some people felt it paid off. “If there was an Oscar for outfits, Glenn Close would win,” wrote one person on X.

But others weren’t so sure. “What the heck is written all over her dress?” wrote another person.

2. Andrew Scott

The Irish actor Andrew Scott joined the pastel brigade. He paired his bright blue suit with a pearl bracelet.

Reaction was mixed. “The photograph of Andrew Scott, clad in a striking shade of blue, truly stands out and captures attention. The blue attire not only complements his features but also adds a touch of elegance and charm to his overall appearance,” wrote one fan on X.

8. Keri Washington
