Alright, so the Golden Globes dresses. Every year, it’s a bit of a ritual for me, not gonna lie. I tell myself I’ll just have a quick peek, and then suddenly, hours have gone by. It’s quite the rabbit hole, you know?

My Usual Approach
So, what I do is, I usually wait until all the main photos are out. I don’t really follow the live thing, too much fuss. I prefer to just browse through galleries at my own pace. I’ll make myself a nice cup of tea, get comfy on the sofa, and then I start the grand scroll. It’s almost like a research project, but way more sparkly.
I don’t really go in with a plan, like looking for specific designers or anything too fancy. I just look. What catches my eye? What makes me go “hmm” or “wow” or even “what were they thinking?” Sometimes I’ll even make little mental notes, or even jot down a few things if a particular style or color really stands out.
Some things you start to notice year after year…
You definitely see trends, or maybe just things that always seem to be there. For instance:
- There’s always a sea of black. Safe, classic, I get it. Some are stunning, some are just… black dresses.
- Then you have the sparkle brigade. Sequins, glitter, metallic fabrics. You need sunglasses for some of them!
- Big, poofy skirts make an appearance. Like, fairy tale princess level. I always wonder how they sit down in those.
- And then there are the ones that are just… out there. The ones that make you talk. Sometimes it’s art, sometimes it’s just confusing.
What I’m Really Looking For
Honestly, I’m not trying to become a fashion critic. It’s more about observing. I find it fascinating what people choose to wear for these big events. It’s a whole performance, isn’t it? The dress, the hair, the makeup, the whole shebang. It takes a village, I reckon, to get someone ready for that red carpet.

Sometimes I’ll see a color combination that I think is interesting, or a silhouette that I haven’t seen in a while. It’s not like I’m going to rush out and buy a ballgown, but it’s just… inspiration, I guess. Or maybe just pure entertainment. It’s a bit of escapism, looking at all that glamour. You see so many different styles, from the super elegant to the really bold.
After a good session of scrolling, I usually feel like I’ve had my fill of fashion for a bit. My main takeaway is usually just how much effort goes into it all. And how, at the end of the day, a lot of it comes down to how confident the person looks wearing it. That’s the real kicker, I think. You can have the most expensive dress, but if you don’t own it, it just doesn’t work.
So yeah, that’s my little yearly dive into the world of Golden Globes fashion. Not very scientific, just me, my tea, and a whole lot of dresses. It’s a thing I do.
