The 2025 Golden Globes is officially restoring my faith in celebrity fashion. This group of celebs is exactly who we need to kick off award show season… I’m breathing several sighs of relief.

If we’re being honest, award show fits have been pretty meh as of late. Aside from that denim and feather slay from Kacey Musgraves, the 2024 Country Music Awards was absolutely brutal, fashion-wise. (Lookin’ at you, Keith Urban and Megan Moroney.) And why were Selena Gomez and Quinta Brunson’s stylists the only ones who understood the assignment at the 2024 Emmys??

But if the 2025 Golden Globes are any indication, this year is gonna be different. We have serious heavy hitters at this award show — A-list actors who really understand the crucial role fashion plays in their careers and in pop culture. Thankfully, icons like Zendaya, Cynthia Erivo, Miley Cyrus, and Zoe Saldana did not come to play.

Although I am neither a stylist nor a celebrity myself (yet), I do have a passion for judging celebs’ award show fashion. Thus, I give you: the best and worst dressed celebs at the 2025 Golden Globes. (There are more bests than worsts!!)

The Best & Worst Dressed Celebs At The 2025 Golden Globes

Best — Zendaya

Issa Rae once said to Zendaya: “When you look in the mirror, how much do you have to fight the urge to say, ‘Wow, these other bitches aren’t even close?'” And yes. That sums it up.

Worst — Ali Wong

Did someone tell her she was going to a ladybug convention??

Best — Nikki Glaser

Holy fuck. All hail the history-making queen of the Golden Globes!! THIS IS ELEGANCE ON STEROIDS. WOW.

Worst — Kerry Washington

Sigh. Kerry, I am always rooting for you, but what is up with this material…

Best — Zoe Saldana

Oh, she’s taking it. Are you kidding me?!?! The form-fitting dark sparkly dress and the tastefully long brown cape is absolutely everything. Queen of acting. Queen of style. Queen of Hollywood.

Worst — Timothée Chalamet

With all due respect to this curly-haired, meme-machine, national treasure, what the hell is going on with this tie? And this stance?

Best — Colman Domingo

Proof that men can and should wear more than a basic suit!! The polka dots, his scarf, the little bows on his shoes… chef’s kiss.

Worst — Ariana Grande

I’m an Arianator and I’m sorry, but I honestly just liked all of her Wicked press tour looks better than this dress. She still looks stunning though!!

Best — Miley Cyrus

Crying. That’s my Disney queen right there. I one thousand percent approve of Miley in this 2002 do and sexy cutout dress.

Worst — Ashley Graham

Love you, Ashley, but the bottom of this dress is giving… blanket that’s been in a closet for a while. I need more pizazz, more sparkle, some sort of interesting, intentional shape, etc.

Best — Cynthia Erivo

She is a goddess and a fashion icon, and we have no choice but to stan. Although this isn’t my favorite pattern ever (it’s a touch busy), I’m obsessed with the shape.

Worst — Maren Morris

Oh, dear. Who sabotaged this country-pop icon? I have no issues with monochromatic looks, but it has to be a color that doesn’t make me feel stressed.

Best — Brianna Chickenfry

She’s annoying, but I fear she’s serving at this function. It must be the ~I’m done with Zach Bryan~ glow. Stunning, fantastic, no notes.

Worst — Selena Gomez

It hurts my Selenator heart to admit this is not her best award show look… but hey, it’s definitely better than Benny’s!! And I do like the baby blue. Selena skipped the carpet for some reason, but posed with her fiancé inside.

Best — Elle Fanning

It’s a yes from me. I’m living for the cheetah print top and gorgeous poofy skirt. And the tasteful jewelry and red lip?? She understood the assignment. A+++.
