Since 1944, Hollywood's A-list have walked the Golden Globes red carpet in slinky gowns, sequined dresses, and statement-making tuxedos so glamorous you can't look away. Here, we've rounded up our favorite looks from 1956 through 2021. Each year has been different than the last, from 2018's all-black movement in support of #MeToo and the TimesUp initiative to 2021's bold colors and patterns (which were needed to stand out on Zoom during the half-remote broadcast). As exciting as it is to think about what memorable style moments lie ahead, it's just as fun to look back at history. For a true fashion flashback, check out the best Golden Globes looks through the years.
