Hollywood’s top stars hit the red carpet Sunday for the Golden Globes, the first big event leading up to the Oscars, and they served up plenty of old-fashioned glamour.
Here’s a look at some of the views from the Beverly Hilton Hotel:
– evergreen black –
Selena Gomez is newlywed and her happiness shines through. The best comedy actress, nominated for her work in “Only Murders in the Building,” beamed with joy as she landed in the arms of her husband Benny Blanco.
She radiated sophistication in a black Chanel column gown with a foam white feathered strapless neckline, her black bob flowing in soft waves.
Gomez wasn’t alone in striking a simple pose, with plenty of stars opting for black or dark, wintry shades.
Teyana Taylor, winner for her captivating portrayal as a leftist revolutionary in the hot-hit film “One Battle After Another,” scorched the carpet in a cut-out backless black Schiaparelli gown with a halter neckline and an eye-catching crystal bow at the back.
Ariana Grande, who competed with Taylor for the Best Supporting Actress award, turned heads in a black textured Vivienne Westwood ballgown with an asymmetric neckline and a bubble silhouette before falling to the floor.
Her hair was tied into her signature ponytail, and she kept the jewelery simple with a diamond choker.
Amy Madigan, who was also in the cast for her villainous role in “Weapons,” adopted a tuxedo look with cropped pants and patent leather shoes.
Nominee Jenna Ortega embraced the Gothic chic of her title character in “Wednesday” in a black high-neck Dilara Findikoglu gown with glittering epaulettes and a cut-off that revealed a bit of side boob… and part of her hip bone.
Among the male stars in attendance, Colman Domingo stood out as always, wearing head-to-toe black Valentino, with silver flared outs from his left shoulder to his waist.
– Naked ambition –
Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to strong fashion statements. Her dark green Versace gown at the Grammys in 2000 is still a reference to winning the red carpet by adopting the “less is more” rule.
On Sunday, Lopez, whose turn in “Kiss of the Spider Woman” was snubbed by Globes voters, wore a striking sheer gown with bronze patterns on her body that ended in a mermaid fishtail.
Jennifer Lawrence, nominated for Best Drama Actress in a Film for “Die My Love,” also got the memo, wearing a barely-there nude Givenchy gown with strategically placed flowers.
– Stars condemn deadly ICE shooting –
There’s never a night in Hollywood without a little bit of politics.
On Sunday, some stars, including nominee Mark Ruffalo, wore pins with the message “Be Good,” a reference to Renee Good, the Minneapolis woman who was shot and killed by a federal immigration agent.
Comedian Wanda Sykes wore the same pin on her lapel, while actress Natasha Lyonne, nominated for her TV show “Poker Face”, wore a pin in her clutch handbag.
The campaign is supported by the American Civil Liberties Union, one of the nation’s most prominent civil rights organizations.
