Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 7, 2025, Winnipeg, Manitoba C2 ● WINNIPEGFREEPRESS.COMTUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 2025 Old-school Hollywood, opera gloves on the red carpet Golden Globes GLAMOUR B EVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Fasten your seatbelts, fashion fans! With some of Hollywood’s most fash- ion-forward stars up for awards this year, it’s going to be an eventful sea- son. And the Golden Globes gets it all started, with stars (and their stylists) marking their territory at one of Holly- wood’s splashiest events. Big this year: lots of sparkle and shine, and a return to old-school red carpet glamour. Also: long opera gloves. Here are some of the looks catching attention Sunday at the Golden Globes: ● Ariana Grande: From Glinda pink to Hepburn yellow She didn’t wear pink, the favoured colour of Glinda the Good, but Wicked star Grande evoked another Ozian colour — yellow (of the yellow brick road, of course) in Givenchy haute couture. The gown was pale silk with a hand-beaded bodice, a vintage 1966 gown from what the designer calls the Audrey Hepburn era of Givenchy. She wore a Swarovski choker and white opera gloves. ● Mikey Madison: New movie star, new fashion star Few red-carpet arrivals were more an- ticipated than that of Mikey Madison, the breakout Anora star who has been making waves in the fashion world, too, this season. Madison wore a shiny, gold, strapless column gown from Bottega Veneta that emphasized her much-discussed fashion transforma- tion into classic movie-star glamour. ● Cate Blanchett: Glistening in gold Actor Blanchett looked like an awards statue come to life in a glistening gold gown with a ruched top by Louis Vuitton — one that she also wore at the Cannes Film Festival. New gold stones were added to the gown, designed by Nicholas Ghesquière, to freshen the look. ● Nicole Kidman: Sparkling in silver Where Blanchett glistened in gold, Kidman sparkled in silver, in a daring, one-shoulder backless Balenciaga gown. The Babygirl star polished off the look with a chic, voluminous half-ponytail. ● Ali Wong: Fiery in red Actor-comedian Wong wasn’t easy to miss on the carpet: she wore a cas- cading gown of bright fire-engine red tulle. The grand Balenciaga number was accessorized with a satin belt and glamorous black spandex opera gloves, almost up to the shoulder. ● Zoë Kravitz: Old-school glamour, a pink bow The Blink Twice director went tradi- tional with a black velvet Saint Laurent gown featuring a plunging neckline with a sweet pastel silk bow around her waist. She was a favourite of Kevin Huynh, InStyle’s fashion director, who said he loved how she “channelled old- school Hollywood glamour.” ● Timothée Chalamet: No wool beanie here Globes host Nikki Glaser zeroed right in on Chalamet, one of the hottest stars in Hollywood, in her monologue, telling him: “You have the most gorgeous eyelashes on your upper lip.” As for the clothes on his body, Chalamet went more traditional than other recent trips to the carpet, wearing a sleek Tom Ford black suit with embel- lished jacket, a white shirt and a blue scarf tossed around his neck (or was it a tie?). No wool beanie like in the Dylan-inspired look he wore to the New York opening of his film, A Com- plete Unknown. ● Colman Domingo: Still slaying on the carpet One surefire red-carpet star is Sing Sing actor Colman Domingo, who con- sistently wows with his appearances. These Globes were no exception. His Valentino ensemble included a volumi- nous, ever-stylish silk bow tie in black and white, and a polka-dot shirt. ● Cynthia Erivo: Five-hour nails The Wicked actor continued her season-long fashion show in a black embellished dress by Louis Vuitton, choosing not to wear green this time. But it was her remarkably detailed nail art, a hallmark of Erivo’s style, that got a lot of attention, too, including her admission on E! News that it had taken her manicurist five hours to create the day’s artwork. ● Kerry Washington: Opera gloves are a thing Those opera gloves are really a thing this year: also wearing them was actor Washington, who sported a neon pink silk taffeta gown, also from Balencia- ga, with a train — the combo providing “a bit of edgy glamour,” Huynh said. ● Angelina Jolie: Mom and daughter, co-ordinated Jolie was definitely part of the eve- ning’s glamour contingent, wearing a glistening Alexander McQueen gown of intertwining metallic colours in a branchlike pattern. Her daughter, Zahara, dressed to co-ordinate with mom with a similar pattern on her long white dress. Huynh said it was one of his favourite looks, because while Jolie is often known to wear simple, sleek gowns, “this dazzling, heavily embel- lished McQueen look made her every bit the silver screen siren.” ● Tyler James Williams: Schooling the masses in fashion Williams, of Abbott Elementary, is never safe or boring on the carpet. On Sunday he sported a grey pinstripe suit with cropped, double-breasted jacket with dramatic shoulder pads and a bare chest peeking out over loose trousers. ● Quinta Brunson: Sequins to spare Williams’ colleague, Abbott Elemen- tary creator and star Quinta Brunson, looked sleek in a heavily embellished custom Roberto Cavalli gown. Huynh called the colour, chocolate brown, “The colour of the season.” ● Glen Powell: A (fashion) hit man in Armani Powell eschewed the tie and instead channelled casual glamour in an open- necked brown shirt and black velvet jacket by Giorgio Armani. Looks like Powell’s “are proving that best-dressed lists aren’t just for actresses,” Huynh said. ● The Lookalikes: Dressing up for the night It’s been the year of celeb lookalike contests. Max Braunstein won a Powell lookalike contest. Miles Mitchell won a Chalamet event. And so they both ended up at the Globes. Their key fashion accessory: signs that read “I won a lookalike contest and now I’m at the Golden Globes.” — The Associated Press GEORGE PIMENTEL / THE CANADIAN PRESS Ariana Grande arrives in a vintage 1966 Givenchy gown Sunday at the Golden Globes in Los Angeles.
