Golden Globes 2020: Hollywood’s fashion hits and misses

Hollywood’s brightest stars sparkled on January 5 on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, the first showbiz awards gala of 2020. Under sunny skies, the best and brightest of film and television arrived at the Beverly Hilton in their finest for the ceremony, hosted by British comedian Ricky Gervais. Here is a look at some of the trends spotted on the red carpet:

Tinseltown’s A-list wants to make a good impression on the first major red carpet of the year, and how better to do that than in classic black and white, a fashion staple.

Nominated actress Joey King (‘The Act’) created a daring carpet moment in a sculptural black and white Iris van Herpen dress with a mind-boggling wavy detail and bare shoulders.

The stars hit the red carpet in the middle of the afternoon in Los Angeles, but blue was all the rage. 'Judy' star Renee Zellweger gave her own shade to the fashion.

Jennifer Lopez is 50 and fabulous, and has earned lots of praise for her Globe-nominated turn as a veteran stripper with a plan in ‘Hustlers’. Her red carpet moments are sometimes the stuff of legend, like her iconic green Versace dress at the 2000 Grammys. But on Sunday, her Valentino look — topped with a giant green and gold bow — was... less than universally loved. “Jennifer Lopez has come as a giant present. I thought we were past that,” New York Times fashion critic Vanessa Friedman tweeted.

Our favourite, though, was Taylor Swift, channeling sunflowers on the red carpet.

At the other end of the colour palette, Priyanka Chopra Jonas didn’t fail to impress in a rose pink gown. One word comes to mind: Stunning.
