After last year’s controversial pause, the Golden Globes returned on Tuesday and Hollywood turned it out on the red carpet.
The 80th annual ceremony took over the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles and featured a slew of queer celebrities including Laverne Cox, Billy Porter, Niecy Nash, Colman Domingo, Michaela Jae Rodriguez, Matt Bomer, Jeremy Pope, and host Jarrod Carmichael.

Among the actors taking home awards were Jennifer Coolidge, Angela Bassett, Austin Butler, Quinta Brunson, and Colin Farrell. TV favorites like The White Lotus, Abbott Elementary and House of the Dragon also came out on top, with Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans and The Banshees of Inisherin winning in the film categories.
Whether your favorites won or not, the fashion did not disappoint as the first official award show of the year brought out everyone’s A game. Among the standouts were usual fashion slayer Billy Porter in a vibrant fuchsia tuxedo gown, Wednesday star Jenna Ortega in a flowing beige Gucci dress, and Rihanna in a luxe black ball gown.

The House of the Dragon star deserves all the Negroni sbagliatos and at least 3 dragons for this stunning oversized tux jacket, trousers and skirt combo, stiletto boots and blue gloves ensemble. House Targaryen’s rule knows no end!

Oh how I miss Joan Rivers and her reading of the red carpet.
abfab
And then Fashion Police following. Yeah, she should still be with us. What is Millissa up to? And Cooper. He was such a cutie patootie. The Red Carpet will never be the same.
Someone made a Scientology joke—–did Kirstie Alley reincarnate already?
LumpyPillows
Joan was a hoot, but they would have cancelled her by now. Not that it would have stopped her. Joan certainly would have made a crude Kirstie Alley joke and it would have been funny.

Laverne Cox- why does she bug me so much? Maybe the falsified voice and cadence.
Kangol2
It seems there’s always someone or something that bothers or bores or repels you. Is there anyone or anything that sparks a positive, affirmative response from you?
dbmcvey
Why would we know why someone bugs you? It’s your issue, figure it out for yourself.
bachy
Emma D’Arcy (House of the Dragon) kills it! She looks like Kristen Stewart might look after being homeless for 7 years!
In their classic cis-het white male black & white tuxes, Bomer, Butler, Stan and Pitt are just begging to be incarcerated for fashion hostile to the Theydom!
Jenny Ortega’s beige bore gown is a huge miss; didn’t even know who she was til I read the name. A touch of Goth Murderess would have made Wednesday more recognizable!
LumpyPillows
You’re a hoot. I will disagree with your take on Jenny, so, take that.
mateo
Jeremy Pope’s outfit was the greatest–hands down. (What the photo above fails to reveal is that there were also diamonds running along the edge of his shoes). A spectacular look. I also like Andrew Garfield’s outfit, while recognizing that this particular shade of orange doesn’t work for everyone. Please, for men’s formal wear, can we retire the tuxes and black bow ties forever? They’re SO boring.
Kangol2
You can see the diamond (rhinestone?) studded boots in the second photo. He does look good!
greekboy
Matt Bomer is really aging well. Dont know his age, but those sleepy eyes are killer
LumpyPillows
He is dreamy!
