Jennifer Lopez’s Golden Globes Red Carpet Masterclass

Glamour

Jennifer Lopez showed everyone how to dress for an awards night. Regina King stunned and shimmered. And Katy Perry seemed somewhere else entirely.

This is EVERYTHING that a red carpet dress should be—J.Lo showing all those in dreary blacks and whites how to pop color, and make it sparkle. And ruche, and tight, and GASP.

The cape, the toga, the Roman look were red carpet favorites. Here Saoirse Ronan makes it look dreamier than most.

An evening of capes began with the brilliant Regina King’s white number, back-billowing from an equally dreamy shimmering dress.

All in white, all drama—Laverne Cox, we bow before you.

I think we’d all benefit from as many nights out as possible with Mr. and Mrs. S.

The hotly tipped Vikander is wearing Louis Vuitton. But what a pallid, dreary dress it is. The Downton servants want their tablecloth back.

Her astonishing performance in Room isn’t really glamour-led. But Brie Larson is making up for it. Calvin Klein. Shimmery. Champagne. Gorgeous.

It’s rare for actresses to take major fashion risks with the eyes of the world on them. Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke does so here—and stunningly—with a gown that mixes cape and slink and lace.

Her night is going to be fun, and she made Ryan Seacrest nervous, which was entertaining in itself.

This is a big Marchesa mess, to match Zendaya’s word salad when she appeared on the red carpet banging on about empowerment or something.

Beautiful dress, great winner’s speech. Winslet’s intelligence, eloquence, and exuberance stands out as ever.

Taraji P. Henson wears white with just the right amount of “Cookie.”

I love this, and when Melissa McCarthy has finished with it, I will use it for sledding when the snow comes. Do not place near a naked flame.

Approach Kirsten Dunst with care, everyone. One false move...

She appears to be living out some kind of pulp fiction notion of the slutty ’50s housewife, adrift on a sea of “dolls,” at the Golden Globes. She also seemed on a planet known as “Katy Perry.”

It’s a lovely dress. But Lady Gaga looks weirdly waxwork here, and was even more so when she awarded a Globe with Tom Ford. We’re a little scared.

On the red carpet, she was talking about babysitters. Safe to say mummy is OUT for the evening.

Glittering, gorgeous: an awards night dress that does what awards night dresses need to do.

The awards night fashion road less traveled again for Blanchett. She makes it work—just.

Dear Jane Fonda, we love you. But tonight is not mariachis and margaritas night. Please return to the pile marked “possible curtains.”

Every right-minded person applauds innovation, adventurousness, and cocking a snook at convention. But Rooney Mara, now is not the time to go all Miss Havisham. The moths have done their worst. Next time, ask a friend who likes simple, shiny, glittery things.
