Here we go!

The Golden Globes marks the unofficial start of red carpet season. It's the award show that creates momentum for future winners of other ceremonies and also sets the style standard for red carpet moments, too. To say a celeb should start off with a fashion-forward bang is an understatement, which is why it's important to look back at the most epic looks from Golden Globes past. 

Remember Emma Stone's peachy Calvin Klein dress from 2011 or her two-tone, cap-sleeved Lanvin number she wore in 2012? Fast forward six years later, and it'll be interesting to see how her style has evolved.

Looking at references from just last year will get fashion fans excited. Lily Collins was a modern-day princess in Zuhair Murad Couture while Evan Rachel Wood proved that you don't have to wear a pretty dress to make a style statement. 

Don't just take our word for it. Keep scrolling to see the best Golden Globes looks of all time.
