- The annual Golden Globe Awards hosted a dual ceremony this year, allowing both virtual and socially distanced attendance.
- The cream of the crop of film and television attended from various corners of all the world dressed in uncompromised designer gowns we imagine they would have on the actual red carpet during simpler times.
- So in case you missed any of the razzmatazz of the evening, we've rounded up our favourite looks including Regina King's custom Louis Vuitton gown, Anya Taylor-Joy's Dior look, Viola Davis' figure-sculpting dress, and Sarah Paulson's custom Prada cast.
This year's Golden Globes were held on 28 February 2021, as a bicoastal event hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in New York and Beverly Hills.
Like most of the awards ceremonies since the Golden Globes last February, most of the nominees attended via video link, but that didn’t stop the stars dressing up to the nines for the occasion.
It looks like several A-listers went 'Black to Basics' for the occasion. Perhaps to mark the somber era we're still in? Or maybe it's just a return to old Hollywood glam.

Sarah Paulson
What's a Hollywood star to do when they injure themselves on the day of a big awards show? Well, if you're actress Sarah Paulson, apparently you get Prada to make you a custom cast that matches your custom gown.
Sarah couldn’t skip the ceremony because she was nominated for her role on the series Ratched. So she and her stylist Karla Welch, got Prada to create a cast – complete with a Prada logo – to complement her black custom gown by the Italian fashion house as well.

The 'This is Us' star pretty much stole the show in this Couture blue fringed Georges Hobeika dress.
