The 82nd Golden Globe Awards officially launched the 2025 awards circuit on Sunday, with stars descending upon the Beverly Hilton for the industry’s first major celebration of the year.
This year’s ceremony, hosted for the first time by comedian Nikki Glaser, promised a balance of humor and respect. In pre-show remarks, Glaser indicated her approach would be sharp but not malicious. “I understand what it’s like to be on the other side of a joke,” she explained, suggesting that her commentary would aim for laughs without creating discomfort, framing it as a positive moment for the subjects.
The red carpet served as the evening’s first spectacle, showcasing a vibrant array of fashion. Standout looks included Dakota Fanning in a radiant red gown and Cate Blanchett in a metallic gold dress that captured the evening’s celebratory tone. Other notable appearances featured Glen Powell in classic black tuxedo attire, Amy Adams in a deep maroon off-the-shoulder design, and Cynthia Erivo in a bold, patterned ensemble.
The event highlighted a diverse range of styles, from Jonathan Van Ness’s striking emerald strapless gown to Tyler James Williams’s contemporary chrome suit, underscoring the personal fashion statements that have become a hallmark of the night.
With the Golden Globes now concluded, the focus of the entertainment industry shifts toward the upcoming awards ceremonies, continuing the season’s recognition of cinematic and television achievements.
